I don’t know why the attack before this one didn’t do it. There was a time in their history when the French knew what to do when they were told to “eat cake”. Now they don’t know what to do when their government is enabling invaders who are blowing them up.
This is why Euros are so passive, and why it's practically inconceivable to understand why they don't fight back.
If you were a political leader who understood history and was completely aware of the situation, then why wouldn't you go for the brass ring? That is, a lot of money is being made facilitating immigration - real estate (housing) for one. If you knew there was no risk of push-back from the people, then why not maximize your take?
That is what is occurring - it's simply one group of people in politics/finance/industry at war with their citizens ... and the citizens are pushovers. And the new muslim citizens are no threat either - the MENA was/has been run by dictators for centuries. They are very very easy to manage & control.
So it's win-win for the elite. Once you understand what's occurring, you can either play the game yourself to make some coin, be depressed, or risk opposing the state.
There is only one answer to your question. And it applies to all western countries. They have been taken over by marxists/alinskyites. The objective is to destroy any government that stands for, and defends, freedom and individual rights. Why, you ask. Because the totalitarian system rewards those elites who run the show. And we have in place in the USA a large group of elites. It is growing. Look at the population of DC and the economic boom going on
