Dear ACC friends,
As most know I always make the distinction between a nation's elites and a nation's people...I do apply the biblical perceptions, that such distinctions are akin to "clay" and "iron." The clay being humanity (the people) and the iron, being Roman law (the state,) the inflexible rules of the state...of an empire. The rod of iron, of Rome.
So I will suggest that I take sides where France is concerned. I side with the people of France and that great nation, born of Gaul. My contentions are centred upon France's elites, including the administration of President Macron.
French culture, the people, the fine cheeses; camembert, brie and St Agur are absolutely unique to France...I admire the quality. I have no issue with France itself, nor her cultured people.
So those educated people of France, with a long culture and tradition, must be very concerned that their President, seems to be edging towards giving away France's permanent seat on the UN security council, one of the "big five" nations; Russia, America, Great Britain, France & China. This security council status has been in place since the UN was founded, back in the late 1940s..Each of these nations on the council, who can veto decisions of other members, as well as the non-permanent members (who are rotated,) and make up the sum parts of the UNSC.
There are rumours, in circulation, that Macron seeks more than just an EU army. He seeks to relinquish France's special status, within the UNSC and hand it, instead, to Brussels...The European Union. A very interesting proposal, which has as many holes in it, as Swiss cheese..Especially when one considers that the EU is neither a nation, nor is it sovereign...As per the definitions provided UN members..Five sovereign states, are supposed to comprise membership of said council....
If this absurd suggestion even slightly gained traction I'm sure the good people of France will take it as another signal, to protest..in their particularly patriotic manner of doing so...
"Vive la République...!!"

Would Macron really give up France's UN Security Council Seat?! - YouTube

I did noticed such kind of 'conflicts of interests' in such seemingly benevolent persuits (which you seem to call it 'wokery' lol!). Someone is running a charity system, an orphanage etc. You are forgiven if you think that he is a good person! Actually he is racking in billions of money from uncritical donners and lieing about how he uses the money!
For example, forcing the people to replace their gas boilers and cars with very expensive alternatives. Short of viable alternatives, changes should not be rammed into place by draconian policies. Recently, we have seen many shortcomings with solar panels and wind turbines, failing to deliver...
You are an intelligent woman, no doubt and I will personally place you in the realist camp. In no way are you a fanatic, maybe more unicorn... 🦄😀Your ideals are probably a form of classical liberalism, based on personal perceptions and there is absolutely nothing wrong with that. I share many values with classical liberals and note how the left in general have been hijacked, especially since 2016....Now the left has established a pro-corporatism, mainly because many institutions have become influenced, or controlled, by such people: Those who feel entitled to over-rule the public, even if unelected. The woke. These idealists are fanatics and are being used by the elites, globally. They are authoritarians. They also have no compassion for people in general. We see these unelected types in the EU Commission, or the UK's House of Lords, or the UN, WHO, etc...They feel entitled to dictate direction and if unpopular, that is just too bad, as they know best....😒
This is the difference between a classical liberal and an outright communist.
See these fanatics at work disrupting UK motorists. They are bullies and not in any way liberal.....It is piracy on the highway. 🏴☠️ They seem to hate a functioning society...They want to punish motorists, in this example...They could protest outside Parliament, but instead deliberately target motorists conducting commerce, or private travel...Ordinary people living their lives. They have even delayed an ambulance...🚑

More the well meaning tree hugger type who never would have guessed that innocent idealism would get hijacked by Eurocrats with questionable agendas.
But since I’ve seen it, it cannot be unseen.
Yes, Russia will always beat the EU, as they are self-confident realists and not subject to starry eyed idealism, as they once were, under communism...Albeit, then, Russia controlled much of eastern Europe..
Russia also possesses vast amounts of natural resources, that many EU nations require...Energy being the main factor.
The Russian Federation is very different to the old Soviet Union and certainly far more logical, more pragmatic. Moreover, not ruffled by the false accusations levelled. If Brussels ever think that an "EU army" can take on the Russians I hope they remove that error from their thinking, immediately...It would be a bloodbath for the EU and let's hope those foolish PESCO enthusiasts leave NATO, before they try that one...😆
I'm sure Poland and Hungary can also learn to view EU accusations as falsehoods, based upon federalist idealism and propaganda only, without facts to back...
We in the UK have also learned these lessons...lol😆
I already read about Brussels wanting to sanction Poland for preferring national sovereignty over EU submission.
On the other hand there are many Poles living in western countries who can expect the sympathy and support of their EU skeptical friends 🥳

Master Rakoczi is working with his disciples in those countries, to forge such a breakaway group...Some of them are upon the 3rd ray, like myself, others upon the 7th ray, like himself...Albeit, he builds upon the historical Congress of Visegrád, 1335, which was not established during his tenure, as predating his role, as Regent of Europe, by centuries...Yet empowered anew it is.....It took trade and influence away from the central powers of the 14th century and will again. Let us all bless the success...🙏
See the UK/NZ vid below:
"Von der Leyen depressed! The UK just took £2.3 billion from the EU when it won the deal with New Zealand.
International Trade Secretary Anne-Marie Trevelyan said BRITAIN had finally completed a trade deal worth more than £2.3 billion a year. Previously, New Zealand had intended to cooperate with Brussels, but the EU was knocked out by the UK.
The Minister held talks with her New Zealand counterpart, a bilateral trade agreement was signed with a value of £2.3 billion.
Taking over from Liz Truss in the trading meeting following Boris Johnson's Cabinet reshuffle in September, Ms Trevelyan sought to continue the work of her predecessor and unleash the full power of the UK after the Brexit victory.
After talks this morning, the Commerce Minister said the two sides had reached an agreement." end quote.

Frankly, our east European friends suffered under Soviet communism for decades and don't want a repeat historical performance, under the revised banner of Euro-federalism...Lest it be the misfortune of escaping the frying pan, but into the fire...
And just as in the 16th century, Britain having freed herself, through divorce, now watches the decline of continental Europe, especially the French, from the vaster perspectives of global trade routes, seas and oceans....and growing friendships, beyond Europe.....
Ahhh...!! It's like old times and previous lives...😄
This isn't the first time EU is accused of 'interfering with internal affairs of a country'. It is only the first time such a country is a member of EU itself.
