I was an anti Brexit activist and I gave a lot of interviews . Le Pen and the far right in France still want frexit. They just use a euphemism to fool people. And it works. And they are using the very same lies that farage used. To the letter.

Paul switch your mike off unless you're talking - it's causing feedback. Do it! Thanks for this fascinating discussion. Romanian case is indeed, we hope, a precedent for other cases. Distance is, after all no barrier, to this kind of campaign which is accompanied by Trojan horses like Musk.

Would it be possible to have a similar 30 minutes on what the Americans have been doing in Europe? Declassified CIA dossiers reveal the US has had its eyes on Ukraine since the end of WWII and even commissioned a study in 1957 that, among others, defined the areas of least resistance. From the end of the Cold War, the US, possibly with the UK's underhanded help,  has systematically undermined EU efforts to engage with Russia, for Example, the Northern Dimension. Russia was entirely on board up to the point where the US continually pushed to place NATO on Russia's borders and later interfered in Ukraine in 2014. Does anyone remember the Cuban crisis? You state Russia is in a state of war. Have you made a comparison with the US (and UK) since WWII?
