Ohio Gov. John Kasich (R) on Monday seconded French President Emmanuel Macron's sentiments against nationalism, tweeting, "Macron is right" on what he said on the 100th anniversary of the end of World War I.
Macron heavily criticized "nationalism" in an apparent jab at President Trump during his Armistice Day remarks in Paris on Sunday.

And he constantly reminds us with his diarrhea mouth
big surprise, Kasich and Flake and Jeb! and the rest should all move to France.
Kasich is a nobody trying to find his niche.
The tighter the EU draws together, the closer it will get to war.
Mr Kasich drinks deeper from global kool aid every day.
Dirtboy is right....nail on head
The glory part was to get folks to enlist but it didn’t cause the war
Treaties and colonial clashes and Empires friction sparked by a Serbian murder of Austria’s Crown Prince and his wife for reasons never completely understood to be honest....free Serbs from Austrian or Ottoman rule?
Anyhow....what really cause WWI was slow communication and travel for dilplomats
Today rushed meetings would likely have averted that craziness
And Europe was no question more accustomed to war
Britain, France, Germany, Russia, Turkey (Ottoman) were all empires. Whole lotta imperializin' goin' on in pre-WWI Europe, but minding one's own nation... not so much.
Kasuck; spoken like a true Benedict Arnold acolyte. A true rat.
I suppose there's not much point in France being nationalistic these days as it's predicted to be majority Muslim in less than 40 years.
If the French aren’t “French” anymore, what are they? EUs?
Shut up wamker.
Kasick is a stupid as Macron.
Plus Germany used the spreading conflict as an excuse to invade France. The German Schliffen Plan had been in place for almost a decade before it was executed in August 1914.
John Kasich is the ultimate illustration of DOOFUS!
If you’re a Rino, you must be a globalist
If you’re a democrat, you must be globalist
If you disagree with President Trump’s America first agenda, you must be a globalist
If you’re anti second amendment, you must be a globalist
If you want no borders, you must be a globalist
If you’re a snowflake millennial, you must be a globalist
If you’re anti Christian, you must be a globalist
If you are John Kasich, you are a globalist
So sick of Kasich’s ‘holier than thou’ faux persona. He and Flake should just go away.

nationalism
[nash-uh-nl-iz-uh m, nash-nuh-liz-]
noun
1. spirit or aspirations common to the whole of a nation.
2. devotion and loyalty to one's own country; patriotism.
3. excessive patriotism; chauvinism.
4. the desire for national advancement or political independence.
5. the policy or doctrine of asserting the interests of one's own nation viewed as separate from the interests of other nations or the common interests of all nations.
6. an idiom or trait peculiar to a nation.
7. a movement, as in the arts, based upon the folk idioms, history, aspirations, etc., of a nation.
Origin of nationalism First recorded in 1830–40; national + -ism
It was the result of nationalism, or a sort of it.
It would not have happened had there been no German empire. This was created as a result of a pan-German romantic ideal based on ethnic identity, which had not previously existed. Before then people owed loyalty to a ruler, on of the dozens of small principalities that made up Germany, and their own particular sort of German, a “little” nationalism not a great one. If it all had remained that way there would have been no Great War.
This applied to the other participants too. France had run a century or more of patriotic propaganda and language standardization to truly create France. Russia was drawn to the war at least partly as a result of its own public opinion, at the time besotted by pan-slavism. Italy was still half mad with the absurdity of irredentism.
Etc. The rule is little nationalisms=little wars. Great nationalisms=great wars.
But Kasich is wrong.
