Imaginez un instant qu’il y ait, comme cela semble se dessiner ces jours-ci - je ne veux pas parler ici d’axe - une position commune Paris-Berlin-Moscou d’une part, et une position Londres-Rome-Madrid-Washington d’autre part.
Just imagine – and I will not use the word ‘axis’ – that there were to be, as seems at present to be taking shape, something like two common positions, with Paris, Berlin and Moscow on the one side and London, Rome, Madrid and Washington on the other.
