    If the French install a new kind of government it will be more socialist than the current one. You are still stuck on the false idea that they are protesting against their social programs. They are not. Also, the new French government is less socialist than the old one, which is one of the reasons people protest/riot.

    They are rioting because they don't like Macron and his cuts to welfare, and his anti-union stance.

    Ah, we have a new one.

    The French are protesting _____________________(fill in favorite complaint - socialism, muslims, gas tax, EU, Macron, welfare cuts, attacks on unions, income inequality, too low minimum wage, elitism etc, etc)

    Most of the rioters are in fact low earning people from the country side, who see the government as one which is interested only about the issues of the city-people.

    I think the protest is about the stupid paris climate change agreement that french citizens do not like

    But thanks to globalism and the EU the ordinary frenchman has to battle a Deep State also that is very powerful

    The same is going on in the UK where the losers of the Brexit vote are trying to nullify that election

    Globalism....'deep state'..... Conspiracy theories are always a nice touch. Thanks for sharing your personal take on it. We have been over this enough times, and I won't bother repeating what has already been said.

    The gas tax was never meant to fund welfare, but then again, we already went over this.

    It's not socialism creating the European crisis and it isn't socialism creating the same crisis here that put Lard Bucket in the White House. But it could be socialism people turn to in desperation and that would be a shame. People like you support the greed underlying the present system.

    According to your own article it says " his policies deserve a third term in the form of Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton." And its not even that he said, it, it something the author of your article thought he might argue.

    If that is supposed to be some kind of conspiracy theory about Obama being president for the 3rd term, then so be it, but to answer your question the answer: no, I did not speak about any Obama 3rd term conspiracy theory.

    Correct

    Did you think I meant literally a 3rd obama yerm?

    Obama treated 2016 as a referendum on him and he lost

    I don't know. You were trying to associate some conspiracy theory about Obama's 3rd term and Putin to me, and I have no idea what you meant.

    How about you explain it:

    Your post applies equally here in America, where 98% of our total wealth is owned & controlled by less than 2% of our population. That's a travesty which none of us should support. Trump is part of that wealthy elite who control us. Electing him was stupid. I hope Americans wise up & elect every politician for what they promise to do to change this intolerable state of affairs.

    Yes, you should take responsibility since you claimed I floated some Obama-Putin conspiracy which I never even heard of.

    When HALF the working population gets a paycheck of 1930 euro... OR LESS... in a 1st world nation, than it's obviously the rich who have been doing too much of the robbing.

    I don't know about XI after all China is a communist state, but I think this is what Vladimir Putin believes.

    1 - That the world should be multi polar world, so one nation won't go hog wild with power the way the US did after the break up of the Soviet Union.

    2 - That all countries should be treated equally as specified in the UN constitution.

    3 - That nations have different standards, and no one should impose their own as being superior.

    As for the new world order, he said that the Soviet Union failed, and this world order will fail too.



    Pres. Trump has his own money, and therefore is less dependent on the corporations and wealthy individuals to win the election - and believe me they cost a fortune. The hope was and still is, that he will be able to fight them - but they are so adamant about their liberal new world order and maintaining power, that they're even willing to destroy the US to achieve it.
