D\u00e9sarroi type-Albion<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\tLe 30 novembre 2002 A cinq jours d’intervalle, la lecture du Telegraph<\/em> de Londres est int\u00e9ressante. Parce que les deux articles portent sur la question de la d\u00e9fense europ\u00e9enne et qu’ils disent exactement le contraire ; parce que le Telegraph<\/em> est un organe proche, en tendance, des droitistes radicaux am\u00e9ricains, style neo-cons<\/em>, et bien repr\u00e9sentatif \u00e0 Londres de la faction atlantiste extr\u00e9miste.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\t•Dans le premier article, publi\u00e9 le 22 novembre 2002, en marge du sommet de l’OTAN \u00e0 Prague,<\/a> Michael Smith, qui est le Defence Correspondant<\/em>, nous explique que la cr\u00e9ation de la Rapid Respond Force de l’OTAN est un coup de ma\u00eetre, qui permet de bloquer toute possibilit\u00e9 (un spectre<\/em>) d’une French-dominated Euro army<\/em>. L’amusant de l’article est qu’il est consacr\u00e9e \u00e0 la nouvelle force OTAN et qu’il commence \u00e0 nous entretenir avec forces d\u00e9tails sur la Force de R\u00e9action Rapide de l’UE, pour nous faire comprendre combien d\u00e8s le d\u00e9but les Britanniques ont jou\u00e9 \u00e0 fond contre les Fran\u00e7ais ce qui est, bien s\u00fbr, une fable compl\u00e8te. Dans l’extrait ci-dessous, on appr\u00e9ciera notamment ce monument de malhonn\u00eatet\u00e9 intellectuelle ou d’incomp\u00e9tence professionnelle, ou simplement de mensonge \u00e0 l’\u00e9tat pur, d\u00e9lib\u00e9r\u00e9 et construit dans le but de tromper, repr\u00e9sent\u00e9 par la phrase : \u00ab There is no doubt that the French, who persuaded Tony Blair to join them in the drive to set up the EU force…<\/em> \u00bb \u00c9crire aujourd’hui, quand on est Britannique et Defence Correspondant<\/em>, que ce sont les Fran\u00e7ais qui, en octobre-d\u00e9cembre 1998, persuad\u00e8rent Tony Blair de se joindre \u00e0 eux pour lancer le projet de d\u00e9fense europ\u00e9enne d\u00e9sormais connu comme l’initiative de Saint-Malo, repr\u00e9sente une imposture qui en dit long sur certains quartiers et journalistes de la presse anglo-saxonne. (Est-il utile de r\u00e9p\u00e9ter, oui, apr\u00e8s tout que c’est le contraire et que si, aujourd’hui, les Fran\u00e7ais publiaient certaines propositions britanniques d’alors rest\u00e9es secr\u00e8tes, il y aurait plus que de la surprise dans le chef des divers Defence Correspondants<\/em> et de ceux qui applaudissent, aujourd’hui encore, l’alliance UK-USA-NATO.)<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\t\u00ab Nato insists that its new rapid reaction force is not an attempt to undermine plans by the European Union to create a similar force. Nato spokesmen say the new \u00a0\u00bbcapability\u00a0\u00bb developed for the Nato force would reinforce the EU as well because many of the units would be \u00a0\u00bbdouble-hatted\u00a0\u00bb for both forces. But, in reality, the Nato force will remove the spectre of the embryonic EU force becoming a Euro army dominated by France.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\t\u00bb The Nato \u00a0\u00bbresponse force\u00a0\u00bb will take all the best fighting troops Europe can deploy. It, rather than the Euro-army, will carry out any serious mission that the European nations believe they should mount. There is no doubt that the French, who persuaded Tony Blair to join them in the drive to set up the EU force, wanted it to be a rival to Nato, but they appear to have been outflanked by the Americans.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\t\u00bb The creation of the EU force was agreed at the Helsinki summit in December 1999. Its possible roles initially appeared limited. It would deploy to any trouble spot in Europe, or possibly Africa and the Middle East, to carry out operations ranging from provision of humanitarian aid, through evacuation of civilians from a war zone to separation of warring factions.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\t\u00bb Britain insisted that it would never be a \u00a0\u00bbwar-fighting\u00a0\u00bb force. It was entirely about peacekeeping and humanitarian aid. The French disagreed. Privately, British officials said they would veto any such move and let it be known that they had pushed the force so strongly to persuade the other European countries to increase their defence capabilities.<\/em> \u00bb<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\t• Dans le second article, paru cinq jours plus tard, le 27 novembre,<\/a> le m\u00eame journal commente la position franco-allemande \u00e9nonc\u00e9e dans un document commun pour la Convention europ\u00e9enne, publi\u00e9 le 21 novembre en marge du sommet de l’OTAN de Prague. Ce texte, qui aurait pu \u00eatre publi\u00e9 le jour m\u00eame o\u00f9 celui du 22 paraissait pour nous annoncer la mort du \u00ab spectre of the embryonic EU force becoming a Euro army dominated by France <\/em> \u00bb, nous annonce \u00e0 peu pr\u00e8s l’exact contraire.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\t\u00ab France and Germany have called for a full European security and defence union, pushing Britain to the sidelines in their latest attempt to revive the Berlin-Paris axis. In a move that has alarmed the Foreign Office, the two governments have put forward a joint plan for a Euro-army with an \u00a0\u00bbintegrated command capability\u00a0\u00bb and a \u00a0\u00bbEuropean Armaments Agency\u00a0\u00bb.