Last year right before Macron was going to discuss with Putin, the media was asking him loaded questions to get him to call Putin naughty words.
And when he didn't, they pressed on him, being more explicit in their fishing for naughty words.
He replied, paraphrasing ''you don't insult someone heading into negociations''.
( Or more realistically, you don't when the person is in a position of strenght. If they were weak, begging for your leniency, insulting them wouldn't matter. )

C'est probablement une des premières fois que je suis d'accord avec Macron.
C'est vrai.
