The European Union apparatchiki remain frustrated that it can't simply order the EU member states to do what they want. But they keep trying. And Macron is their current champion.
Macron, the champion for the EU imperial state, is chagrined to see Europeans looking to NATO as Russia destroys peace in Europe:
Reports of Nato’s brain death appear to have been exaggerated. It remains to be seen how a newly dominant Macron fits its Lazarus-like recovery into his vision for Europe.
While a crisis is perfect for expanding EU powers, a war in Europe is a different matter. Then results matter. Hence NATO is revived.
Sure, Macron thought he lucked out when Germany's Merkel stepped out of the way, so Macron probably thinks Germany is his to drive. We'll see if newly vigorous (and alarmed) Germany wants to add its new military power to the EU or to NATO.
Without the Germans in the EU defense project and with Russia obviously in need of being kept out of Europe, I think Macron will have to work much harder to destroy America-dominated (with a large assist from Britain) NATO and pave the way for the EU empire.
Never doubt Macron's EU vision is a threat to America--and to Europeans.