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\t\u00bb The ideas are being portrayed in Paris and Berlin as the product of frustration at Britain’s tendency to be the mouthpiece of America on foreign policy issues, rather than looking to Europe.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\t\u00bb The Franco-German plan envisages something far more ambitious than the limited peacekeeping and humanitarian missions of the European Union’s rapid reaction force of 60,000. Under the Franco-German blueprint there would be a unified system of military training and a shared strategic doctrine. The document talks about establishing \u00a0\u00bbmultinational forces with integrated leadership capacities, regardless of their Nato actions\u00a0\u00bb. It also talks about \u00a0\u00bbharmonising military needs planning\u00a0\u00bb.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\t\u00bb The proposals, which are to be submitted to the defence working group of the Convention on the Future of Europe, alter the character of EU defence and threaten the current link between the EU’s rapid reaction force and the Nato command structure.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\t\u00bb The Earl of Stockton, a Tory MEP and a member of the convention’s defence working group, said the Government was losing control of the European military project, which it launched with the French at St Malo in 1998. \u00a0\u00bbIf this goes ahead, it will effectively by-pass the joint EU-Nato command and open the way for a total separation from Nato, which is what the French have always wanted, of course,\u00a0\u00bb he said.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\t\u00bb Crucially, France and Germany say they must be allowed to go ahead with the plans even if other EU nations oppose the idea. The document proposes letting an advance guard of EU states form their own defence corps, backed by the EU institutions under a mechanism known as \u00a0\u00bbenhanced co-operation\u00a0\u00bb.<\/em> \u00bb<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\tLa diff\u00e9rence de ton entre les deux textes est confondante, ici, l’assurance d’une victoire (otanienne, atlantiste, am\u00e9ricaniste, etc) enfin remport\u00e9e, l\u00e0 le spectre (le mot va bien) d’une d\u00e9faite consomm\u00e9e \u00e0 cause des manigance franco-allemandes instrument\u00e9es par le machiav\u00e9lisme fran\u00e7ais ; cela, \u00e0 5 jours d’intervale pour la publication, mais d\u00e9crivant deux \u00e9v\u00e9nements du m\u00eame jour. Si l’affaire montre quelque chose, c’est la parano\u00efa de ces milieux britannico-atlantistes qui guettent depuis un demi-si\u00e8cle le complot fran\u00e7ais qui les d\u00e9truira.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\tPour le reste, on observera :<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\t• A cause \u00e0 son hyper-suivisme pro-am\u00e9ricain, Tony Blair devient l’otage de la partie la plus hyper-atlantiste de l’establishment<\/em> britannique. On lui d\u00e9nie m\u00eame le b\u00e9n\u00e9fice de ses initiatives \u00a0\u00bbeurop\u00e9ennes\u00a0\u00bb les plus saillantes. (Saint-Malo devenant un complot fran\u00e7ais alors qu’il s’agit du corpus<\/em> des ambitions europ\u00e9ennes de Blair, dans sa fameuse tactique du \u00a0\u00bbpont\u00a0\u00bb transatlantique, \u00e0 la fois furieusement pro-US et compl\u00e8tement europ\u00e9en.) A contrario<\/em>, Tony Blair est d\u00e9sormais compl\u00e8tement compromis aux yeux m\u00eame des Britanniques pro-europ\u00e9ens.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\t• L’irr\u00e9alisme de l’analyse britannique est compl\u00e8te m\u00eame au travers des sources (\u00e9videmment gouvernementales) cit\u00e9es, montrant \u00e9videmment le d\u00e9sarroi actuel de ce pays. L’initiative franco-allemande est pr\u00e9sent\u00e9e comme une trahison fran\u00e7aise (une de plus) aux d\u00e9pens des Britanniques et une initiative d\u00e9cisive alors que les Fran\u00e7ais ont inform\u00e9 par avance les Britanniques de ce qui allait se passer et du contenu de cette initiative, sans soulever d’objection majeure.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\t• Le comportement \u00a0\u00bbr\u00e9el\u00a0\u00bb des Britanniques laisse d’ailleurs beaucoup \u00e0 penser, et refl\u00e8te encore plus ce d\u00e9sarroi dont nous parlons. Depuis l’incident Chirac-Blair de Bruxelles, les Britanniques n’ont cess\u00e9 de se montrer tr\u00e8s conciliants avec les Fran\u00e7ais, et leur comportement dans les enceintes europ\u00e9ennes, du point de vue de la d\u00e9fense europ\u00e9enne, notamment lors de la r\u00e9cente r\u00e9union des ministres de la d\u00e9fense de l’UE, est redevenue un mod\u00e8le de coop\u00e9ration. Des sources fran\u00e7aises ont relev\u00e9 que les Britanniques avaient \u00e9t\u00e9, avec les Belges, \u00ab les participants les plus r\u00e9solument coop\u00e9ratifs avec nous, dans un sens favorable \u00e0 la d\u00e9fense europ\u00e9enne<\/em> \u00bb.<\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
