Marine Le Pen, who<br />
is expected to run<br />
against French President<br />
François Hollande<br />
in May 2017,<br />
made the aberrant<br />
comment that ‘there<br />
was no reason for<br />
Europe to be scared<br />
of Russian President<br />
Vladimir Putin’, when<br />
experts, such as<br />
Anne Applebaum,<br />
have repeated stated<br />
that Mr. Putin is working<br />
to destabilize Europe<br />
which is facilitated<br />
when there is a<br />
lack of unity. Ms. Le<br />
Pen called the U.S.<br />
election a victory<br />

especially important to Mr. Putin both<br />
historically and based on its location.<br />
Germany is a neighbor to countries between<br />
its borders and Russia that are largely sympathetic<br />
to Mr. Putin.<br />
In Turkey, a key regional nation and a NATO<br />
member, President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan is<br />
disenfranchised once again by the EU, and by<br />
exclusion from ongoing American supported<br />
military action to retake Mosul, Iraq from ISIS<br />
and the similar plans to liberate Raqqa, Syria.<br />
Given the atrocities, including human rights violations<br />
and suppression of a free press, following<br />
the failed coup against Mr. Erdoğan,<br />
Turkey will be unable for many years, if at all,<br />
to show adherence to Rule of Law; a precursoro<br />
