Tell it to the freaking French that keep voting for her.

No shit, she's a russian asset

...but it clearly was.

Only Americans are still in denial that Russia has taken over the discourse on commercial social media and are constantly attacking even the freaking fediverse... with all its irrelevance.

I mean duhh. This was plain as day when it was happening. Everyone knew it. Same with MAGA same with the catelonia referendum same as Brazil the first time.

I agree, sounds very much like a scapegoat tactic

And, even if it wasn't, it is an easy scapegoat to galvanize people around. Basic politics.

It's politics, unfortunately of the appalling type.

Yes, it's actually embarrassing that it takes so little for Macron to stand out as the positive example.

Spineless.

Except France, they're cool.

not "every", we have plenty of positive examples, but there are so many equilibria in place that are anything but democratic.

Quite right. It's silly how bad at simply leading almost every world leader is - and it's crazy to know that on some level it's deliberate top-down class warfare, but saying so makes me feel like a nutcase.

Oh cool, we're getting a lukewarm response to hybrid warfare and it's only a decade late. I guess it's cool that Nige isn't happy

"България е чат от общите европейски решения, ние в лицето на правителството не се страхуваме да поставяме българския интерес, да го обясним и целите да бъдат постигнати. Това и направихме с изключването на три лица от санкционния списък", каза Радев, като имаше предвид шефа на "Лукойл" Вагит Алекперов, патриарх Кирил и Искандер Махмудов. https://www.segabg.com/hot/category-bulgaria/bulgariya-i-slovakiya-radost-otbelyazaha-che-ne-podkrepyat-ukrayna
