Having a civil war or revolution in Ukraine, Africa, or the Mid-East is one thing. I'm sorry but have one occur in a Western European power and one that is nuclear armed is absolutely our concern.
So, the truth comes out...
Pro-US government under attack from the citizens?! Why not the same concern for other governments that’s faced rebellion...
Controlled western media maybe?
We had the same problem when the USSR broke up. Hey we even got Ukraine to give up their nukes... greeeeeeeeat for them now.Whatever you say but a nuclear power descending into revolution is a cause for concern by the international community.

Let the state maintain order. But if the people collectively have decided they no longer want that form of order that’s their business. And if somehow the French government comes down hard on these protesters and some get killed we better damn well call them out on that. I doubt that will happen. But this is pretty uncharted territory in a western country in the modern era.Far from a liberal there bud. A state has the right to maintain order. A state doesn't have a right to use lethal force on protesters which is where I draw a line.

But with regard to their nukes while we make fun of the French they have a professional military. Were it to devolve into actual civil war I would bet good money on the military leadership securing those weapons until the matter is resolved. I would expect any modern professional military to do so. They wouldn’t want that to happen on their watch (lose control of the weapons).You have no disagreement with me.
Oh yeah, those nukes are of no concern. Not at all of concern.Yeah I can tell that.

Where have I said the citizens don't have a legit issue? However if their movement decides to use violence than than the state does have an obligation to protect the public security.
