As the diplomatic chill over Ukraine deepens, the Kremlin seems keener than ever to enlist Europe's far-right parties in its campaign for influence in the West, seeking new relationships based largely on shared concern over the growing clout of the EU.

Russia fears that the EU and NATO could spread to countries it considers part of its sphere of influence. And it has repeatedly served notice that it will not tolerate that scenario, most recently with its Ukraine campaign.

Europe's right-wing and populist parties, meanwhile, see a robust EU as contrary to their vision of Europe as a loose union of strong national states. And some regard the EU as a toady to America.

Yes, I did see post #20 but you asked, and in a snippy fashion I might add, so I made certain you got your answer, and I at least didn`t get rude, well not directly, I simply answered you question. Now I trust my point was made pertaining to my original statement and your question?

Well I’m glad that some other poster posted a source, we still aren’t 100% sure of what the actual facts are, but I had already helped you out in post 20.

So far, you have just been rude and useless.

No, I asked you for a source in post 19, and then made post 20 to support you, since I saw that some sources do claim that they passed CCL laws rather than the just the right to carry a rifle for self defense, as other sources report.

Anyway, between me and the other poster, we covered it for you.
