🚨*Shots Fired by Macron!*🚨

Following the stunning, but unwanted Trump victory, President Macron outlines his future vision for the #EU & #Europe

He acknowledges that Europe can no longer rely on America for its military security & economic stability, & that the EU needs to stand on its own 2 feet & see #America & #China as rivals

North Koreans are fighting #Europeans in Europe, for a Trump backed #Russian dictator

@AnthonyFStevens Macron often says things I want to hear.

Somehow though I don't remember actually doing these...

That's the issue with the #EU, it has 27 member states who all have to agree, & this includes the pro-Putin Viktor Orban of Hungary.

European politics is complex, but I sense European leaders' patience with Orban is wearing very thin.

@AnthonyFStevens Well, it does not seems to me. Instead of isolating him they bribed him for ages. I don't like that.

Back to Macron - I think he could have done much more on national level or at least rhetorically push the other states to actually do something. But that never happened.

As I said previously, #Macron is merely one voice out of many competing interests in the #EU. The situation #Europe now faces will test the #European experiment like never before. It's at times like these that real leaders emerge & take centre stage.

They say necessity is the mother of invention. I believe the threat to Europe's security & economic stability will force the EU into action like never before. IF it doesn't, even the staunchest pro-EU advocate will question its purpose.
