If that’s the plan in France, then it’s more dumb than a land war in China.
We are great at three things, food, nuclear power and ultra-violent revolutions.

I’m not saying it’s impossible that it is what they are trying, the powers behind Macron have been footmouthing since his first election and are clearly immensely rich but stupid as fuck.
