French President Macron visits Chairman Xi, distances from US, says Europe must find own path, wants nothing to do with Taiwan crisis. No wonder. He’s a smart guy, doesn’t want to hitch his wagon to a broken down, feeble horse that has lost its way.

You say you don’t want America to be the world’s policeman? Okay, then who will be? Defund your local police, violent crime rises. America is no longer the world’s policeman, what do you suppose will happen? World peace will break out? UN will sing John Lennon’s “Imagine”? Or local conflicts risk spreading into general war? Macron is a realist, wants the best for his country. Wish our leaders could say the same.
