Le Pen is a disgusting creature from a line of disgusting creatures. She is basically a more intelligent lady Trump. There is no communist candidate.
Well, the Washington Post thinks Mélenchon is...

The reality is that “big change” is likely to come with or without Mélenchon: For the first time in the history of the Fifth Republic, neither the Socialists nor the Republicans — the vaguely center-left and center-right parties, respectively, that have governed France since 1958 — are likely to triumph at the ballot box. The contest will probably be a face-off between political outsiders: the independent Macron, the far-right Le Pen and, possibly, the communist Mélenchon.
I'm not saying he is or isn't. He DOES seem to make a lot of communist noises.
I AM saying or trying to show, how easy it is to "misunderstand" things another country does, or appears to be doing.
This is ofc with reference to the US and North Korea.
After a while, I get tired of someone that is neither a US citizen or a North Korean, bashing the USA, repeatedly.
As I've said, many times, I believe Trump/the US is doing what needs to be done, concerning North Korea.
The news reported just about everything concerning the Syrian attack, except the fact that North Korea has been supplying Syria with arms, and has quite a few North Korean soldiers there as well.
Supposedly, they are giving Syria military advice.
All in all, I think the US has done no more or less than was wise. We destroyed the airport where the chemical attacks came from, and are now over in the Far East, keeping an eye on North Korea.
Both Syria and North Korea are violating UN sanctions, so to speak, one using outlawed chemical weapons, the other developing outlawed devices and making war like noises.
Let's say the US just totally leaves North Korea to it's own devices. What will we be ABLE to do, if later this year, North Korea starts demanding things of the US and holds, South Korea or Japan as a hostage?
It'll be a little late then to rally to their aid. We won't be in a geographic position to do anything except yell at them.
