A delegation of Marine Le Pen’s lackeys traveled to Moscow and then to the occupied Donbass region of Ukraine. Le Pen’s people are to play the role of “international experts” who, supposedly, have carefully studied the situation in the region and arrived at the conclusion that Ukraine is to blame and Putin is a hero.
Obviously, the “independent reports” created by these “experts” were printed out in the Kremlin, so the National Front apparatchiks didn’t need to stay in Donbass for long. After a short overnight visit, they went back home to keep pushing the public opinion in France in the direction of a greater support for Putin.
There is reason to believe that Putin is planning to use his German patsies on a similar assignment. Yes, these methods do seem crass and heavy-handed but most people don’t trace information to its source. They will vaguely hear that something bad about Ukraine was revealed by independent French and German experts and will never think to ask who these experts are and what interests they serve.
