Is Putin trying to prop up Europe's Far-Right ?

[politicus]

DPP deputy chairman Søren Espersen has said some remarkably pro-Putin remarks, and their MEP Morten Messerschmidt sees Russia as a safeguard against Islamism.

A couple of dozen Swedish right wing extremists (and a handfull Danes) are fighting as volunteers in Ukrainian militias, but among the "mainline" right wing populists in Denmark the tendency is definitely more pro-Russian than in the general population.

Also:

"Is it not this genuinely national starting point that determines Putin's response to Ukraine's attempt to blow up the national community, which throughout history has existed between Russia and Ukraine?
If the EU - and now NATO - presents itself in Ukraine to lure this Russian-oriented province to denounce and put away the Russia, they have belonged to throughout history, is it strange  that Russia is unrelenting? "

Søren Krarup, DPPs chief ideologue.

So useful idiots are making a comeback, this time as right-wingers. lol.

They are not necessarily idiots, the Putin regime is a valuable ally for them and the ideological difference between Putin and some of those groups is negligible.
