War in Ukraine: what is “Macroning”, this word invented by the Russians to make fun of Emmanuel Macr – The Independent

New surreal sequence on Russian television. Target of criticism this time, Emmanuel Macron. The invasion of Ukraine has passed its 100th day. More than 100 days of atrocities but also of propaganda. Julia Davis is a journalist and in particular creator of the Russian Media Monitor, which plays the role of veritable sentinel of the Russian state media on the social network Twitter. It is to her that we owe the “nuggets” released here and there since the beginning of the conflict. This Monday, she credits us, once again, with a sequence that is too mind-blowing to be true. A debate in which the columnists directly attacked … Emmanuel Macron this time. Judge the little.

It is very difficult to stand up to that. Just compare our Commander-in-Chief (Putin, editor’s note) with the European leaders, in terms of experience, responsibility, charisma , ideology, professional preparation. We negotiate with mediocre leaders. 40 years ago, if the European Prime Ministers had seen who was leading their countries, they would have died before their time, all victims of a heart attack. I recently read that the President of the French Republic, Emmanuel Macron, counts how many hours he spends talking with Vladimir Putin on the phone, and before each call he publishes these photos, in which he suffers so much that I I worry about him. In each photo, he grabs his head with both hands, his heart, or takes sedatives. I don’t know what’s wrong with him. Every phone call is a tough test for him. He gives everything he has in it.” Vladimir Solovyov, state TV journalist: “Macron has called many times. Fortunately, Putin did not respond each time. So he took medicine, hoping he would respond. There is now a term: “Macroning” which means calling a lot for no reason”. Watch the video in full below. Meanwhile on Russian state TV, they’re making fun of Macron (as usual), praising Putin (as always) and bashing all European leaders. In other words, it’s just another day in Moscow. They couldn’t care less if anyone feels humiliated. In fact, they probably see it as a bonus. pic.twitter.com/r9XmuqgHvi — Julia Davis (@JuliaDavisNews) June 6, 2022
