I am hearing really scary things in the wake of the beheading of that teacher. Is Macron starting an all out persecution campaign against Muslims?

I'd especially appreciate input by French chapos.

    After WWII, the French Communists were getting quite influential, so the US used the Marshall plan as leverage to get them barred from government. I sometimes wonder what history would have looked like without the wave of reaction in Western Europe being supported by the US.

            A big part of the reason the US dropped the bomb was to prevent that from happening. They didn't want the Soviets to have postwar control over Asia. If they had, we'd probably have a communist Korea, a communist Japan, a communist China, a communist Vietnam, a communist Cambodia... you get the point.
