Victor Davis Hanson told Breitbart News Editor-in-Chief Alex Marlow on Mondays edition of SiriusXMs Breitbart News Daily that French President Emmanuel Macrons proposal for a European Union army is absurd, noting Frances failure to meet its financial commitments to NATO.
Hanson reflected on Macrons Sunday remarks at the centennial commemoration of World War Is armistice in Paris, France, where the French leader said, Patriotism is the exact opposite of nationalism: Nationalism is treason.
Hanson said, I was kind of shocked, because here the host was taking the occasion to pose as Europes next leader by basically attacking not only Eastern European leaders, but Trump with his nationalist point, and then framing a hyper-fascist nationalist like Petain, who not only, you could argue about his behavior in World War I, good and bad, but he was the leader of French fascist nationalism in World War II, and yet Macron, historically illiterate, starts to praise him while hes attacking Trump.

Nationalism and Pariotism are two sides of the same coin.
We’re not talking about extremist nationalism. We’re talking about a love of one’s nation. That’s it.
If you’re a healthy nationalist, you’re a patriot.
If you wish your nation to do well, be a prominent nation and influence others for the positive, you’re just a normal person who loves their nation. You’re a nationalist.
If you’re a patriot, you’re the same thing.
Hitler was an extreme nationalist, a supremacist. That isn’t the same as a reasoned nationalist.
Trump talks up the United States. He says that he won’t allow it to participate in bad deals. Folks, what the heck is wrong with that? Of course, NOTHING!
You can advocate for your own nation, and still sign deals that are good for two or more nations. Deals that Trump is signing aren’t bad for other nations. He’s just trying to level the playing field so they aren’t bad for us.
The Left will destroy any good thing in an effort to destroy their enemy. Since the Left is evil, the only thing it can to do make itself popular, is destroy good.
If good doesn’t exist, then evil prevails.
That’s it in a nutshell.
I think Trump also knew that the media would claim that he really meant "white nationalist." And lo and behold, they took the bait. A few of them said he was admitting he was a Nazi, but they didn't want to offend other socialists.
AND we'd be speaking German - - those of us not murdered by the Nazis... Thank God for Nationalism... it saved us and it saved Europe from German death...
Yeah, the Leftists are projecting worse today than every before.
