A real war is being mulled inside the EU and NATO - and most do not seem to care

I've really got no idea on the subject other than to admit I cannot stand the guy.

I'm not much fonder of Macron neither tbh.

Erdogan has called on Turks to boycott French goods.

Meanwhile like every good women should, Merkel is keeping quiet and standing by her man Erdogan.

We stand together i EU....except if one of the member state have diplomatically problem with a country outside EU...then they are on their own.

Denmark was also quite alone in their Muhamad crisis in 2005-something. If I remember correctly the only support the Danish government got from EU was what I call mental support.

France warns citizens to be cautious as anger seethes in Muslim world over cartoons

Seems the last bastion of Liberté, égalité, fraternité on continental Europe will soon be a thing of the past. Bet he gets replaced by someone aligned with the goals of fuehrer Merkel and Germany's old friend and ally Turkey.

Brits were wise leaving the merkelreich when they did.

I can't say how close Merkel and Erdogan are atm but I doubt it is that close and France is well able to handle herself militarily within the boundaries of continental Europe.

I suspect this latest spat will be decided one way or the other through trade terms.

Oh I'm sure the Fuehrer and Erdogan aren't that friendly in fact I'd say she is too timid to be an equal as it appears Erdogan is running the show. His recent threats of war were just sabre rattling to get what he wanted at negotiations and primarily to make himself look good to the Islamic world. From what I understand he is stopping the flow of refugees on his side of the border but it seems he managed to strong arm Germany into paying for it.
