Marine Le Pen's Worldview: Oppose America, Embrace Iran
Gatestone institute ^ | Feb 6, 2014 | Peter Martino

Posted on 02/11/2014 8:07:19 PM PST by JerseyanExile

Marine Le Pen, leader of the Front National (FN), the most likely winner of the upcoming municipal and European elections in France, held a press conference on January 22, in which she presented the foreign policy of her party, including a passionate plea for France to break off its relations with Saudi Arabia and ally itself to Iran.

Sitting next to her foreign policy advisor Aymeric Chauprade, Le Pen advocated that France should sever its links with Saudi Arabia, "America's... ally" and a "dangerous country ruled by extremist clans, who, since the origin of Wahhabism, have but one goal: to dominate global Islam and turn it into jihad against all other civilizations."

Marine Le Pen is apparently of the idea that the world is currently under threat from two evil types of global imperialism trying to subjugate France: American "euro-mondialism" and Islamism. In Le Pen's view, both the Americans (with the European Union as an American tool) and the Islamists want to dominate the world and destroy France's sovereignty and identity.

Her view seems to be that there is moral equivalence between the U.S. and Islamism; that both are equally eager to dominate the world, and that sometimes they even cynically use each other to foster their own goals.

Le Pen's worldview seems comes from the man sitting next to her, Aymeric Chauprade, who taught geopolitics at the Joint Defense College of the French army, until he was fired after writing a book in which he voiced the possibility that that the 9/11 attacks might have been part of a deliberate plot conceived in Washington to start an American war against the... world.

Chauprade is being groomed to become the leader of the FN group in the European Parliament after the next French general elections.

Instead of leading the West to sanity, Marine Le Pen falls ill to the rabies of anti-Americanism and commits civilizational treason in supporting Iran.
If she is angry with the EU, she should look at how it was founded by France as this third way against the US and USSR. She is not an enemy of the #Eurabia project, but a continuation of it. She is not the next Charles Martel, just the next collaborating traitor like Charles Maurras.

They have bases in Venezuala and are working on nukes and ICBMs. You you need to be hit with a hijaaked 767 to pay attention to reality?

She’s right about the Saudis, and not far off about the US and EU, but I don’t get the Iran part at all, unless they are providing funding.

Follow the money!

There are none so blind as those who refuse to see.
Do some basic research and retract like an adult.

There is no 'basic research' to be found for your nutty assertion...just some off the record comments made to the foreign press from "someone" working in the national security industry...you know the typical scary fake news fabrication process.

So you are saying that the missiles the Iranians paraded and celebrated don't exist. You are saying that they have no nuclear weapons program?
I suppose that nothing short of a nuclear test will change you mind. And then you will say that as a nuclear power, they are untouchable. Because you are already a supporter of Iran out of hatred for America.

Saying that you hate America is wrong. You hate our use of power abroad. This means that you very quickly denounce America and find virtue or innocence in our enemies.

Our foreign policy is horrible and we have real threats.

No Einstein... I'm saying the Venezuela launch site for those missiles doesn't exist, and that such claims are a deliberate fabrication designed to exaggerate the threat Iran poses to the United States.
