PARIS (AP) — French President Emmanuel Macron warned Thursday that Europe could “die” if it fails to build its own robust defense as Russia’s war in Ukraine rages on, or if it fails to undertake major trade and economic reforms to compete with China and the U.S. . . .
“Our Europe today is mortal,” Macron said. “It can die and that depends solely on our choices,” he added. He called on people to make those choices now because, “it’s today that Europe is between war and peace.”

He might want to ask Napoleon how that worked out for him.

Macron doesn’t have his own little tadpoles so why should he care if he sacrifices French children on the bloody alter of globohomo?

Macron is looking in the wrong direction. Europe will not fall to Russia or economics. Their immediate and mortal threat is to be taken over by Islam. Their (and our) idiotic migrant invasion will be the cause of their (and our) demise.

Good. I hope they do get their immigration problems under control and build up their military to rely less on the US rather than just talk about it. The former is a much more existential threat but fixing both are positives.

Hey, Macron, when you bring back Louis XIV, we can talk. France has no real military capacity, period. A few years ago when they wanted to play tough guy in Africa, they had to have the USAF provide airlift, because France had no cargo planes.

It only took them some odd 60 years. Turn around is immediate if you follow 1776.

This not Macron bidding for some “globalist” power. He is playing for the French “nationalist” votes that often go to Le Pen supporters.

Given that French identity has been smothered under “diversity,” ripped apart by unassimilated migration, and punished by officialdom for decades, is it even possible to harness French nationalism at this point????

Absolutely. French citizens will vote on June 9 to elect 81 members of the European Parliament. The outcome will affect national politics.

Manuel, you’re 20 years too late. There’s no way you’re going to get rid of millions of Muzzies. Europe is toast.
