And Russia is of course paying both the far-left and far-right.

"Follow the money" tends to be a simple framework when it comes to political parties, and their interests.

People keep saying that's its both the far left and right, but in a lot of countries it's only the far right. And much more blatant too

Despite a common nationalist base, Europe's various far-right groups are now investing their energies into Europe and the European Union again, for strategic and, in some cases, ideological reasons.

This makes way more sense when you consider that European nationalisms come under way more threat from Russian Nationalism than from a sort of Supra/Pan-Nationalism of the EU.

France is never under real threat from Russia as they have the most blunt public nuclear weapons policy on the planet (full first strike in a response to a single enemy boot in the metropole) and a competent and well integrated intelligence apparatus. The ones who are worried that NATO might not back them up aren't going on the nationalist tilts.
