The rise of far-right and far-left parties across Europe is directly related to calls for “more Europe”.
Yet, French president Emmanuel Macron makes a Radical Appeal for a More Powerful EU.
Bold Actions
Macron seeks “bold” actions. He wants an EU “military intervention force”, a common budget, carbon taxes, national conventions to discuss the future of Europe, trade prosecutors to enforce countries to stick with the rules, and a Franco-German cooperation treaty,
Mercy!
I cannot think of a more destabilizing thing than a common military force that will undoubtedly be used to wage wars. Ukraine comes to mind.
Macron proposes taxing US tech companies by value created, rather than profits. Now how the hell is that supposed to work? Who gets to decide “value created”.
Franco-German Cooperation Treaty
Really?! And not include the rest of the EU?
