“Together,” President Macron instructed President Trump, “we can resist the rise of aggressive nationalisms that deny our history and divide the world.”<\/p>\n
Before Congress he denounced “extreme nationalism,” invoked the U.N., NATO, WTO, and Paris climate accord, and implored Trump’s America to come home to the New World Order.<\/p>\n
“The United States is the one who invented this multilateralism,” Macron went on, “you are the one now who has to help preserve and reinvent it.”<\/p>\n
His visit was hailed and his views cheered, but, on reflection, the ideas of Emmanuel Macron seem to be less about tomorrow than yesterday.<\/p>\n
For the world he celebrates is receding into history.<\/p>\n
The America of 2018 is coming to see NATO as having evolved into an endless U.S. commitment to go to war with Russia on behalf of a rich Europe that resolutely refuses to provide for its own defense.<\/p>\n
Since the WTO was created in the mid-’90s, the U.S. has run $12 trillion in trade deficits; and among the biggest beneficiaries \u00e2\u20ac\u201d the EU.<\/p>\n
Have something to say about this column? Under the Paris climate accord, environmental restrictions are put upon the United States from which China is exempt.<\/p>\n As for the U.N., is that sinkhole of anti-Americanism, the General Assembly, really worth the scores of billions we have plunged into it?<\/p>\n “Aggressive nationalism” is a term that might well fit Napoleon Bonaparte whose Arc de Triomphe sits on the Champs-Elysees. But does it really fit the Hungarians, Poles, Brits, Scots, Catalans and other indigenous peoples of Europe who are now using democratic methods and means to preserve a national home for the unique peoples to whom they belong?<\/p>\n And the United States would seem an odd place to go about venting on “aggressive nationalisms that deny our history.”<\/p>\n Did Macron not learn at the Lycee Henri IV in Paris or the Ecole Nationale d’Administration how the Americans acquired all that land?<\/p>\n General Washington, at whose Mount Vernon home Macron dined, was a nationalist who fought for six years to sever America’s ties to the nation under which he was born.<\/p>\n How does Macron think Andrew Jackson acquired Florida from Spain, Sam Houston acquired Texas from Mexico, and Winfield Scott and Zachary Taylor acquired the Southwest? By bartering?<\/p>\n Aggressive nationalism is a good synonym for the Manifest Destiny of a republic that went about relieving Spain of Cuba, Puerto Rico, Guam and the Philippines.<\/p>\n How does Macron think the “New World” was conquered and colonized if not by aggressive British, French and Spanish nationalists determined to impose their rule upon weaker indigenous tribes?<\/p>\n Was it not nationalism that broke up the USSR into 15 nations?<\/p>\n Was not the Zionist movement that resurrected Israel in 1948, and, in 1967, captured the West Bank, and then annexed East Jerusalem and the Golan Heights, a manifestation of aggressive nationalism?<\/p>\n Macron is an echo of that George H.W. Bush who, in Kiev in 1991, warned Ukrainians against the “suicidal nationalism” of declaring independence from the Russian Federation.<\/p>\n “Aggressive nationalisms … divide the world,” warns Macron.<\/p>\n Well, yes, they do, which is why we have now 194 members of the U.N., rather than the original 50. Is this a problem?<\/p>\n “Together,” said Macron, “we will build a new, strong multilateralism that defends pluralism and democracy in the face of ill winds.”<\/p>\n Macron belongs to a political class that sees open borders and free trade thickening and tightening the ties of dependency, and eventually creating a One Europe, whose destiny his crowd will forever control.<\/p>\n But if his idea of pluralism is multiracial, multiethnic, multicultural nations, with a multilateral EU overlord, he is describing a future that tens millions of Europeans believe means the death of the nations that give meaning to their lives.<\/p>\n And they will not go gentle into that good night.<\/p>\n In America, too, millions have come to recognize that there is a method to the seeming madness of open borders. Name of the game: dispossessing the deplorables of the country they love.<\/p>\n With open borders and mass migration of over a million people a year into the USA, almost all of them peoples of color from Third World countries who vote 70-90 percent Democratic, the left is foreclosing the future. The left is converting the greatest country of the West into what Teddy Roosevelt called a “polyglot boarding house for the world.” And in that boarding house the left will have a lock on the presidency.<\/p>\n With the collaboration of co-conspirators in the media, progressives throw a cloak of altruism over the cynical seizure of permanent power.<\/p>\n For, as the millions of immigrants, here legally and illegally, register, and the vote is extended to prison inmates, ex-cons and 16-year-olds, the political complexion of America will come to resemble San Francisco.<\/p>\n End goal: Ensure that what happened in 2016, when the nation rose up and threw out a despised establishment, never happens again.<\/p>\n Do You Appreciate Reading Our Emails and Website?
