Mr. Macron, Back in January, you prescribed "peaceful assembly without fear of punishment" for those attacking our law enforcement centers and public institutions at the behest of foreign malign actors. Yet now, facing unrest in your own Republic, you quickly declare that destruction and attacks on state institutions will not be tolerated and perpetrators will be swiftly punished. We have not forgotten how, prior to the aggression against Iran, you messaged the U.S. President: "We can do great things on Iran." It soon became clear that your version of "great things" meant aligning with a campaign of aggression and atrocities that eventually engulfed the region and the world. Now that the cycle of crisis has knocked on your own door - and as the cry of "no kings" echoes across America - it might be wise to remember that history does not merely sit by the window opened by sinister alliances, watching the world burn. Sometimes, it shatters that very same window and brings the fire straight back into the house of its authors. “A trick crafted too skillfully may turn against its designer; and betrayal often returns to its master.” Jean de La Fontaine
