Is a Civil War Brewing in France?

 No.....but there's enough going on that could radically change French politics, and maybe bring in some serious civil, and police reform.

The latest episode?  Around ten days ago....a French policewoman was stabbed to death by a Islamic guy in Rambouillet.  Around a month prior to that....a older French guy had his throat slit while standing outside of a church.

For 2020?  There were around ten acts of terrorism....with seven dead and twenty-odd people wounded.  

All of this is leading to a general feeling that something has to change or shift, and some portion of society (polls indicate it near 50-percent) think it's not that far from civil war or something similar to civil war.  

The French Presidential election for late April 2022?  Well....I expect the Macron folks to generate some massive show of force or change.....to ensure the public doesn't get crazy and vote Macron out of office.
