Macron urges a new European military coalition as an alternative to NATO to help combat Russia and other threats. "We can't rely on (the US) or rest of the world."
The plan is to create a European army with France, UK, Italy, Poland, Baltic states and everyone who seeks to join.

Canada, UK, Germany are primary targets for the Russia right now. Elon Musk is helping the Kremlin amplify its influence operations and bankrolling the politicians favourable to Putin. This is an attack on democracy and an operation to decrease support and aid for Ukraine.
