The Enduring Legacy of a Great Man: Charles de Gaulle
No figure of modern French history is as honored as Charles de Gaulle. His name has been given to more streets, avenues and monuments in France than to any other man of the nation’s past. The country’s largest airport bears his name.The Unz Review

...new and strong #Europe, led by #France, that would be “1st in the world”;👉 a Europe “not dominated by either the Russians or the Americans.”👈
And he was one of the early thinkers of a #EuropeOfRegions:
He envisioned a “Europe of fatherlands,” and specifically denounced a “hybrid” #Europe that would not recognize and seek to preserve the distinctive national characters and cultural contributions of Italy, France, Germany and the other European nations." 1)

Again, agreed.
Alas, #Macron is no visionary, precognitive leader like Président #CharlesDeGaulle was. With today's hindsight, he rightly distrusted the #Americans:
"In May 1944, de Gaulle told a Soviet official “ regarding his view of the #US, "As for #America, it wanted a “docile France to make it a base for their #European policy.”1)

...though international trade integration has proven to be a great success, it has not stopped the polarization of the globe. In contrast, it has given rise to another dimension in antagonism, that if multinational corporations .

Lastly, in my view, even though the #DefenseUnion seems to have been the most difficult dimension for #EU to integrate, this mustn't be the case for the #EU and the non-US #NATO members.
In fact, #NATO proves that a Defense Union can be pursued independently from all other dimension.

Agree on both points.
It is very hard in Mastodon to amend a thread due to the quite severe character limit.
I tried anyway, though.
Also, I think the defense dimension is included now, as I'm talking about a #DefenseUnion.

You are very welcome.
Do you think such a Euro-North-American #FreeTradeArea, omitting the #MAGAmerica, would get a majority in #Canada?
My idea is to start deepening it towards a #DefenseUnion and other areas, similar to precursors of the #EU.

A new #FreeTradeArea (#FTA) encompassing #Canada, #Europe, and #Mexico could offset the #TrumpTradeWars induced #Recession going forward.
Time is of the essence.
It might be an idea to ratify #CETA and the newly renegotiated #GlobalAgreementWithMexico ASAP.

That must be equipped and financed. A "#DefenseUnion' is indispensable now.

...precursors to the #EuropeanUnion, like the #EC, as well as (finally!) a #DefenseUnion, should be on the table. Non-EU neighbors, such as the #UK and #Turkey should be considered as further partners. Too many different treaties are red tape slowing down decision-making processes and thus resilience in a chaotic environment.
Concurrently, the project of a #EuropeanArmy...
