Zemmour: France's new potential "far right" presidential candiadate

How?

I mean I don't agree with his hostility too Iran and don't support his assassination of solemani , but I wouldn't say anything he did was war mongering- esp in the context of US presidents. Trump for all his rhetoric was practically a pacifist in comparison. .

No I said that he tailors his delivery to his audience. Most of what we are seeing is what he is choosing to project to some degree.
Eg look at some of his interviews from before 2010.

I was more referring to his comments about trying to Nuke North Korea, well, and Iran for that matter. The fact he reinstated Americas war on Iran, furthered the war ibn Syria and capitulated to the Taliban do not stand in his favour in my book, he might not have been as bad as some of his predecessors in foreign policy but he certainly wasnt good. The one thing i'll give him credit for was trying to mend relations with Russia and squish China.

He never said he would nuke anyone. He said something along the lines of IF they attacked America or US soldiers he would hit them very hard. Trump even visited NK and met Kim

Which crime bill was this?

I do, i was more referring to his mocking silver star families and the like though (or whatever theyre called). Do you not remember his 'fire and fury' speach?
In what way was it effective? He achieved nothing with it? DPRK forged ahead with its programme, Iran ramped up its nuclear plan because of him and.. well, everything else was just as successful.

I'm not sure what your point is? I never said anything about Obama?

Where was that his foreign policy? Assuming he acxtually had one (i rather doubt he's familiar with realism, neo realism or any other foreign policy dimension for that matter) as to worked, see above.
It might be in some cases, my opposition to it is simply because its moronic and not in any interest aside from his own. It certainly wasnt good for Britain or the world..

Can you expand on that?

How half right? After all his appointments speak for themselves, they were little more than cronyism at its most blatent. At least with Corbyn he had some actual moral standing/convictions behind his actions.. Trump, however, decidedly did not. He appointed friends and family to key positions of power like a feudal lord to enrich himself and others (look at his abuse of air force one and using his hotels)

People might well no9t want toffee nosed tosspots as politicians, they do however tend to want someone who is predictable and will look after their interests. Trump decidedly does not meet either of those criteria. He screwed farmers, gave false hope to coal miners, before screwing them, went after the poor by trying to take away their medical care and so on.
Again, not everything was bad, if most of it, im still fully behind his Russia policy, even if it was frustrated at every turn by Democrats and the GOP, but his attewmpt to eradicate CRT and anything similar was a good move. Eqwually, his attempt to remove the quasi-domestic terrorists that constitute 'antifa' (such as its actually a group) have some good bits to them. Somerwhat undermined by his support of football hooligan types but hey ho.

thats the samer thing..
As to meeting him, thats not something in his favor?

An economic war.. there being no other way to describe it

By keeping troops in Syria and continuing to occupy the oil fields etc.

What else would you call surrendering to them?

So whats the deal with him and Le Pen?

No time to fight. We only have 1 chance to save European people from their "melting pot"

Unfortunately the run off system makes it very difficult for a non-establishment candidate to win even if one managed a first round victory.

You're probably the most pro "establishment" poster on TSR. Not sure why you deem it unfortunate!

While it's true that I am very comfortable with the status quo I do have plenty of reformist zeal within me and the French establishment is even worse than the British establishment in terms of lacking imagination and being led by their civil service.

How so? Le Pen was an anti-establishment candidate but easily went through to the second round in 2017. It is likely that either Le Pen or this new guy will do the same in 2022.

The French public just don't want an anti-establishment candidate.

Le Pen proved the point. In R2, everybody will gather round Macron regardless of approval or R1 results.

I'd say he is controlled opposition to steal votes
