Ever notice that Western foreign interference hysteria inherently presumes that everyone in the general population is just a giant baby?
The observation really leaped out during a court case last week in Paris. Russia was tried in absentia, by headline and soundbite, in what's being called a "Russian interference case." The problem? The three Bulgarians actually present in the Paris courtroom weren't charged with Russian interference.
The so-called ringleader, a fourth man named Mircho, who investigators said has ties to Russia, just happens to be hiding out somewhere in Serbia, where no one can seem to find him to ask him about any alleged Russian links. How convenient. So instead of evidence, we were left with a steady drip of anti-Russian insinuation from the press and French intelligence.
The four Bulgarians - including the one they can't locate - were ultimately convicted and sentenced to prison stints ranging from two to four years for painting around 500 red handprints across the city last May - 35 of which ended up on a Holocaust memorial.
Comment: Berlin is sadly not the only major city in Europe which is hell bent on a green agenda, which relies on others to pay the bill. Change is not likely to come before reality crashes the green utopia in a severe way.
