To: markomalley

“Terror” is brilliant. It gives something for stupid people and stupider pols to fixate on while millions of ‘moderate’ muslims invade and have 6-7 kids per family.

Well at least the Frenchy is doing everything possible. I mean, he did meet with John Kerry, who by the way served in Vietnam. /.s

That’s a stupid thing to say.

I don’t think the EU will be around much longer.

French president Francois Hollande recently met with U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry, who insisted that ISIS is losing territory .........and he also believes in Glowbull Warming...............

Funny statement from a Dutchman,since they haven’t even managed to fight anybody for about the last 300 years.

“French officials have opted to rely on the European Union, rather than Article 5 under the North Atlantic Treaty Organization”
Because they know that Obama is not going to be any help.

I don’t think this is accurate. As I recall, we were the first, post 9/11.
To: markomalley
I’d wager that the shorts of the other EU member ministers are full of bricks over this.

We’re not EU, we invoked NATO.
To: markomalley
France is also a member of NATO.
If France invokes the NATO mutual defense obligations then Obama will be forced to send a very sternly worded letter to ISIS.

My recollection is that the EU mutual defense treaty has much stronger provisions for police support than the NATO one does. That’ll make a difference in going after what is a significant internal threat.
To: Bubba_Leroy
I also read that France is also a member of NATO.

If France is expecting help from the EU against the Muslim invaders, it is doomed.
Everything west of the old Iron Curtain will soon enough be Muslim with the possible exceptions of Portugal, Spain, and Ireland and they'll be busy enough trying to repel their own neighboring Muslim hordes.

Well, France can count on Merkel. NOT.
And Obama. NOT.
Sigh.

???? The EU is the cause of letting this refugee redistribution going in the first place! The EU wants to ban semiauto guns in Finland instead of raising a militia clause! The EU is the enemy of France and nation state!

Notice France didn’t invoke NATO or run to Obama. Notice also that no one is suprised he didn’t.
To: cripplecreek
At least not until they get another El acid or Charles Martel...heck, I think they’ll be happy to see Vlad the Impaler if this goes on much longer.
