This:France is historically a schizophrenic place veering between good old school Nationalism ( free French and now the FN and Le Pen ) v delusional superiority complex which sees itself as a wannabee ruling power across Europe with whichever allies it can find
could equally validly be said as this:
Britain is historically a schizophrenic place veering between good old school Nationalism v delusional superiority complex which sees itself as a wannabee ruling power across Europe with whichever allies it can find .
Although if this thread is anything to go by the old school Nationalism is far more prevalent on the northern shores of the Channel than the southern.
Firstly I was referring to ‘‘old school Nationalism’’ as being a good thing.You know every European Nation state free to decide their own individual respective destiny,free of foreign Federal dictatorship of whatever sort.As opposed to your obvious support of every stinking European takeover attempt from the Romans to Tito’s failed project and now the EUSSR/4th Reich.
While taking out Napoleon,the Austro Hungarian Empire and liberating the place from Hitler ( and Petain’s French rabble ) and holding Stalin at bay isn’t exactly the actions of a wannabee ruling power across Europe.As opposed to those enemies’ plans for it.
We now live in a world where one country’s actions affects many others. The simple nationalism of earlier days is long gone. Acting in isolation is foolish.
