In his speech at this Sunday’s official ceremony “marking a hundred years since the U.S. (and England — ed.)<\/em> saved France from Germany and ended World War I, French President Emmnauel Macron took a direct swipe at President Donald Trump and his voters,” reports Caroline Glick at Breitbart News ( https:\/\/www.breitbart.com\/middle-east\/2018\/11\/12\/caroline-glick-why-is-emmanuel-macron-attacking-trump\/<\/a> .) Macron said that the \u201cancient demons\u201d that caused World War I and millions of deaths are growing stronger.<\/p>\n

\u201cPatriotism is the exact opposite of nationalism. Nationalism is the betrayal of patriotism,\u201d Macron pronounced, as Trump and other world leaders looked on.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

(Only if “the nation” and “the fatherland” — from the Latin “patria”<\/em> — are “exact opposites,” Emmanuel. But maybe French dictionaries have changed since last I studied them.)<\/p>\n

He added, \u201cIn saying \u2018Our interests first, whatever happens to the others,\u2019 you erase the most precious thing a nation can have, that which makes it live, that which causes it to be great and that which is most important: Its moral values.\u201d<\/p>\n

(Ah. Spoken as a true globalist, Emmanuel. So we’re morally obliged<\/strong> to go bail out the Froggies every time they get their sensitive little butts whupped by the Krauts and promptly surrender — at a cost of tens or even hundreds of thousands of American (and British, and Canadian) lives? To station troops in Europe to defend them for 70 years, largely without payment, even as they insult us at every opportunity? Never to revise vastly unequal tariff barriers that let them drain us like the sacrifice at a bloodsuckers’ feast? Even when they inexplicably open their borders to masses of violent, aggressive Muslims with no desire to assimilate and become Europeans, who instead forthrightly announce their goal is to expand the “Caliphate” as far as rocky Brittany and the far-flung Orkney Islands? This is how you thank our President and First Lady for taking the long trip to chilly France? Interesting.)<\/p>\n

Furthermore, Macron\u2019s speech on Sunday was his second rhetorical assault against America in under a week, Ms. Glick reports. In a radio interview last Tuesday, Macron called for Europe to raise \u201ca true European army,\u201d to defend against the U.S., Russia and China.<\/p>\n

In Macron\u2019s words, \u201cWe have to protect ourselves with respect to China, Russia and even the United States of America.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Wow. A single, pan-European army, manning battlements on every European border from the frozen wastes of Lapland, to the rocky northwest coasts of France, to Sicily and the boot of Italy in the south, and in the East to the Black Sea and the banks of the Dnieper?<\/p>\n

What an idea! And surely such an army would have to be led by the best generals available, not the pathetic commanders of a nation that abjectly surrendered in 1870 and 1940, or squandered an entire generation by ordering them to charge into enemy machine guns over and over and over from 1914 to 1917.<\/p>\n

No, the French<\/em> would hardly be in command — any more than the current European Union is run by and for the benefit of French<\/em> bankers. <\/p>\n

What on earth do you suppose such a pan-European army would be called?<\/p>\n

I know: . . . <\/p>\n

. . . The “Wehrmacht.”<\/em><\/p>\n
