About half of the French would support the army if it decided to restore order in the country.

83

The European press discusses appeals sent by retired and some active military personnel to French President Emmanuel Macron. We are talking about appeals in which the French military talk about a possible civil war in France, about the actual loss by the country's authorities of control over the situation, which is alarming. It is noted that for the first time in many years, the French police are forced to turn to the military to restore order in certain areas of the country's large cities, where even armed law enforcement officers are afraid to enter. It is noted that crime flourishes in such areas, extremist sentiments and the corresponding ideology are cultivated.

The German and Polish press, commenting on the political situation in France, note that the military "want to take on a decisive role in the processes of governing the country."



Polish columnist Wojciech Holonka writes the following:

The French are breaking with the 1968 revolution. Already 58 percent of French citizens support the military's appeal to the president. And almost half (about 49%), according to polls in France, would support the army if it decided to take measures to restore order in the country.

These data are in line with the results of a public opinion poll in France.

Against this background, ex-presidential adviser (2007-2012) Nicolas Sarkozy, Patrick Busson, spoke, who noted that France had come to the end of the cycle of the 1968 revolution, the motto of which was the rejection of traditions and authorities.

It is noted that many military personnel openly supported their retired colleagues, who call on the civilian authorities to restore order in the country. This suggests that Emmanuel Macron will have to listen to both the letter and what ordinary French think about it.

    It looks like a serious batch against Macroshi is being started ...
    Maybe, along the way, and reach a civil war. (It is unlikely that for this there should be some kind of support territory for the rebels with the support of the population)

      All this is nonsense! Gundosyat, gundosyat, but as elections, they choose all sorts of Sarkozy, yes Zalyaruzi from the Rockefellar-Rothschild clans, and not the same Le Pen, for example! And this general was paid by someone from a competing group, Macron and his roof, the same Sarkozy, that's the whole story. Today's global capitalism and democracy, like the rule of the people, are absolutely not overlapping things anywhere. Under capitalism, the people do not decide anything, but are cattle for creating surplus value!

        Nobody takes this France seriously anymore. Like Hindus, they have seven Fridays a week.
        Remember the leapfrog with the Mistrals. They promised for a year that they would sell it to Russia, despite any rumors about the refusal. Then they suddenly changed their minds.
        Whether it is the Germans. We made a 95% tank training ground for Russia, then all this harassment of Russia began, and, despite any punitive damages, they said: "It's a pity, but we can't build further."
        And the French are always stirring up something. And they change. They themselves do not know what they will come up with tomorrow. Who in general came up with such polls? Surely either the French themselves, or the British (to destabilize their eternal "friends")

      The army has authority. Not only in France. One gets the impression that the officer corps (all over the world) remains the most morally honest and responsible in comparison with the political "elite" of the world. So they are trying to stop a possible war and the degradation of the world .. They understand that they are responsible for the life and security of the peoples of their states.

        In the Crimea, the main role was played by the British, and the French were present. And at the same time, say, in Britain, the result of that war was not considered a victory.
        In the First World War, they were first rescued by the Russians, organizing an ill-prepared offensive in East Prussia, for which they paid dearly, but diverted the German troops to themselves. Then the British held the western front, and the Americans finally finished off the Germans.

There was not a single enemy soldier on the territory of Germany, the war ended with a successful German offensive with a breakthrough of the front, but since it was the first and not the second world war, there were no motorized units yet and the French managed to organize a new line of defense in front of the advancing Germans, on this the Germans fizzled out.

And when the collapse occurred, the people found the simplest explanation - supposedly betrayal. it never ends well, especially in case of defeat.

              Let me remind you that Germany surrendered in November 1918 and surrendered as a result of a military defeat.

              The Entente counteroffensive and the collapse of the Quadruple Alliance

              : Operation Amiens and Operation Saint Miel

              The Amiens operation (8-13 August) was the first in a series of operations of the so-called "hundred-day offensive" of the Entente, which ended in the military defeat of Germany and the Armistice of Compiegne.
              Its peculiarity was the complete absence of artillery preparation in the first hour, which further strengthened the factor of its surprise for the Germans: early in the morning the attack was launched by British tanks, and an hour later by French ones. The allies had more than two-fold superiority in strength (400 thousand against 180 thousand), and by the evening the Germans were driven back 8-12 km, having lost about 30 thousand people killed and wounded, and another 16 350 prisoners. Later, Ludendorff called August 8 "the blackest day of the German army in the history of world war."

              On August 14, Hindenburg reported to the Kaiser that the combat capability of the German army had fallen so much that it could no longer advance, and therefore it was necessary to look for an early end to the war through diplomatic means. Thus, the Amiens operation turned out to be a turning point for the entire course of the war.

    There was no need to let migrants in, because of them all the problems. You have to live at home, and come only to visit.

      If the migrants assimilated, obey the laws of the country they came to, then there would be no problems, and so ... We came from the Middle Ages and we need to arrange the same Middle Ages in the country that sheltered them. It seems that when the Russian emigration was after the revolution, Europe had no problems ...

      It was just that the newcomers had to clearly and rigidly set the living conditions - the fulfillment of FRENCH laws and orders, and not play with tolerance and democracy. Otherwise, deportation.
      In any case, if the military has stirred so much, perhaps they will restore order. It is noteworthy that French retirees wrote a letter, American retirees wrote a letter ... who's next? And who will the active army support?

        Or maybe it was not necessary to grab this supposedly cheap labor force! Now all these migrants are more expensive ... I am afraid that the same problems await Russia .. Our goons "amperialists" will finish badly with the import of migrants! Everyone is trying to pay less for their work, to put more in their pockets! You need to pay your own! It is necessary to provide their own with work.

      Ha, well, we are only at the beginning of this path. Putin tells us there are not enough migrants, yeah, from Central Asia. And the Tajiks and Uzbeks, oh so well assimilated in Russia, well, they directly sleep and see how to cuddle up to Mother Russia

    The French are a very active people. For example, raising the retirement age did not work for them. It looks like the Army is really ready to take matters into its own hands and put things in order with the migrants. Most likely, their wave will rush to Eastern Europe and to us. But we ourselves, in the light of the latest decisions, may have similar problems.

    almost half (about 49%) would support the army if it decided to take measures to restore order in the country.
    It turns out that the native French are already fed up with this tolerance and multiculturalism. We earned what they wanted and what they shouted about at every corner. There is little left - to kiss the boots of the Algerians and pay compensation. And there the Vietnamese will remember the past years ...

    The chief of staff of the French army took an extremely formal position and urged all signers of the letter to resign:

    "The wisest thing for you is to leave the army, the army must remain politically neutral and you are prohibited from making political statements." laughing The statement is formally correct, but crafty, since the military knows very well that when chaos and civil war begin, they will begin to be pulled over to their side by all sides of the political spectrum. That is, "army neutrality" is a sedative of well-fed times, and in bad times the army and its competence is a resource that is subject to merciless exploitation to suppress and destroy the opposing ones ..... Hmm, well, that is. France failed in self-preservation. Well, there they go laughing

    France needs a good military dictatorship. As under Napoleon, when France became great ... But, unfortunately, due to the mutual stubbornness of the two tsars, it was not possible to resolve a not very big issue by peace - and France lost its greatness.

    And this is all going! Most likely Buratina Rothschild will be thrown off, and Marin will rule !!! The military are very sorry that they were led to his promises !!! It got to the point that in some districts, the military command was allowed to carry weapons for self-defense !!! The cases of attacks on them and their families have become more frequent !!! The ceiling has been passed, France can flare up at any moment !!!
