'He's Factually Inaccurate': Army Vet Slams Macron's 'Nationalism' Dig at Pres. Trump

As seen on "Fox & Friends First"

U.S. Army Special Forces veteran Jim Hanson said Monday that French President Macron's apparent jab at President Trump's nationalistic views was "unnecessary."

Being proud of your country is the exact opposite of being proud of your country? Is Macron actually physically braindead?

[oceanwaves]

Nationalism is preservation of culture. It's not about race. It's about morality! Go Trump!

Don't thank me, thank my recruiter.

in the migration pact 272 million migrants are allowed to immigrate to Germany, it should be done on bending and breaking as long as Stasi Merkel is in power, yes then good night German people

[AveDawg]

Don't see how he could say such a thing while honoring the 100th anniversary of the end of World War I.. Disgrace to say such a thing..

[junespiritu]

We should not concern ourselves what Macron says or thinks about our country. He can't even run his own country properly.

[johnbradley]

Mr president ....tariff them into submission

[joeltee]

Lets leave the french to take care of themselves

[JohnSurfer]

Keep Macron around. Let the cat (Trump) toy with the mouse.

[Patrick-kinq]

The French President should look up the meaning.

give them people a dictionary
na·tion·al·ism

/ˈnaSH(ə)nəˌlizəm/

noun

patriotic feeling, principles, or efforts.

synonyms:patriotism,  patriotic sentiment,  flag

[ValerieMathews]

Patriotism is similar to nationalism insofar as it emphasizes strong feelings for one’s country, but it does not necessarily imply an attitude of superiority. The definition of nationalism also includes “exalting one nation above all others and placing primary emphasis on promotion of its culture and interests as opposed to those of other nations or supranational groups.” This exclusionary aspect is not shared by patriotism. The two definitions have grown apart over the decades. Many people (and nations) have very different views on these two words. Over much of the world, nationalism has considerably negative connotations.

Any good plan (especially a military one) has contingencies upon contingencies...Trust The Plan! “What the hell do you have to lose!” -DJT-23...Think Rigid Flexibility. WWG1WGA!

A Trainer of mine, while serving USAF-AD, introduced me to this concept of Rigid Flexibility. Make plans and plan to adapt. Think of this: have the plan’s objectives changed? No, only the maneuvers to achieve them have.

And the objectives of THE PLAN really haven’t changed. They have adapted based on the contingent circumstances in the Area of Operation.

I leave with these two thoughts. 1) Now Sessions can testify...2) Trey Gowdy for AG!

Where does Israel and the mogul media stand on Nationalism, or developing a particular set of collective ideals for a state or society is not the same thing.

Double Speak ... very Orwellian ... Read “1984” by George Orwell

[davidrtd]

He is right about everything but the cause of ww1, Nationalism was a reaction to the cause of ww1 which was globalism . How many alliances did these nations get in to before ww1 ? Many . The reason why conflict erupted was because of these alliances which made these countries more obligated to each other so if Czechoslovakia got attacked by Austria-Hungary then Germany and Russia would have to intervene and wage war on each other, same as France and same as the British with its retaliation.
