France doesn’t need to strike terrorist targets in Syria, National Front leader Marine Le Pen said today, saying it would be better off aligning with Russia and its greater resources to cope with terrorists in the Middle Eastern country.
Speaking on RTL Radio’s Grand Jury program, the far-right politician said supporting Bashar al-Assad was the best option because terrorist organization Daesh would take over if his government fell.
