The 5th French Republic is in trouble. In this podcast, I discuss its problems, red herrings, solutions, and prognosis.

Problems:
1. Bureaucracy
2. Institutionalized corruption
3. Foreign influence (EU, NATO, US)

Red herrings:
1. Immigrants
2. Russia, China

Solutions:
1. Get out of EU, NATO
2. Cut bureaucracy and improve competitiveness
3. Get rid of institutionalized corruption

Prognosis:
Not happening this election cycle. Macron will win, and things will get worse before it gets better.
