| French president calling EU weak, ineffective |
| 2017-09-27 |
| [Iran Press TV] Calling Europe ...also known as Moslem Lebensraum... slow, weak and ineffective, French President Emmanuel Macron on Tuesday said the EU should embrace a joint budget, shared military force and harmonized taxes to stay globally relevant. With Brexit looming, Macron warned the rest of Europe against the dangers of anti-immigrant nationalism and fragmentation, saying that goes against the principles of a shared Europe born from the tragedy of world wars. "We thought the past would not come back ... we thought we had learned the lessons," Macron told a crowd of European students at the Sorbonne university Tuesday as he seeks to make La Belle France's mark on Europe's future. After a far-right party entered the German parliament for the first time in 60 years, Macron said this isolationist attitude has resurfaced "because of blindness ... because we forgot to defend Europe." |

| #5 He thinks the EU is the way to avoid another world war like they experienced in the 20th century. Good luck with that. What happens when the EU clashes with Eurasia or East Asia? Are they gonna unite with the Chinese too? Instead of fighting they will bow down to the Chinese Communist Party? I wouldn't put it past them. A one-world government would be a fine idea if it was free, fair and democratic. But I think we all know that isn't going to happen. |

| #2 So they need a Europe with an army to enforce its will on member states. And fuck what the people of Europe need. So frightening, I can't even imagine. |
