You're probably a little tired of this or maybe you're just you become desensitized to hearing about massive riots and protests in France.
And including some really horrific scenes of historic buildings literally burning to the ground.
And also reports that at least in the town of Marseille, which is the south of France.
Shops that were looted were they were looted because they were Jewish owned, that the rioters had information, whether it was erroneous or not, to only go after those shops.
And they did, whereas in other parts of the country, they kind of trashed everything.
And the president of France, Emmanuel Macron, who has six months left to his term, his term limited there, so he's not going to be president anymore six months from now, is under heavy fire for going to a Celine Dion concert Friday night.
At some point, the French military may get seriously involved, heavily involved, and that'll be a very ugly scene.
If that happens, we have to stop talking about riots, and then we need to start talking about civil war or maybe invasion.
Because if these riots continue to be mostly led by recent migrants to France from their open border policy, then is it even fair to call it a civil war? I think back to the very famous, it's incorrectly, erroneously called the civil war, the Lebanese civil war of 1976.
