Joe Biden shares picture of ice cream trip with Macron

A conflict between Russia and NATO would be inevitable if Western troops go to Ukraine, Russian President Vladimir Putin's spokesman said today.
The Kremlin's comments come after French President Emmanuel Macron did not rule out putting boots on the ground in Ukraine as Kyiv struggles to fend off Russia's full-scale invasion.
While Macron noted that there was no consensus about troops at this stage, Ukraine has not asked allies for soldiers to fight its cause and other Western governments even scrambled Tuesday to insist troops were not set to be deployed, the mere suggestion sparked a furious response from Moscow.
“In this case, we need to talk not about the likelihood, but about the inevitability [of a conflict]. That’s how we evaluate it,” said Dmitry Peskov, Putin's press secretary.
“These countries must also evaluate and be aware of this, asking themselves whether this corresponds to their interests, as well as the interests of the citizens of their countries,” Peskov added.
Macron’s comments came at the tail end of a summit in Paris, where EU leaders gathered Monday to discuss ongoing support for Kyiv. Macron said defeating Russia is “indispensable” to Europe’s security and stability, and that EU leaders discussed the topic of Western troops in a "very free and direct" manner during the summit.
A domestic backlash quickly grew Tuesday against Macron's comments, and was followed by Western allies pushing back against the floated move to put soldiers into Ukraine.
German Chancellor Olaf Scholz said leaders in Paris agreed that “everyone must do more for Ukraine,” but that “one thing is clear: There will be no ground troops from European states or NATO.”

China has said that NATO troops is a red line, and they would invade Taiwan in “self defense” to prevent it from declaring independence in such a scenario.
Reasonable on Chinas part.
The morons running the country have wanted war with Russia for a long time.
Under Clinton SACEUR general Wesley Clark ordered soldiers to fire on the Russians at Pristina, they thankfully refused that order.
Obama and his Syria agitation.
Hillary during the 2016 election rattling the saber and beating the drum of war with Russia.
Of course, we know that the French can put boots on the ground - and guns, and ammo belts…
The Deep State is not very deep, intellectually.
China said that any NATO ground troops actively involved in Ukraine would be a red line. They would invade Taiwan as a response.
We have to protect our investment in Bio-warfare labs we have in place in Ukraine, disguised as CIA ‘bases’ by the presstitutes.
“ China said that any NATO ground troops actively involved in Ukraine would be a red line. They would invade Taiwan as a response.”
They know their time is running out. They have less than a year to make up their minds on invading Taiwan. They need any excuse to begin their invasion.
I sure hope the brain dead war cheerleaders listen to Putin. He is much like Trump, takes care of his people and does what he says.
The collective West and NATO didn’t listen last time, in fact, tricked Putin ( by Merkels own admission) into the Minsk agreement, giving time for the US to arm up Ukraine…..
Vlad won’t be deceived this time, he said NO NATO or western troops in Ukraine ….it is very simple. Go ahead, make his day….he still holds all the cards.
If Mad Vlad nuked Paristan, it might ironically save whatever is left of French culture.
“They need any excuse to begin their invasion.’
________________________________________________
They’ll have a valid excuse, not just any excuse. Just like Russia had a valid excuse and just the way the globalists are executing it.
I'd call it an opportunity rather than an excuse.
Yawn. And Russia has had troops on the ground in every US adversary since Yalta.
If there are 87,000 new IRS agents, I will bet that half of them are here, at FR. This forum is too “old-school” to produce ESG scores or automatic censorship. So, I expect it gets the lion’s share of field agents chained to their computers. The idea isn’t to “win hearts and minds”, it’s just to saturate the bandwidth and raise blood pressures.
I believe that in the TC interview with Putin, his outlandish retelling of WWII, with Poland starting it, was a less-than-thinly veiled message to the current government of Poland to stay out.
There is an irony in the American Left pretending to be anti-Russian war hawks. They will never turn on their beloved Russia. They just hate Putin as the successor to the Communism they so loved. As a villain, he can deflect from all of their unethical actions, so they don’t have a problem using him as such.
As for the comparison to Trump, I don’t really agree. Putin IS ex-KGB. He’s not above lying, and I think Trump is a better person - for a New Yorker.
I believe that there is already a deal in place, here. Putin and Biden met, before this started. Putin may be protecting Biden’s assets in Ukraine as a part of this and Biden may be forced to go through with this “election”. I suppose we’ll see.
The October Surprise from Biden. Declaration of War
it would not surprise me. The Secrets contained in the Bio Labs cannot be revealed to the World. If it takes a nuclear war to keep the secrets from getting out. So be it.
It has become SOP. Always the same faction creating war and open borders and stealing our treasury.
Obamas 2014 Ukraine puppet zelensky was installed as well. The globalists require Russian natural resources and the slave labor to obtain them.
It’s weird for me to think only Russia and china are left standing against the WEF.
Russia fears nothing more than direct NATO or NATO member involvement. That’s been true since the start of the war. Every threat is to keep NATO countries out.
Ain’t gonna be any nuclear attack from Russia because Russia would be destroyed, or at least its forces in Eastern Europe.
Did not say that countries should intervene, just that Russia desperately wants to prevent it.
This situation is being caused by the withholding of our aid.
Zelensky has nothing to do with Obama and 2014.
