Little Napoleon and The Burning Bush…
That Le Muppet has delusions of Napoleonic grandeur is a view hardly unique to this blog.
……
…
British Prime Minister Boris Johnson criticized the decision, after Chancellor Angela Merkel’s office did the same in Berlin. https://www.reuters.com/article/us-g7-summit-mercosur/britain-joins-germany-in-criticizing-macrons-mercosur-threat-
….
Wow!
Leave Bojo out of it for now.
…
…..
When even Le Muppet’s pro-crimmigrant comrade Mama Stasi Merkel disavows Le Muppet’s latest and most abrasive petulant hissy-fit, a single-handed veto of a major trading deal between the Brussels Empire and Latin America, methinks the Elysee Eejit may have bitten off more than he can chew.
I have nothing to say about the Mercosur pact, though who knows that I might some other day.
But I do have to contemplate changing Macron’s blog nick-name from Le Muppet to Le Meddler.

Again, the forest blazes in Brazil are a matter for another day, and more importantly a matter for Brazil!
The Euro-Commissars have the same rights I have to make observations in their personal capacities on any issue…
…
…
….but they have no more right than I have, to dictate how another nation’s problems should be tackled.
Threatening diplomatic or commercial sanctions against Brazil is plain proof of the EUSSR’s calculating and hypocritical double-standards.
If the EUSSR can get uptight about a bunch of bush-fires on another continent…
….
…
…then one has to wonder why no serious steps were ever taken in response to much more tragic burnings, in Tibet.
After all, the forests are in Brazil.
…
…
Tibet is under Red Chinese rule, but is a proud nation which should be afforded self-determination.
The ‘European Union’ isn’t interested in that.
Nor really in democracy at all. Commercial contracts with the Reds come first.
That brings us back to Le Meddler.

…
While Mama Stasi’s bad, she’s not stupid.
Bringing social mayhem to Germany by her multicult open-door policy was no foolish error but was done deliberately.
.
.
Bringing in South American produce, in contrast, is merely practical economics, daily business, which she sees no point in disrupting.
Like most of the European elite, she will bleat a bit about Brazil, and she doubtless detests President Bolsonaro…
…
Jair Bolsonaro
….because he represents traditional values, which elites abhor – but that’s as far as it goes.
Le Meddler, obsessed with his vision of himself as Master of Europe, driven by his inner flame of megalomanic wrath, has gone off the deep end.
I’m sure millions of French patriots share my sincere hope that he sinks.
Then France might get the leadership that France deserves…
….
…a pro-French President.

This was a very good read, Ross. I like your blog best when you lash all kinds of targets at one go and you certainly do that with this.
The Napoleonic complex is valid but you should also have taken note of Macron’s diminutive stature, another similarity.
Poor France, to have that ngry little man in charge.
I hope Le Pen wins next time. She is so much more impressive.

The last Algerian president had a stroke. He no longer could function as a rational man but he was permitted for many months to continue as president.
France has a problem. There is a man in the presidential palace who has become over-excited and even his allies see he has lost all judgement and proportion.
In Algeria, the army saw the need to respond to the outcry of the people.
Who will make the necessary move in France?

I am not French, despite my name, but I have been there many times and enjoyed both long and short stays in Paris and other cities, as recently as last spring.
Macron was not a popular figure but after the conservative candidate was knocked out of the presidential race by scandal, it was between Macron and Le Pen.
I have never seen such ferocious media hostility as there was against her. The nearest thing we have seen in Britain was Project Fear and that very nearly worked.
Now they have had plenty of time to dwell on their choice and the new voters, the young people, are very pro-Marine.
Macron will lose next time but how much damage can his egomania do before the next election?

He came into politics from international banking.
The banksters have always spawned subversion.
