French President Emmanuel Macron offered an ambitious vision for European renewal on Tuesday, calling for the EU to work more closely on defense and immigration and for the euro zone to have its own budget, ideas he may struggle to implement.
I haven't been this inspired in years.
Let's hope Macron has a map to get to his EU destination.

UPDATE: Merkel "welcomes" Macron's thoughts.
UPDATE: Mockery about Macron aside, this analyst starts with a breathtakingly idiotic paragraph:
“A sovereign, united, democratic Europe.” This is the vision French President Emmanuel Macron outlined in a landmark speech on September 26, at the Sorbonne in Paris. Calling for a more united and democratic EU is not new. However, for a leader from a major country to passionately assert that European integration reinforces national sovereignty, rather than diminish it, is refreshing.
"Refreshing?" I think that analyst spelled "stupid" wrong.
European integration--ever closer union--under the EU led from Brussels will create a multi-ethnic empire that crushes national sovereignty. How an analyst can claim the opposite is stunningly idiotic.
