Submitted by gjohnsit on Mon, 04/11/2022 - 2:00pmYesterday's presidential elections had a very disappointing outcome.
The run-off election will pit the incumbent, Emmanuel Macron, finished first, with 27.8 percent; against the far-right Rassemblement National, Marine Le Pen, with 23.1 percent.
Macron is an odious and arrogant neoliberal, while Le Pen is a xenophobic near-fascist.
Very sad news

There's concern about the food supply due to the war we've declared on Russia. Make no mistake, the US egged on this war, and with the sanctions, essentially declared war. Now we're going around the world threatening other countries to sanction Russia and provide arms to promote this war in Ukraine as long as possible. Perhaps this will be the death knell of this evil empire as country after country defies our demands. When you hear 'the world is on our side', they're talking about one third of the world. The other two thirds are supporting Russia or at least being neutral.
