The French Are Toast
[Townhall] France is beginning its death spiral — and the events are its own doing.

Did you ever have a teammate who you couldn’t stand? You know, the center fielder with the mirrored sunglasses. Or the basketball player who never gave you the right time of day or a pass for an open layup? On the one hand, you got an internal giggle when they struck out or were violently fouled. Couldn’t happen to a nicer jerk. On the other hand, at some point, you might have realized that their problem is your problem. Their failures and injuries make your being able to win that much harder.

Watching the destruction in France, I would like to smile and rejoice. The First Clown, Macron, rushed to recognize "Palestine" and has not missed a single opportunity to attack Israel for preserving the security of its citizens. He has been a complete jerk, but he was not the first complete jerk. French presidents have made it their business to hate Israel, and one must remember that Israel first attacked the Iraqi reactor in a French port before it was shipped to Saddam’s scientists. The daring bombing raid into Iraq was necessitated when the French insisted on sending and helping to build Saddam’s nuclear facility. In fairness, a long time ago, the French helped Israel with its reactor and military needs. Put a Kfir and Mirage jet on top of each other, and they are very similar. Still, for the past 25 years, France has been a pro-Palestinian, anti-Israel European piece of garbage. Its ambassador to the UK, Daniel Bernard, described Israel as "that sh**ty little country."

So watching "les jeunes" ("the youth") tear the country apart is something that goes well with a croissant and fromage. On the other hand, one might begin to ask some very unpleasant questions. Do you want a Lebanon-style civil war for a decade? Do you expect the Muslims to win and thus control France’s 290 nuclear warheads? What about the Jews — the nearly half a million who live in France today? France going down the toilet might make one briefly smile, but it would also mean great danger for Jews, Europe and the US. There is no question that French leaders brought their troubles upon themselves. For decades, they have been importing Muslims from their former colonies, and many of the new immigrants come poor and remain poor. For years, the press and officials have tried to hide the problems while blaming "youth" for burning cars and social unrest. Jews murdered for being Jews were ignored. Soccer victories or losses led to the same level of destruction and looting. The Republic did its best to hide its Islam problem. Now it has exploded, and every violent scene seems to have numerous Palestinian flags waving in the background. # id) ?>

Having family buried in France due to previous bail outs. The US taxpayers help rebuild it. Then only to have the French quickly slap and kick the US afterward.

Enough is enough the French can kiss off.

4 I take no rejoice. It's like watching that ride or die friend from high school hook up with some butch bitch and getting steadily abused until turned into a self loathing alcoholic whose wife starts bringing her also abusing boyfriend over to raid the fridge and use the shitter, ultimated knocking boots in his bed while he watches late night pithy comedies while calling you up and telling you how much of an ass you are because your good times of past make the current times unbearable.

5 Could you see a French destroyer firing on and sinking a boat with migrants? Could you imagine an air armada to rival the Berlin Airlift in order to move hundreds of thousands of illegal entrants back to Africa and points beyond? Can you think of a shoot-to-kill order for anyone involved in public violence or disorder?

Actually, I can. Not with Macron in charge but I wonder how much longer he can keep his grip. If the Holocaust could happen in Germany then something similar could also happen in any European country. The shame is that they let it get to that point. But then, they could lose. I mean, when was the last time the French won a war?

6 I'm so old I remember when Beirut was the Paris of the Middle East before Paris became the Beirut of Europe.

7 Probably just need a corvette, but a destroyer would be fine.

Anyone detained during the, gag, school riots, goes straight to the Air Bus and cuffed into the easy to spray clean vinyl seats and when full, off they go to Mali or where ever. 'But Im French!' she yelled. Not anymore chucklefuck, now you are tres Mali.
