That doesn’t mean the person who replaces Macron gets France out from under Germany’s thumb. And the yellow vests are not about Germany’s dominance at all; none of them have mentioned that.

And again, thanks for your opinion with respect to something that Germany has done twice in the past to the world’s detriment. In both of those cases, it took a certain kind of leadership to show it off to the world, and there is no way that the current second-largest arms exporter on the planet would be incapable of it. Not to mention, our enemies have been working on aircraft-carrier-destroying technology.

Y Germany was successfully neutered and, while some may talk big, they’re useless as a screen door on a submarine.ou have shown your ignorance of the French people quite clearly. You choose to ignore circumstances which existed in each case of German aggression which do not exist now. I am a student of history and that does not mean I just skim the surface of actions and reactions, but that I have in-depth knowledge of the “before” and “after” of what I study. You obviously have small regard for the French and an incongruous attitude with regard to the Germans. The German of today is far removed from the Prussians of yesteryear and indeed resembles in no regard the Wehrmacht of the last war. There WILL BE carriers regardless of the technology you tout so highly. We, the USA have more carriers than the rest of the world combined and most importantly, we have real sailors to man them and a real strength in Air Force, Navy, and Marine Pilots. REALITY is that we outgun the rest of the world and need have no fear of the strawman threats you seem to give so much credence to.
Your dismissal of the yellow vests shows your shortsighted appreciation of the underlying causes, which are MULTIPLE, that promulgate the unrest which is spreading across borders in Europe and has also gained a foothold in the British Isles.
A “certain kind of leadership” goes nowhere without the proper economic conditions to feed and sustain it. That should be considered FIRST. A content people do not make war.
