I like it. Liberal Democracies must be encouraged, nourished, and protected against the autocracies and theocracies of the world.

The EU is messed up because every single member has to agree when something is voted on and there's no real system for kicking out a member that doesn't voluntarily want to leave. Therefore, start up a new and improved EU-like organization like Macron suggests that has a charter that is very similar to the EU's but fixes all of their mistakes. Then EU members can leave the EU and join the new organization over time.

Disband NATO, form EU only army, and create a European free trade zone, problem solved.

No need for a political union, as these inevitably erode sovereignty. Economic/trade alliances are better. And anything with Macron involved should be avoided at all costs.

Someone needs to tell this little 'Jupiter' that we made our decision in 2016 and we meant it.

Thank God for Brexit. As the Bard once wrote, 'Britain is a world by itself and we will nothing pay for wearing our own noses.'
