Well they had a hand in Brexit, they succeeded in the US (Trump) – now they going for the French – either Putin is more cunning – or people in the West are dumber than many of us might have thought ---the absurdity of life

Their is a shift in popular opinion for more nationalistic approach and anti-globalaist approach. Nothing to do with Putin. People around two world want their leaders to put their country first, and the leaders who grasp this momentum will continue to be successful, hence the success of Brexit and Trump on election day, and same will happen in France.

The liberal political parties can point to Putin and make allegations and will continue to look stupid in the end as their nations electorate show them the middle finger on election day

America did not become the country is by being jingoistic ---- otherwise the Indians would still be in charge --- every American individual who has advanced some multinational corporation, in whatever discipline, for the most part are second, third and fourth generation descendants of foreign nationals – this current jingoistic shift is based predominantly on country of origin and by extension nationality of the new immigrants ………….the lack of jobs is a red herring that we can discuss in another context –

You telling me about America's history in regards to immigrants does NOT change the sentiment of the people in America and around the world TODAY who want a more nationalistic approach in how their nations are governed

and all I am saying is that ethnicity of immigrants is what driving this wave of nationalism and every other reason/excuse is a fallacy
