French President Emmanuel Macron refused a Russian Covid test ahead of his meeting with Russia's Vladimir Putin, the Kremlin has confirmed.

The test required a health protocol that was unacceptable and did not fit with the French leader's schedule, a French source told the BBC.

It follows reports that Mr Macron refused the PCR test over fears the Russians would get hold of his DNA.

The leaders subsequently held a socially-distanced meeting on Monday.

They did not shake hands and sat with a four-metre-long table between them, with observers wondering whether Mr Putin was using it to send a diplomatic message.

But French diplomatic sources told Reuters that Mr Macron had been told to choose between accepting a Russian PCR test to get closer to Putin or abide by strict social distancing rules.

 

"We knew very well that meant no handshake and that long table. But we could not accept that they get their hands on the president's DNA," one of the sources told Reuters.

The source did not elaborate on how the Russian intelligence services could exploit Mr Macron's DNA.

A source at the Elysée Palace told the BBC: "The conditions imposed for the meeting to take place with no social distancing required a health protocol which were according to us unacceptable and incompatible with the president's schedule."

I'm still rolling on the floor with laughter... The Russians have had Macron's DNA on file since he became the French President... This is not hard to get... Putin and macron have shaken hands many times in the 22 years since Putin came to power in Russia... I'm sure Putin knows the game being played and his sharp chess playing ability is keeping him several moves ahead... Putin would be aware that his own DNA is on stock at the CIA headquarters...

 

The "deal" was done WITH a handshake between Reagan and Gorbachev. AND THERE IS NOTHING COMPLICATED ABOUT IT. The only problem is that one cannot trust the Americans. The way Reagan joked about the USSR is proof of his disdain for the Russians. His handshake was worth peanuts.

Today we offer you an exceptional interview that Roland Dumas gave us. He was Minister of Foreign Affairs in the crucial period 1989-1991, when the Cold War ended.

It answers several central questions in the current crisis between Russia, the United States and Ukraine.

Make it clear that this is not about siding with any side of the conflict - our position and message on this site is clear: do not side with any foreign government whatsoever, and always demand that he proves what he claims.

I. The revelations of Roland Dumas

As we will see below, the current crisis has its origins in the permanent extension of NATO since the disappearance of the USSR.

In order to clarify things, we went to ask Roland Dumas what was said and promised to the USSR in 1990, in exchange for the reunification of Germany.

II. Propaganda in the West

The question of this promise is therefore historically important.

This interview confirms in all respects the brilliant analysis of the archivists of George Washington University, who compiled the sources attesting to these promises. We recommend that you read their analysis in this post: NATO Expansion: What Gorbachev Heard (http://nsarchive.gwu.edu)

Of course, everyone agrees that there was no signed commitment, which the Americans rightly point out, steeped in their legal culture.

But since it is about their security, the Russians do not see this the same way. It should also be noted that this broken promise obviously does not give all the rights to the Russians. It simply explains the current state of our relationship.

As we are therefore arriving in a zone of high tension, you will have noted the establishment of pro-government war propaganda (at home, but also in all the other countries concerned). I remind you of the principles, brilliantly exposed by Anne Morelli in her book on War Propaganda (summary to be consulted here), and which can be schematized as follows:

From John Cleese

 

The English are feeling the pinch in relation to recent Russian threats and have therefore raised their security level from “Miffed” to “Peeved.”

 

Soon, though, security levels may be raised yet again to “Irritated” or even “A Bit Cross.” The English have not been “A Bit Cross” since the blitz in 1940 when tea supplies nearly ran out. The Russians have been re-categorized from “Tiresome” to “A Bloody Nuisance.” The last time the British issued a “Bloody Nuisance” warning level was in 1588, when threatened by the Spanish Armada.

The Scots have raised their threat level from “Pissed Off” to “Let’s Get the Bastards.” They don’t have any other levels. This is the reason they have been used on the front line of the British army for the last 300 years.

The French government announced yesterday that it has raised its terror alert level from “Run” to “Hide.” The only two higher levels in France are “Collaborate” and “Surrender.” The rise was precipitated by a recent fire that destroyed France’s white flag factory, effectively paralyzing the country’s military capability.

Italy has increased the alert level from “Shout Loudly and Excitedly” to “Elaborate Military Posturing.” Two more levels remain: “Ineffective Combat Operations” and “Change Sides.”

The Germans have increased their alert state from “Disdainful Arrogance” to “Dress in Uniform and Sing Marching Songs.” They also have two higher levels: “Invade a Neighbour” and “Lose.”

Belgians, on the other hand, are all on holiday as usual; the only threat they are worried about is NATO pulling out of Brussels.

The Spanish are all excited to see their new submarines ready to deploy. These beautifully designed subs have glass bottoms so the new Spanish navy can get a really good look at the old Spanish navy.

Australia, meanwhile, has raised its security level from “No worries” to “She’ll be alright, Mate.” Two more escalation levels remain: “Crikey! I think we’ll need to cancel the barbie this weekend!” and “The barbie is cancelled.” So far, no situation has ever warranted use of the final escalation level.

The Democrat made the statement during an event called Friends of Ireland, which is hosted every year at the White House on St Patrick's Day, a cultural and religious holiday celebrated both in the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland.

 

US President Joe Biden should be happy that his ancestors did not overhear the joke he made at the White House on Friday. Otherwise, he would have earned a slap to the back of his head. The 79-year-old, who is of Irish descent, questioned the intellectual abilities of the Irish while addressing guests during St Patrick's Day.

 

"Father, before I begin — bless me, Father, for I'm about to sin. I — well, I just want you to know, I may be Irish, but I'm not stupid. I married Dominic Giacoppa's daughter. Okay?", the president said as per the transcript posted on the White House website.

 

Dominic Giacoppa is the Sicilian name of Biden's father-in-law Donald C Jacobs. The Democrat then went on to say how proud he is of his Irish heritage before stating that the bond between "Ireland and the United States…has grown deeper and stronger over the years".

 

However, his quip about intellectual abilities has not gone down well, with POTUS facing intense criticism for making what people have described as an "insulting" and "rude" remark.
