“France has now lost four prime ministers in under two years. While mainstream pundits blame the country’s deep political polarization, Macron himself exacerbated the crisis by foolishly calling snap elections in 2024, an act intended in part to contain the rise of the political right but which produced a fractured parliament and rendered the country increasingly ungovernable. … Yet, from this position of profound domestic weakness, Macron has anointed himself Europe’s wartime leader. He has become the chief architect and most bellicose leader of a self-styled ‘coalition of the willing’ for Ukraine, openly floating the possibility of deploying Western troops under the dubious guise of a post-peace ‘reassurance force.’ In a surreal encapsulation of this disconnect, this very coalition convened in Paris just days before Macron’s own government was toppled in a vote of no confidence.” (09/10/25)
