@randahl Someone deservedly thrown out of office in the last European election. A pro-Russian conspiracy theorist whose unpopular views favoured by authoritarian states are used in anti-Western propaganda, and she is *reliably* (invariably) anti-Western. The West deserves plenty of criticism and dissent is always welcome but when you become a loud mouthpiece for totalitarian states you have no credibility, even when you're on the right side of an issue.
