French President Emmanuel Macron warned Western powers against showing any signs of weakness to Russia as he reiterated his position Thursday that sending Western troops into Ukraine shouldn’t be ruled out, though he said today’s situation doesn’t require it.

...

“We’re not in that situation today,” he said, but added that “all these options are possible.”

Macron, who is the commander-in-chief of the country’s armed forces, declined to describe in which situation France would be ready to send troops. He said the responsibility for prompting such a move would lie with Moscow — “It wouldn’t be us” — and said France would not lead an offensive into Ukraine against Russia.

I will bet good money that the weasel Macron thinks that he will survive a nuclear WW3.

The Little Napoleon should stick to swapping spit with his Tranny Granny.

[BenLurkin]

Western France, right?

[ealgeone]

France will send troops to Ukraine?? I’ll believe it when I see it.

[jacknhoo]

France is going to get the head of NATO nuked.

I will bet good money that the weasel Macron thinks that he will survive a nuclear WW3.

I think Macron thinks, rightly, that Russia won't think of nuking Paris because the Russians navy doesn't have the ability to sink all four French Triomphant-class ballistic missile submarines. If even one of them survives, it can launch 160 or so nuclear warheads at Russia, more than enough to do the job.

Ironic an hour after his speech Russia launch a large wave of drones, shelling, and military attacks. Maybe in response?

Ukraine is going to need more drones. They have some. But not enough. Germany should be leading the way with the drones. It’s the only way that Ukraine can maintain their defense at the front. Otherwise, the Russians will continue to go on the offensive.

[MinorityRepublican]

If even one of them survives, it can launch 160 or so nuclear warheads at Russia, more than enough to do the job.

Just need to aim the nuclear warheads at Moscow and St. Petersburg, that'll destroy the government.

[Trumpisourlastchance]

France elected this Rothschild Globalist Satanist degenerate 2 times. They deserve what they get.

[Alter Kaker]

You’re calling Macron a Rothschild? What does that mean? That some kind of Jewish slur?

[353FMG]

Is Macron’s opinion of Westrn troops include French troops?

[rxh4n1]

“Is Macron’s opinion of Westrn troops include French troops?”

Doubtful. It’s usually the Foreign Legion, rarely actual Frenchmen. As usual, it will be the USA and maybe a Brit brigade, if they have one.

Thanks for destroying my morning coffee with that sentence. . .
