(Bloomberg) -- Prime Minister Michel Barnier warned that France has reached its “moment of truth,” as far-right leader Marine Le Pen is set to join a left-wing coalition to topple his government as soon as this week.Most Read from BloombergAs Wars Rage, Cities Face a Dark New Era of Urban DestructionRiyadh Metro Partially Opens in Bid to Ease City’s Traffic JamsSubscribe to the Bloomberg Daybreak podcast on Apple, Spotify or anywhere you listen.Le Pen’s National Rally as well as a leftist
See, this is what I’m talking about.

And the solution proposed was going to make the left’s version of what was the problem a whole lot worse.It would be weird if both elections happened to follow the exact same pattern, with the result that the country’s government collapsed “democratically” into impotence in exactly the same way. Right?
And yes, I realize it’s hilarious for an American to be implying that someone is meddling in our elections to force in a leader that’s aligned with our interests, and against the interests of the people of the country, as if it’s all unfair for that to happen.
The secret ingredient is misinformation.
