"We will do whatever it takes to ensure that Russia cannot win this war" The President of the Republic Emmanuel Macron estimated that the sending of Western troops in the future to Ukraine cannot "be excluded".

"There is no consensus today to send ground troops in an official assumed and endorsed manner. But dynamically, nothing should be excluded," declared the head of state.

The president did not wish to say more about France's position on this issue, citing a "strategic ambiguity that I accept."

But "I absolutely did not say that France was not in favor of it," he warned. "I will not remove the ambiguity of this evening's debates by giving names. I am saying that it was mentioned among the options," he added.

This option had never been previously mentioned by Franve. Questioned at the end of the meeting at the Elysee, Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte assured him that this question of sending ground troops had not been on the agenda...

These people are really being evil, they want this war and all the chaos that would come with it, likely to consolidate more power to themselves and reduce the population.

For a little bit just a little bit but this is in essence a European Union meeting-NATO nations excluding the US.

Trudeau may have been there tonight for Canada he was in Ukraine over the weekend for show with Giorgia Meloni of Italy and the EU’s President Ursula von der Leyen.

If Ukes try to take out the Crimea Bridge with long-range NATO supplies missiles, their bridges on the Dnieper will suffer the same fate. Do they really want to do something that stupid?

She was a plant Italian politics had exhausted Berlusconi and then the same happened to Matteo Salvini to front for the “Right”.

They needed a replacement and this woman who laid out on a beach almost naked in 2015 getting a guy to impregnate her became the vehicle to suck people in.

She’s Pro-Family cause she did that you know made a baby with some guy and so on.

We should consider that story as we seem to be turning our politics like choices for VP into some sort of a “swimsuit competition”.

Send troops. France hasn’t surrendered to anyone in a while. Please. I will kick in $100.

Indeed, EU nations could quite possibly send troops to Ukraine. They would probably do it If the Kremlin try a second invasion of KIEV (which miserably failed the first time). Nothing is off the table.

Russia’s own version of Nato, the “CSTO” seems (for now) not supporting Putin’s warmongering in Ukraine. I hope that’s continues.

Russia’s version of NATO is crumbling, with even some of its closest allies frustrated by Putin’s war in Ukraine

Will Macron ride in the lead tank with the turret hatch open to the cheers of a grateful France? Carrying two pearl handled revolvers and wearing jodhpurs? If the war thing goes downhill he can do insurance ads with Shaq.
