I would say that the Commune would fall under “everything following” the disastrous revolution. Although there were two communes, one during the revolution (in 1792) and one after Napoleon III’s fall (1871); both were failures.

The unusual foray by a French leader onto religious territory sparked outrage among critics, not least since they come at a time of heightened tensions with France’s Muslim population after a series of deadly jihadist attacks in the country.

The critics aren't defending secularism, they are defending jihad. Thanks Olog-hai.

France lost 1.7 million men in WWI - more than we’ve lost in all of our wars combined since the United States was founded. Without their military aid we would still be British citizens.

Good. Macron isn’t such a bad egg.

He hasn’t relented on strengthening the EU, which means he is not for his Fifth Republic being independent.

The French Revolution was a product of “the Enlightenment”, the U.S. was not.

Progressives and Marxists have done a massive job of obscuring that fact, and the difference over the years.

Here’s a paper that provides some enlightenment on the subject:

On certain issues. He’s still a big cheerleader for the EU though.

Like Iran...?

Yup.
But still.
The Strogg have France.
