Macron Re-elected

Another reason to make Putin roll over in bed:

Given the timing, a setback for Vlad Vladimirovich. He managed to ensure his buddy Orban was re-elected in Hungary. Useful for sure but in a lone state located in the middle of a sea of surrounding anti-Kremlin Slavdom, not crucial. Having LePen and the National Front would have at least been a cause for celebration. Literally in Putin’s pocket with an unpaid loan and at odds with everything the EU and liberal democracy represents. LePen most certainly could have made a case to block Finland and Sweden’s anticipated application to join NATO in the short run. In the long run, a whole lot of damage to the EU.
