        The statement “Russia is a more reliable partner than the United States” was made well before the aggression, I think it’s safe to say it doesn’t hold today.

        The other statement by JLM is “It is a matter of diplomacy rather than artillery fire” - I don’t see how this is pro-russian.

        The RN though, is literally funded by Russia. So if you want them beat (and you do), this unity is necessary.

        LFI are hardly extremists. They’re not revolutionaries, they’re not communists, they’re just socialists.

            No, I don’t have a more recent statement. Looks like I have some reading to do. LFI’s stance on Europe has always been too vague for comfort to me, perhaps it’s time to settle this.

              It’s not your job to go look for those statements either, they can search for more information themselves and report back with their findings

                Absolutely, I meant some reading on the LFI’s positioning about Europe, specifically. And perhaps JLM’s own positioning within that, since he’s not always in complete unison with the rest of the party. Wrt the statement from 2020, I consider it reasonable to say it doesn’t apply today.
