A partir du 13 janvier et jusqu’à la mi-février, la cheffe de file de l’extrême droite, Marine Le Pen, et onze autres prévenus vont être jugés par la cour d’appel de Paris, soupçonnés d’avoir détourné l’argent du Parlement européen au seul profit du parti.

With the US not being coy about its objectives, one has to wonder when Denmark will loose Greenland or helicopters exfiltrate Emmanuel Macron after Marine LePen is declared ineligible for the presidential elections. Are we ready for MAGA-foreign policy?
