Corbyn is an old school leftist who lends Russia and its foreign policy views the benefit of doubt because of ideology not because of funding. I think he genuinely doesn’t think Russia plays as debalitating a role as most of his counterparts do. He has to clean this message up now that he’s a leader, but the changes in messaging shows his aides and advisors are not on one page.

I wouldn’t be surprised if there’s a split between his far left advisors and more party establishment aides. I’d say his statements on Syria reflect a similar world view. The evidence line reminds me of the speculation about chemical weapons attacks in Syria.

PARIS (Reuters) - France on Wednesday said it would be in touch with Britain in the coming hours to coordinate a response to a nerve agent attack on a Russian spy, which London has blamed on Russia, after an earlier muted reaction to Britain’s allegations.

British Prime Minister Theresa May earlier on Wednesday announced that Britain was expelling 23 Russian diplomats because it had received no explanation for the poisoning of Sergei Skripal, a Russian former double agent, and his daughter with a Soviet-made nerve toxin.

In contrast to German Chancellor Angela Merkel and U.S. President Donald Trump who assured May they were taking her government’s views seriously, President Emmanuel Macron and other French officials have declined to point a finger directly at Russia.


French government spokesman Benjamin Griveaux said it was too early for Paris to decide whether action should be taken and a decisions would be made only once a case of Russian involvement was proven.

Foreign Minister Jean-Yves Le Drian later expressed full confidence in the investigations being carried out by Britain, though he too was careful not to say directly that Russia was behind the attack.

France says to coordinate response soon with Britain on spy poisoning

Macron and his admin are russian agents too

France’s nuanced reaction was in line with Macron’s efforts since coming into office to build a new relationship with Russia’s Vladimir Putin.

Rather than directly confronting Putin through threats and megaphone diplomacy, he has emphasized private dialogue, while pushing for a restoration of business and cultural ties despite existing European Union sanctions on Moscow.
