Macron has this in mind.
"..The Finance Ministers adversarial position comes after French President Emmanuel Macron said last week that the EU needs its own army to protect itself from China, Russia and even the United States of America.
Macron has joined the ranks of Eurocrats Guy Vehofstadt MEP and European Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker in calling for deeper EU integration which could eventually lead to a United States of Europe."
But that's not nationalism is it? It's pie-in-the-sky, that's what it is. Macron will be defeated by LaPen in the next election in May 2019 and he and his best buddies are looking for a home after. Let's create some multinational organization which will pay a good salary and keep us in the limelight, shall we Mr Macaroni?
His wife confirms he has Napoleon’s characteristics:
Nothing like the French marking the end of a war caused by competition for empire by calling for a return to empire.
