France’s president, Emmanuel Macron, urged middle powers to resist domination by America and China. He warned in Seoul against becoming “vassals” of unpredictable superpowers. His remarks followed fresh criticism from Donald Trump over Europe’s Iran policy. Macron said military action risks destabilising global order and weakening NATO. He proposed maritime-security cooperation with Japan and South Korea in the Strait of Hormuz. France will advance this balancing agenda at the G7 summit it hosts in June.

Macron needs a bridge from his abstract position the practical level.
What does this entail? Does he have a legible strategic framework in mind?
These statements make a lot of waves in the political press… but I haven’t come across any interest from professional geostrategists. There isn’t much to analyze or contrast, at this point
