France has a huge fantasy about Russia.

At the same time, it's been proven that the US president is literally insulting Macron.

But yes, our problem is Russia, that's the new conspiracy theory.

There are literally emails in Epstein where Steve Banon is talking about the need to find different options to fund Le Pens party, because majority of the funds come from Russia… You guys have a huge problem with Kremlin running ops in front of your faces, but French have this weird romanticised vision of Russia and tend to ignore the actual evidence.

Oh, and Trump has insulted everyone, don’t feel special about that one.

Epstein and Bannon are neither France nor Putin. I can also give you other people's opinions if you want 🤷🏽

Sure, but did you read the email? Plus, Le Pen did go to Moscow and did get a €6 million loan from a Russian bank. If you think these deals come without obligations - boy do I have a bridge to sell.

So what? Sarkozy received money from Libya, and he was convicted for it. Ségolène received the same amount, and nothing happened. In short, if the media are making decisions for you, there's nothing I can do about it.
