Macron.
This dude has been having a terrible year. Earlier he proposed reforms in their retirement system that outraged citizens and now this.
Will he survive the mayhem?
Somehow I doubt it.
Have no doubt. Although many are painting this as a race war etc...the reality is that lack of assimilation, allowing enclaves and no go zone along with the recent economic issues all contributed to this.
The death of a motorist by police was only an excuse.
Sooner or later the REAL French military will be mobilized and detailed to put this down. Order will be restored within a week or two at the outside and then the French judicial system will begin hunting any and all they can identify down and will deal with them.
But back to Macron.
The govt will fall and more than likely a more right wing govt will take its place.
What becomes of Macron? The EU open border policy? The EU/French policy towards Ukraine?
For better or worse France will be laser focused on its internal affairs. The French are gonna turn inward hard.
But this thing is spreading. I saw reports that Brussels is also facing the same issue. This thing could spread all over Europe.
What happens if Europe turns inward? God forbid what if this thing heads to the US?
Ukraine better get it done fast. It's allies might be about to fall away.
Now for the conspiracy mode. Could Iran have been behind this? Could their agents in France pushed this thing? Lots of weapons on the streets that had to be smuggled into the country. Military grade weapons at that. If not Iran could a foreign country be attempting to destabilize first France and then the rest of the EU countries?
I'll leave you with this. The UK is spitting distance from France. Wonder if they're worried about spill over?
