    As for the French, it may well be true that the RN is capable of winning the next elections, yes. But Poland’s Konfederacja is still far from attaining power.

        Yes, after the Germans and the Russians, they are the ones with a track record of causing severe damage across vast areas of the European continent in the relatively recent past.

        The last major war Portugal had to fight defensively on its own soil was during the Napoleonic invasions. We have not forgotten.

      Indeed, it is France we need to watch out for. AfD and Konfederacja are both far from attaining power. AfD and Konfederacja will never have a majority or is unlikely find coalition partners.

            Because CDU will continue trying to win over voters further to the right, and to that end, they will tend to keep adopting positions further to the right until they become increasingly indistinguishable from the far-right.

              Let’s hope that PiS doesn’t do the same! I can see them supporting Russia against Ukraine if this wins them elections since Ukraine is putting UIA on a pedestal.
