France has suffered 50 years of suicide by socialist nihilism.  More recently, 20 years of suicide by Islam. Now, the French are thinking about what is good for France just as the British are thinking now of what's good for Britain. So too are the Americans.  EU and UN leaders don't give a damn about the people who are obligated to provide for everybody else. The French people have been ordered to give  ransoms  of money,  to write off  parts of their heritage, to  disdain parts of their identity, to displace  the essence of their culture to appease outsiders. France and all of Europe are facing an existentialist crisis not unlike they did in 1940: the current direction will end their civilization.
