Why are so many countries electing criminals? And why do they all seem to have the same agenda.
Russia buys the bots that influence people, and may be also hacking election infrastructure to boot.
Name a more iconic duo than far-right and Putin
Of course she will, what else would you expect from a Putin sock puppet. The only news worth element here is that she is openly admitting it.
She is a traitor like her colleagues in other member states. Putting Russian interests above French interests.
Keeping Europe small and fragmented, so it is an easier target for the larger powers to play with. Somehow that’s the single common thing all of these politicians all over Europe that like to call themselves ‘patriotic’ want to do.
Be it Le Pen in France, the AfD in Germany, …, if all of these really were so great for us Europeans, how come they are so staunchly supported by our global adversaries in Moscow and Mar-a-Lago?
Musk and Thiel are literally funding all of this. If one country had the balls to do what we are all thinking, it could help the whole world
I met Thiel once briefly about a decade ago. The guy was a total cunt. I interacted with him for all of 10 seconds and he pissed me off to the point I wanted to punch him in the face… I truly regret not doing it.
Superpowers love smaller countries’ nationalism.
Why yes, please do isolate yourself from your allies while shouting about national pride. How did you know I was hungry for another vassal state?
Correct and they all are conservative and right leaning. Even far right, similar to Nazis, no wonder they Support Naziism, so Russian current regime in the Kreml. Nothing too hard to understand.

Tbf, the romanticised view towards Moscow / Beijing is something also found regularly on the left side of the spectrum. The passed on opposition towards Washington and “the Western World” is so engrained that they don’t realise that the guy in Washington and the guy in Moscow meanwhile are happily holding hands, while Beijing (the “Moscow surrogate” after 1991) has left the spheres of socialism long ago and is becoming more capitalist and power-hungry by the minute.
None of these are our friends, none of these have our interest in mind, none of these want a striving, strong and independent Europe. Yet, a remarkably high portion of people here on the continent (on either side of the political spectrum) can only see us as the small, dependent fosterling of a “large power” and their whole debate is limited to whether that supervisor should sit west or east of us.

Like lunatics that in my point of view already fell of from what left should mean, or my understanding and position is the real middle which nowadays is already put into far left? Left is not anti-west, whatever “west” should mean as a unit (that actually doesn’t exist).
I agree with your sentiment, especially the second paragraph. It’s also not just left or right and you have to decide. We already have a lot of good rules written down and ratified by the majority of humanity and do not need to argue about basic human rights anymore. if you break them, that’s bad and wrong, no matter where you stand and as what you call yourself. The best options we have so far is individual freedom restricted by sane rules, so law and democracy with a closely regulated free market. Nowadays infrastructure might be handled more like in a planned economy, so that part can become more “left” imho. Free elections would also be more sane and clear, if not a strong minority would be able to pay a lot to steer public opinion and media, as their expenditure for it makes sure they can get even more and not pay their fair share.
Still i understand why it is so easy to say and like other weak groups/minorities are the cause for the regular persons hardships.
Threatens to Cut Support for Ukraine if Elected
I am reading this as an easy instruction: Do not vote for her.
You are right but the sad and harsh reality is that French people will vote who they think can solve their problems, not the problems of other countries.
Is it short-sighted ? Of course, but it also seems extremely logical.
Putin can’t beat the Ukranians, but he can sure beat the weak in France (Le Pen), Germany (AfD), UK (Reform), Canada (Alberta), and US (Republican/Pedophile party).
Don’t forget the Netherlands…
We take the cake when it comes to right-wing extremist parties: PVV, FvD, BBB, JA21 and Project2029 (yeah, the latter isn’t a joke).
The first two are confirmed to have received funding from Russia and the first four advocate a pro-Russian stance on the Ukraine war.
Plenty of simpletons in the Netherlands.
just so you know, LFI (France) are also playing the collabo card reagrding Russia and Mélanchon even considers Taiwan (and of course Tibet) to be a part of China.
Does she not even see the protests that are ongoing in her own country? She’s almost ready for the guillotine.
I don’t think the protests are strictly against her… after all she and her parties are not in the government.
