Heads of states and governments attend ceremonies to mark the 100th anniversary of the signing of the Armistice which brought the First World War to a close. Watch live Sunday, Nov. 11 at 4am ET.

The heads of state are just arriving now. It is 11:06AM Paris time.

Sorry I am late, just found this. It is showing Paris with bells tolling.

[PghBaldy]

POTUS & First Lady just arrived.

[PghBaldy]

Putin just arrived.

[bgill]

CNN was saying maybe Trump and Putin arrived separate because they had a meeting. Russia, Russia, Russia.

Can’t take the music.

[mkmensinger]

Yo Yo Ma is a great cellist, but the music sounded like he was just warming up.

[snoringbear]

“Can’t take the music.” Well, gotta give it to the French; they know how to put on a great parade, lol 😂.....

[BamaBelle]

Watching...
Personal note. Today would have been my parents 90th birthday...yes, I said birthday. They were born same day, same town, and grew up one block from each other. Mom was 3 hrs older than dad.

IMO it's awful. Reminds me of some avant-garde off-Broadway production. The music is just horrible. Screeching cats.

And like clockwork here comes Machron whining about nationalism being a betrayal of patriotism.

[a little elbow grease]

Did I just hear Macron "slide" into his speech the phrase ............

"Nationalism is the enemy of patriotism?"

If so it seems that was a huge dig at President Trump, and it will most likely be what all the MSM will talk about later today.

Just a thought.

************

PS .... yes, bgill, that violin - cello morose dirge was pretty hard to listen to.

[nfldgirl]

Fox idiots need to shut UP and enjoy the music!

[sodpoodle]

Up early and was surprised - Fox had not promoted this event. Much ado on MSN about Potus not attending the graveyard ceremony.

With so many Heads of State this must be a security nightmare.

Will soon call my son to thank him for his service.

[livius]

Thanks - clicked on it as soon as I saw your link. I would have missed it otherwise,

[bgill]

Some know the meaning of Nationalist v. nationalism. Some purposefully misinterpret.

AF-1 can’t leave quick enough.

"IMO it's awful. Reminds me of some avant-garde off-Broadway production. The music is just horrible. Screeching cats."

______________

"Screeching cats" --- I'd say, "tortured, in-agony cats".

I guess the music was trying to convey the utter horribly dreary ugliness of that war.

If so, they did.

[a little elbow grease]

And like clockwork here comes Machron whining about nationalism being a betrayal of patriotism. ----

Yes, I heard that too. But I think you quoted it correctly. (See # 9).

I wonder what DJT thought of that sentence!

[a little elbow grease]

EmmanuelMacron in Paris at l'Arc de Triomphe:

"Nationalism is a betrayal of patriotism.

By saying 'Our interests first. Who cares about the others?' we erase what a nation holds dearest, what gives it life, what makes it great, and what is essential: Its moral values."

************

As he digs at DJT.

Don’t forget who European leadership (much of it) is. For those who never saw it, here is the opening ceremony of the Gotthard Tunnel ceremony:

Micron is a reliable little back-stabber, as befits the leader of America's oldest Janus-faced friend/enemy.

My dad had an uncle - was named after him, actually - who had been exposed to mustard gas near the end of WWI, leaving him with lung problems for the rest of his life. Nationalism didn't ruin his life, INTERnationalism did.

[pcottraux]

It’s a long way to Tiperary!

[Freee-dame]

Macron says “Who cares about the others” to take a dig at the American. President, President of the country that pulled your country out of the fire twice! Outrageous.
