File under: Govt of Iran

#1 Give it a few more years and France will have new leaders. Ones that Nutjob will approve of.

#2 Funny... I bet France often things the same about Iran (meaning the Mullahs and not their mouthpiece).

#3 Note that some chosen french wingnuts applause with both hands... but then again, as I've noted before, a good chunk of the french far-"right" is more interested in hating the jooooos, the americano-zionists, free-market capitalism,... than actualling being actual rightwingers with actual rightwing convictions...

Nice to see they've already interiorized they've lost, and are rooting for the "strong horses", putin, iran,... in their fight against the Empire.

To be frank, other commenters DO point out the idiocy of approving/rooting for the iranian midget, which is pretty nice, given that sarko really is not loved there, for good (phony "conservative") and bad reasons (jooooooos, sold to the USA, mossad agent, bling-bling, he stole pépé lepen's thunder,....).

For those who don't speak french, 1st comment is "I love that guy", 3 is "but, he's very clear-headed, that dude", 4 is "me, I like him, he's in his home turf. And, after all, he does what he wish to in his country. He's just a scapeogoat for all those bitches sarko, bush, obama and co".

Etc, etc, and so on (with the mitigating factor of th enon-idiotarians weighting in to tell how screwed up a worldview this is).

Note that the "official" rightwing party, the FN, or what's left of it (an hollow shell with a cult-like devotion to the Fearless Leader) has made a clear shift toward that 'iranian friendly' stance and it's not recent. I guess being in the sphere of influence of the MM does allow to keep on paying the bills (some other red-brown micro-political parties have been co-opted as well, but those are very marginal, unacknowledged neo-n88zis, national-bolsh44viks, anti-zionists national-m99rxists,... but those are fringe).

Pépé le pen seems to have falen back into the far-right lowest common denominator with age, funny to think that in the 80's, he was courted by the israeli right (french jews put a grinding stop to that, as was the wish of the then president, the awful mitterrand, in order to "demonize" the FN to destroy the conservative right... can't paint the Devil as antisemite if he's an anti-arab ally of Israel/jews), and the FN was leaning toward Reaganism.
But, now, it's a cult of some sort, and pépé le pen follows his heart (his daughter is less "obsessed" with certain subjects, this infuriates some wingnuts who believe in "better - islamic - green than friendly to the joooooos").

#4 We all deserve better leaders. However, like everything else, you go to the international conference with the leaders you've got.
