Changes

But as the '''unhappiness''' has increased, as the approval ratings for Macron dipped below 20% and then below 15% and then reaching about 10% approval, and that means 70 or 80% disapproval. There was no reaction of the [[government]] to the '''unhappiness''' in the public, and now a spark and explosion and it's just a disaster. Of course, the [[economic]] fallout of what's happening in [[France]] is profound. [[Interest rate]]s are soaring. [[French]] [[public debt]] is already very large. Now will pay a compound penalty [[interest rate]] on top of this. This will exacerbate the [[Stagflation|economic stagnation]] and decline being felt throughout [[Europe]]. Next door in [[Germany]], the unpopularity of the Chancellor and his party are equivalent. This is the situation. It's a continent that is engaged in an extraordinarily [[NATO war in Ukraine|unpopular war with Russia]] that could be ended as I am emphasizing through a sensible [[negotiate]]d outcome. But the [[European]] leaders are choosing the drums of [[war]] rather than the negotiating table.}}
