so, here's the thing.

maybe i'm wrong. maybe the russians didn't bomb paris.

but, if the result is that marine le pen wins the election and pulls france out of nato?

then, they bloody well should have bombed paris.

that would be the biggest victory for the russians since stalingrad.

france operates on a run-off. there seems to be three major candidates, right now - the so-called "socialist" party of hollande (which is anything but...), the "republican party" (sarkozy's party) and the front nationale.

if the run-off ends up between sarkozy and le pen, it can be reasonably expected that the "socialists" will probably line up behind sarkozy in sufficient enough numbers to prevent le pen from winning.

it's the possibility of a run-off between le pen and hollande, which forces the conservative republican voters to pick a side, that gives her a distinct possibility of winning.

if you see another attack leading up to the election...
