I think they think they are at critical mass in France now, and feel like it's time to try taking France. Again.
Where is Charles Martel when France needs him?

I mentioned on TOS that to destabilize a modern society, it doesn't take that many people. Any population in a country can do it, and they need not have anywhere near a majority in the society. It just takes enough people willing to behave unlawfully.
The odd thing about the France riots is that they already (for years now) have fully 10% of their army dedicated to internal security within France.
One wonders if the French military will step in, and along the way, tell Macron his presidency is over.
