It is this that France cannot abide in its sacred heart of darkness. Habsburg Austria was a competitor, but America is an obsession. The fact that America twice saved France during the 20th century merely reinforces the French sentiment of ultimate irrelevance. Centuries of accumulated bile ooze and gurgle in mortification. None of it matters. France has no military power and a sclerotic economy. Along with the rest of Europe, its population is aging and soon will decline. Its protest against American hegemony is the last echo of an evil age in Europe whose passing will go unmourned.

Wow.

What the author doesn't mention though, is that it's the native French population that's ageing. Muslims, especially from Algeria, are happily being brought in to redress this . The "imported" French population is rising steadily. Instead of an EU in perpetual decline, we may be confronted with a Muslim majority EU (with a nuclear arsenal) somewhere between 2050-2100.
