  1. Yeah sure….like how stupid you have to be to vote for obviously putin sponsored fascist on these days???

  2. >”As soon as the Russian-Ukrainian war is over and has been settled by a peace treaty, I will call for the implementation of a strategic rapprochement between NATO and Russia,”

    Good lord, as long as Putin is President there’s precious little to gain from rapprochement. She really is his #1 fan

  3. This is a French foreign policy tradition. Their anti-Americanism pushed them into this line of thinking starting with Charles “from Atlantic to Urals” De Gaulle up until the Emmanuel “Europe from Vladivostok to Lisbon” Macron. And they wonder why counties closer to Russia don’t trust them. Because of this “strategic autonomy” schtick that they have been utilizing to coddle Russia to counterbalance the US and China which is a recent addition.

  4. If they withdraw from occupied territories, pay compensation and sincerely work on deradicalization and democratization of their society, sure, but that won’t happen.

  5. “G-guys… what if us Allies just established closer links with Nazi Germany and Japan? That sounds like a great idea right?”

  6. There’s nothing wrong with closer NATO-Russia links, but first the latter will have to withdraw entirely from Ukraine, including Crimea, apologise for what it has done & pay the required reparations for the damage it has caused.

  7. I guess that means she would block our NATO membership. I wish our politicians would hurry up.

  8. Anyone tired of hearing Putin’s cock sucker? I mean, as long as the latter gives all territory, apologizes and pays reparations, I’ve got no problem but I’m pretty sure she’ll be on Russia keeping Crimea and that ⅓ of Donbass.

  9. IMO the most interesting part from that press conference was this comment

    > While Macron has returned to the traditional notion of the Franco-German motor driving Europe, Le Pen also made clear she would not put relations with Berlin at the heart of her foreign policy.

    > “Germany is the absolute opposite of France’s strategic identity,” said Le Pen, speaking of “irreconcilable strategic differences” between Paris and Berlin.

  10. Macron says they’ll need to raise the retirement age shortly before the first round, Le Pen makes it clear she supports the worlds (or at least Europes) currently most hated dictator shortly before the second.

    You’ve got to admire the honesty, I suppose.

  11. FFS im so tired of braindead populists. How can anyone think getting close to russia? At what dimension are these people living in?

  12. Why did NATO refuse President Yeltsin’s request for Russia to join Nato in the 90s? This war would not have happened.

  13. This Kremlin bitch said that Crimea is rusian, that she wanna get rid of NATO and EU. She wanna be really close with rusia. She’s saying all that while rusians are killing thousands of civilians in Ukraine, ruining lives of millions of people. France, do u really think THIS could be ur president? If she doesn’t care about the fate of the biggest country in Europe why the heck will she care about your lives?

  14. She is like this girl that you don’t want to date ever but she has unstoppable crush on you.

  15. Maybe you can shut down the French nuclear plants and build a shitload of gas pipelines to Russia. That will surely make Russia behave reasonably and not murder children

  16. Putin is right about one thing. The West can be played like a fiddle. The correct course of action would be to ban her from ever running for office again.

  17. does she know that the putin says it’s war not between russia and Ukraine, this war between russia and NATO?
