I sense that the West is once again in a season of Revolutions, just like in the late 1700s. So it looks like maybe, just maybe, France will be the first to fall to revolution, we hope, by the French people and they oust the savage invaders, led by Le Pen and the military. If that happens, it will give oxygen to other budding revolutions that are simmering in the world....maybe even right here in the US.
What military? You seriously can't be talking about the French military.
Because Europe has relied on NATO for their defence, they have seen no need to keep their own militaries functional. Most of Europe has not had a working military since the war - and if the US had not engaged the European theater when we did, the Europeans would have had their asses handed to them by the Nazis.
Modern Europe has no stomach for war because they picture themselves as too civilized. They have no problems allowing us yanks to fight their battles for them - especially the French. They are but a very dim shadow of their forefathers that repelled the invading Muslim hordes centuries ago. This time they welcomed the invaders. So, the idea that the French will have the balls required to round up and take out the trash does not seem likely - no matter who is president. The other problem is that the French people are disarmed while the invaders are armed with automatic weapons. These invaders already come from war torn places and have no aversion to spilling blood. Thank God Trump put the brakes on allowing the same hoards to come here more than we already have.
If Western Europe is to be saved, the people there are going to have to get bloody and lose their civilized sensibilities. I am not sure they can still dig deep and find their inner warrior. We shall see. I pray they still can and prove me wrong.
