The Blindsided: How Berlin and Paris Cleared the Way for Russia
On February 24, 2022, Russia blindsided most of Europe with its all-out invasion of Ukraine. This forced an overdue reckoning for Europeans on the failures of their Russia policy and the realities of Vladimir Putin’s agenda. In particular, France and Germany had been hoodwinked by promises of cheap Russian energy supplies, as well as the pipe dream of a common European security architecture with Moscow. In Sylvie Kauffmann’s new book Les Aveuglés: Comment Berlin et Paris ont laissé la voie libre à la Russie (The Blindsided: How Berlin and Paris Cleared the Way for Russia), she asks how and when France and Germany could have acted differently and changed the path of history. At what point was it clear that Putin was heading down this path? And why did Europeans, again and again, ignore the warning signs? Will Europe emerge more unified or more divided by this war that has opened its eyes?
Sylvie Kauffmann is a foreign affairs columnist for the French newspaper Le Monde. She also contributes to the opinion pages of the Financial Times and has been a contributing writer for the New York Times. She was the editor-in-chief of Le Monde in 2010-2011. She joined the newspaper in 1987 as Moscow correspondent. Since then, she has been Eastern and Central Europe correspondent, U.S. correspondent based in Washington D.C., New York Bureau Chief, and reporter-at-large in Asia, based in Singapore. Prior to joining Le Monde, Sylvie Kauffmann worked for Agence France-Presse as a foreign correspondent, in London, New Caledonia (South Pacific), Warsaw, and Moscow. Sylvie Kauffmann is the author of Les Aveuglés: Comment Paris et Berlin ont ouvert la voie à la Russie (2023), a book about France, Germany and Putin’s Russia.
Alexander Stille is a journalist and author who has written extensively on Italian subjects, among other topics. He has written extensively for a wide range of American publications including The New Yorker, The New York Times, The Atlantic and the New York Review of Books as well as La Repubblica in Italy. His most recent book is on a decidedly un-Italian subject: The Sullivanians: Sex, Psychotherapy, and the Wild Life of an American Commune. It tells the story of a psychoanalytic institute in New York that evolved into an urban commune and devolved into a cult.

Bonjour, est ce que ça peut être sous titré en français s'il vous plait ? Bonne journée
Definitely the "future and its emotionality" must be studied because its definitions might include such health outcomes to make an endemic population a role model of development for future gains, definitely their might be some definition of future, despite the less rigour and less scientific definition of the administrative part of lomidine. Brilliant case for medical anthropology including the privilege, the neglect of privileged, the neglect of human consent even definition of consent, eradication politics, shifting wonders definition, the cultural power of wonders, making definitions to form ethnic and races by doctors, role of power at every level to feel empowered by the prejudices on both side but with a power inequality, did the job attitude, post op complications of OPD based day surgery in phenomenology apart from adverse and common complications, the guilt of injecting, mobs killing same doctors, the promise of committee formation to investigate, etc.

Thank you 🙏
You all pretend not to understand. Uk became rich as a result of slavery. Generational wealth. Slaves were unpaid Oxford and Cambridge universities received large donations from slave masters. Lloyds Bank dealt with slave masters. What about Descendants of slaves? Slaves were unpaid Buckingham palace was built by slaves. So the issue us Descendants of slave masters are still using monies from slavery. Defendants of slaves are left with nothing Descendants of slaves have no generational wealth, only prejudice
Nope did thstvibyro

“We who are still living must remind ourselves that the only reason we are alive is because we did less than others.” Wow.
Nonsense
@@uselessdegenerate7565 This was in the context of post WW2

