Oh, it's simple. Follow the money. She was financed by the Russians. Same with Orban and other Russian "assets" in Europe. Do you think Brexit just happened? All these things follow a clear pattern. Disinformation is like a cancer for our societies.

But Macron went for the jugular: Referring to her party's decision to take out a loan with a Russian bank, he told her "you depend on Mr. Putin." Le Pen countered by saying she had not been able to get a loan in France and insisted that the transaction in no way compromised her independence. "I am a completely free, independent woman."

Le Pen wants France out of NATO



There was another guy that wanted to pull the US out of NATO.
How convenient for Putin, isn't it?

To understand how far the fantasies of some Russians can go, read about Aleksandr Dugin and his book "The Foundations of Geopolitics: The Geopolitical Future of Russia"

Here are some ideas. Anything familiar here?

• The United Kingdom, merely described as an "extraterritorial floating base of the U.S.", should be cut off from Europe.[9]

• Ukraine should be annexed by Russia[...]

• Iran is a key ally. The book uses the term "Moscow–Tehran axis".[9]

• Belarus and Moldova are to become part of Russia.[9]

• Russia should use its special services within the borders of the United States to fuel instability and separatism, for instance, provoke "Afro-American racists". Russia should "introduce geopolitical disorder into internal American activity, encouraging all kinds of separatism and ethnic, social and racial conflicts, actively supporting all dissident movements – extremist, racist, and sectarian groups, thus destabilizing internal political processes in the U.S. It would also make sense simultaneously to support isolationist tendencies in American politics".[9]
