Macron Demands More War Chest, Citing 'Fear' as French Hospitals Crumble
French President Emmanuel Macron, a man whose domestic approval often hovers precariously low, is now demanding more billions for defense, insisting 'one must be feared.' This, of course, comes as France grapples with strikes over pension cuts and a severely underfunded public healthcare system that, according to Mediapart, saw its budget slashed by billions over the last decade. It appears 'fear'
isn't just for adversaries abroad; it's also meant to keep the public in line when demanding basic state provisions. Meanwhile, defense contractors, likely ecstatic, prepare for another profit surge. One might wonder who truly benefits from this perpetual state of perceived 'global threat.'