We have a new beast. The world has only gotten worse as the new beast works at enslaving us. The beast that is working at forcing us to our knees with hunger and fear. History shows us that freedom is always temporary. Our only hope is the return of the King. Jesus Christ is our only hope. Without his return we continue to repeat history.
We just don't have that kind of faith, Camus understood that. Salvation lies not in the external but in the choices we make every day between Good and evil in our resistance against an absurd universe
Gandhi said that quote, not Camus. Not sure exactly what the answers are, but I know violence is not the answer.
any lecture concerning France and the human condition exemplified by her is worthless without a complete treatment of her colonial past and present. Brown people can also suffer. Albert Camus is particularly entitled to the French empire and particularly unapoligetic of it. shame shame
That's not really true he was deeply anti-colonial and did have a conflicting opinion about Algeria but that largely comes from his own familial context stand the fact that he had family at risk.
Thank you very much for sharing. Shame that the sound s so bad

Wonderful! Let us now do our best work.

I like Alex Gil. Lol He's my kind of thinker and a good person to have on a panel where one may get lost in the placation of literary works for the consumption of Murican audiences.
Camus' vision of humanism is beautiful, but does not take into account that there will always be those who thirst for power, have little or no empathy, and have an incredible will. How do we armor ourselves against them? How do we push back? How do we stop violent and ill-willed people?
I think that Camus knows very well that these evil people will always appear, you can get this idea at the end of the novel "The Plague". And the solution, you can see it in this speech in the video where he talks about sincerity, union and revolt. Life is a constant struggle, it's a tragedy, and Camus recognized that.
@Daniel Alves The more I delve into the philosophy of Camus, I find that he promotes courage and heroism in the face of trouble. He must, or else his philosophy would be incredibly naive. I am in the middle of reading The Plague. This philosophy has been an inspiration to me.
Dommage, c'est quasiment inaudible

I don't want to repeat what I imagine Prof Paul Mullens and Dr Tyshing might thing of your double talk; lucky I cannot really understand anything; but I notice that no one happy in this world.
Thank you, again. Watching from Alaska.
Hitler was one man. There were the gestapo and Gehring ect and yes history is written by the victors. But what is far more evil than any one man could be, is an organization like the CIA. The darkest substance that this world has known has a manifestation as in the these evil people pulling the strings.
You´re so right. It is exactly the same darkness I experienced when I listened to a story here on youtube where a prisoner (I think in Korea) was shot in his womb and then they took a doctor to get out the bullett without narcotics....just for the experiment. As I say: There are people, there are animals & there are insects. I could vomit. In regard to that evil, Hitler was some kind of a romantic hermit....besides, I don´t think he even knew that some people like Mengele existed, his opinion about this would´ve been quite interesting.
I used to read camus until I got to know him. English language is complex and causes understanding. I always sought the truth giver. He found me. I was told I was born 1962. I have been thinking for a while now. Thought to think for my own responsibility

There is no hope in going with the latest trends you will always be looking for more come to the loving savior who will fill you if you keep seek him he can fill you with his Holy Spirit. Today is the day of salvation come to the loving savior To the loving savior repent and do not go to hell Come to Jesus Christ today Jesus Christ is only way to heaven Repent and follow him today seek his heart Jesus Christ can fill the emptiness he can fill the void Heaven and hell is real cone to the loving savior today Today is the day of salvation tomorrow might be to late come to the loving savior today John 3:16-21 16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. 17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. 18 He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. 19 And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. 20 For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved. 21 But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God. Mark 1.15 15 And saying, The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: repent ye, and believe the gospel. 2 Peter 3:9 The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance. Hebrews 11:6 6 But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him. Jesus

The Summary is so important: "Whenever we judge France or any other country or any matter in terms of power, we're aiding and abetting a conception of Man, that leads inevitably to His mutilation. We're reinforcing the thirst for domination and we're headed toward the sanctioning of murder. What goes for the world of action goes for the world of ideas, and those who say or write that the end justifies the means, those who say right is measured in force, they're absolutely responsible for atrocious accumulation of crimes, disfiguring contemporary Europe."
Mankind is forced to be ever more brutal as technology advances (to keep others subjected) in order to be embodied. To not live in an embodied way is to invite the mutilation of your own body. Man is an animal.
I see you, Bradley Cooper.
