2. Well, now we know she was definitely a Russian plant and the French did the right thing.

3. There is this global scary movement of EU anti-globalists, Putin and Trump (and to a lesser extent BRICS although that is mostly anti-US which i can sort of get behind by now)) out to destroy the liberal world order. Wonder if Europe will be able to weather that storm.

4. That’s rich coming from them.

5. As if we needed more evidence the RN are Russian plants

6. Well that confirms it was the right decision

7. The opinion of the failed state can be entirely disregarded no matter what the topic is.

8. Well sounds like a good verdict then? If its confirmed by Russia ^^

9. I bet they do, they paid for her fairly!

10. If Russia condemns it, you know you are right.

11. Ahah Putin, gros sac à merde.

12. Russian bots everywhere downvoting this 😂

13. Oh we are so sad. anyway, how are YOU feeling. I’ve personnaly have a good day. Not a great day, not a bad day, just a good one (and her condamnaton helped in that)
    You having a good day might have a greater impact than her rattling

14. Why do dictators love to talk about democracy as soon as they don’t like something about other countries?

15. The Kremlin doesn’t like it when its assets are convicted of crimes they commited.

16. Another return on investment loss.

17. Putin has murdered a million people in order to “denazify” Ukraine. But Putin’s is OK with the rest of Europe and the USA being run by fascists.

18. i condemn kremlin

19. That alone proves it right decision

20. Russia doesn’t get to talk about other countries stepping outside the bounds of democracy without everyone laughing.

21. Uh yeah , she stole money lol there is the rule of law in France, sorry Putler.

22. Not surprising knowing that they have given money to anti EU far-right parties of different EU countries.

23. Tears from the Kremlin, tears from Orban, tears from the fascists all over the world… I could live off that for months.

24. I love the fact that the country who is led by a corrupt dictator wants to tell France about democracy….

25. The Kremlin wants the refund

26. I too, hate when my investments are a loss.

27. Marine Le Krem🇷🇺🪆🇫🇷

    Vlad The Mad. You just have to laugh out loud at the brazen hypocrisy of this murdering bastard.

    One of his henchmen called Le Pens ban a politically motivated attack on democratic norms🙉

    Democratic norms??. For the love of christ, I fell off the chair laughing.

    The one party state. The murderer and poisoner of opponents. Sending anyone who speaks out or dares oppose him to hell hole prisons for life.

    The invader of Ukraine, who has sent hundreds and thousands of his own young Russian men to their deaths.

    What in the flying fuck would Russia know about democratic norms?

    My translation is bad, but who cares…

    пошел на хуй, Влад

    Or should I say..

    va te faire foutre Vlad😁

28. basically the check that we did everything correctly with that one.

29. That means we did something right

30. Kremlin condems another country and uses democracy as an excuse..very rich.

31. Probably meaning the French Justice system did something right.
