1
00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:02.100
I don’t admire living people.

2
00:00:02.400 --> 00:00:04.300
You said: “I dream of a French Putin…”

3
00:00:04.300 --> 00:00:06.550
That was fifteen years ago.

4
00:00:06.600 --> 00:00:07.950
No, it was in 2018.

5
00:00:08.100 --> 00:00:08.850
No.

6
00:00:09.200 --> 00:00:10.550
2018, you think?

7
00:00:10.550 --> 00:00:11.550
2018.

8
00:00:11.850 --> 00:00:13.200
You said it in 2010…

9
00:00:13.200 --> 00:00:15.650
I was sure you’d say fifteen years ago…

10
00:00:15.650 --> 00:00:17.450
In 2018… that’s ten years ago.

11
00:00:17.500 --> 00:00:18.450
It’s eight years.

12
00:00:18.500 --> 00:00:20.100
“I dream of a French Putin.”

13
00:00:20.100 --> 00:00:24.100
That was four years after
the illegal armed invasion of Crimea.

14
00:00:24.250 --> 00:00:25.550
Four years after.

15
00:00:26.350 --> 00:00:29.050
We’re not going to discuss Crimea.
It’s a very particular case.

16
00:00:29.050 --> 00:00:31.950
Crimea… Let’s move on. Putin.

17
00:00:31.950 --> 00:00:35.300
I said that because he
had restored his country

18
00:00:35.300 --> 00:00:39.100
after the catastrophe of the Yeltsin years.

19
00:00:39.450 --> 00:00:41.200
That’s a fact.

20
00:00:41.350 --> 00:00:45.450
Now, obviously, he isn’t a democrat,
a social democrat.

21
00:00:45.900 --> 00:00:47.700
I have no admiration for Putin.

22
00:00:47.700 --> 00:00:49.700
I admire the great dead.

23
00:00:49.700 --> 00:00:52.550
I admire Napoleon and Chateaubriand,

24
00:00:52.550 --> 00:00:55.600
Pascal, General de Gaulle and Richelieu,

25
00:00:55.600 --> 00:00:56.950
not living people.

26
00:00:56.950 --> 00:00:59.100
Sorry to tell you, but that’s how it is.

27
00:00:59.100 --> 00:01:01.750
So there you are. Now,

28
00:01:01.750 --> 00:01:05.250
Putin is Russian. And Russia

29
00:01:05.250 --> 00:01:07.900
is in Europe — half the country, anyway.

30
00:01:07.900 --> 00:01:10.100
And Putin is Russia’s leader.

31
00:01:10.100 --> 00:01:12.850
So you deal with him. As head
of state, you deal with everyone.

32
00:01:12.850 --> 00:01:13.900
De Gaulle taught us that.

33
00:01:13.900 --> 00:01:15.200
You deal with whoever is there.

34
00:01:15.200 --> 00:01:15.840
Exactly.
