Dear Macron:
See Ukraine and Georgia for examples of Russia being a partner and enjoy your higher heating bills this winter when they raise rates on supplies...

French President Emmanuel Macron has called for involving Russia in the process of providing security in Europe...

Might work - then again it could be 'the chickens inviting the FOX to protect them because they're too cheap to pony up their share of defense money.'

Either way I do NOT want to have our men lose ONE DROP OF BLOOD for these people. They wouln't be there for us if we needed them anyhow ... How do we know that? Because if they won't pay their share for protecting their OWN BUTTS they sure as hell won't give up anything to protect ours.

"Europe can no longer rely on the US to provide its security."

"I call for us to start considering these issues with our partners in the broadest sense of the word, that is, with Russia," Macron stressed.

Security from whom? NATO was formed to use our blood and our treasure to protect Western Europe from Russia (USSR). If Europe wants to tutn to Russia why should we keep pissing hundreds of billions of dollars away in NATO???

Isn't this going to confuse the French Socialist loving American Left? After all, they are pursuing Trump to the ends of the earth for allegedly colluding with Russia while France wants to talk to Russia about providing security to Europe.

Yep, TASS is about as reliable as the New York Times.

Heh, the last time Poland relied on France and Russia for any type of security, the latter invaded them and the former ignored said invasion.

This may have something to do with Macron’s every more frantic posturing.

France, YouGov poll:
President Macron Approval Rating

Approve: 27% (-5)
Disapprove: 62% (+3)

Field work: 25/07/18 – 26/07/18
Sample size: 1,017

The source is Tass - the Russian news agency.

Macron wants “a new dialogue on cybersecurity issues, chemical weapons, conventional weapons, territorial conflicts, space security, the protection of polar regions” with Russia.

“a mandatory prerequisite for achieving real progress in relations with Moscow is significant progress in regulating the Ukrainian crisis”

That is a translation of polite French calling for Russia to mend its ways.

That would be like the hens asking the fox for protection.

All the while inviting all of the chicken snakes that will come, into their country.

He can thank his lucky pommes frites that he didn’t have to say that about the USA, in German.

France’s uniforms are blue on the outside side and red on the inside. Makes for quickly switching sides when the going gets tough!

My uncle was in an airborne unit in France in the early 60’s. He was around De Gaulle some. He despised the man until the day he died!

France sidling up to the Russians, their enemy that’s just shocking! I think we should take a hard look at NATO. Poland and countries who really want to preserve their freedom need our help. France, Germany and many other NATO nations pay lip service to their own defense. It’s France for God’s sake, how can anyone take them serious.

I think this is as funny as it gets. Congress went nutz when Trump suggested that we need to move our troops out of Europe and said there was no longer any reason for NATO to exist.

Now the Europeans aren't sure we have a role in Europe because we're no longer playing Sugar Daddy. I bet Trump is heart broken.
