Alain Bauer, professor of criminology at the CNAM and author of “Tu neras point” published by Fayard, was the guest of La Grande interview Europe 1-CNews this Tuesday morning. At the microphone of Sonia Mabrouk, he returned to the increasingly isolated position of the West on the international scene.
“Nothing should be excluded.” During the conference organized by President Emmanuel Macron and bringing together the countries supporting Ukraine in its war against Russia, the President of the Republic did not rule out sending Western troops to the front in the future. “We will do everything to ensure that Russia cannot win this war,” he continued, with the head of state saying he “assumes” a “strategic ambiguity.”
A conflict clone of the war between the two Koreas
“The question has never been the troops but that of ammunition,” exclaims Alain Bauer, professor of criminology at the CNAM. Invited this Tuesday morning on the set of La Grande interview, the author of “Tu neras point” published by Fayard, regrets that kyiv’s supporters are unable to provide ammunition. “We don’t have any and we won’t send any since we haven’t yet sufficiently restarted the ammunition circuit.”
“The rate of consumption of military equipment is 4 to 5 times higher than the rate of production. We have just liquidated all stocks,” he continues, now comparing the Russian-Ukrainian conflict to that between the two Koreas. . According to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, only 30% of the “million shells that the EU promised” have been delivered.
“We have disarmed all our sovereignty”
Two years after the return of the war to European soil, Alain Bauer believes that we have returned to the time of “the war of empires. We have awakened old empires which had been dominated and domesticated by the West. And the The West has never been so weak and so isolated. It has lost the South and the Persian Gulf. It has also lost Africa and South America. Fortunately, it still has a major element which explains the global South. “It doesn’t really exist, it’s the India-China conflict. This allowed us to have India on our side, and China more on the side of the Russians.”
Before concluding: “We are in the process of having a reconfiguration. (…) However, Europe is the one which has disarmed itself. It disarmed itself because it believed in a giant Erasmus where it There were roughly tourists and students. We have disarmed all our industrial sovereignty, our economic sovereignty, our military sovereignty and as a result, we have a security crisis which is added to all the others,” says Alain Bauer.
