Guess I’ll be votin’ “Oui!” for that then.
History in the making?
Language question — when speaking French, one would not actually use the word “exit” and so the neologism “Frexit” strikes me as something an English-speaking journalist would write. Does anyone know if the actual word “Frexit” is being used in France, or is there a more French way of expressing this concept when On est dans Paris?
I want a : UNEXIT...get us the heck out of the UN and Israel too...First cut funding them give them an exit timetable...that property on the River in NYC is worth a fortune ...throw the ungrateful sons of belial out...lol!
The global trend away from Globalism continues. Brexit, Trump, Le Pen ...
Ms. lePen is correct on the NATO issue. It WAS put together for a European defense force against The Warsaw Pact, and ultimately, the Soviet Union. Yes, there is ‘Russia’, but without ‘the Soviet buffer states’, including the once was East Germany, there has been no threat of expansion.
With the discussions coming from Brussels of an ‘EU Army’, I believe it is time for the US to divorce itself from any further NATO bankrolling, and making OUR weapons ‘NATO-compatible’. Brussels wants an ‘EU Army’, they can pay for that, themselves.
“Used to be that Europeans were shooting Europeans with 9mm projectiles, until Johnny Yank showed up with his 1911 loosing .45 caliber slugs making Europeans deader than the 9mm (.355) ever did!”
“and she called for the outright abolition of the International Monetary Fund (IMF). “Wherever the IMF went, it asked for cuts in wages and pensions, higher taxes, privatisation of public utilities and caused an impoverishment of populations.”
I definitely go along with her argument about leaving the EU, but the IMF is not anywhere near the same thing. It’s not a body that holds countries to its whims. Countries can freely make their own decision as to whether they want to use the IMF. Nobody holds a gun to their heads.
‘Frexit’ - sounds like an acne medication. Anyway, I hope Le Pen succeeds in getting elected. The entire EU concept has turned into a menace to Western civilization at this point.
