The banker elite may yet regret installing Macron to keep Marine Le Pen out.
That bitch Marine would have done anything she was told to do. She’s a woman. We’ve yet to see a woman leader do anything other than what she was told. Look at Italy – that bitch ran on fighting immigration, and immigrant arrivals have now more than tripled under her watch, and all she does is yell about how evil Putin is and how we need more for the Ukraine.
Macron, conversely, is something of a wildcard.

France has requested an invitation to the BRICS summit scheduled for August in South Africa, Foreign Minister Catherine Colonna has announced. Should it be granted permission, France would be the first G7 country to attend a summit held by the bloc.
Colonna revealed that she had informed Pretoria of French President Emmanuel Macron’s “interest” in attending the conference as an observer.
“I informed my counterpart… of the president’s availability and interest in pursuing dialogue that France maintains with the BRICS,” Colonna said at a press conference in Pretoria on Tuesday after a meeting with her South African counterpart, Naledi Pandor, according to AFP.
The 15th summit of the BRICS group of large emerging economies – Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa – will be held in Johannesburg from August 22 to 24.
Macron’s relations with BRICS member Russia are particularly strained. The French president has accused Moscow of spreading anti-French propaganda in African countries, where Paris has lost influence in recent years.
Roflmao.
The French leader has also called for peace talks in Ukraine and has positioned himself as a potential mediator, despite continuing to send heavy weapons to Kiev and supporting a Ukrainian-drafted peace plan that Russia strongly opposes.
Colonna is quoted by French public broadcaster RFI as saying that Paris is “thinking out loud,” adding that “dialogue is always positive; even when you don’t agree 100% on everything, you have to talk to understand each other and to find solutions.”
In response, South African Foreign Minister Pandor believes France’s participation would be an “innovation within the current BRICS participation model” that would “amplify the global reach of the BRICS forum.”
It sounds like he’s trying to keep his options open.
The French have never appreciated the Americans, and haven’t really had any problem with the Russians. Napoleon tried to invade, but that wasn’t personal.
“Keeping the options open” is no doubt in line with the will of the French people.
But it would also be in line with the people of Germany, Spain, and anywhere else outside the Anglosphere.
For whatever reason, Macron is more independent.
Or maybe he’s just nuts.
