At a meeting with a range of political parties, the President of France floated a scenario that could potentially lead to French troops deployed in Ukraine.
French President Emmanuel Macron met with parliamentary parties on Thursday. During the meeting Macron said he was open to the possibility of sending troops to Ukraine, as announced by, according to French newspaper L’Independant.
Fabien Roussel, a representative of the French Communist Party, said after the meeting that “Macron referenced a scenario that could lead to intervention [of French troops]: the advancement of the front towards Odesa or Kyiv.”
He noted that the French President showed parliamentarians maps of the possible directions of strikes by Russian troops in Ukraine.
Following the meeting, Jordan Bardella of the far-right National Rally party noted that “there are no restrictions and no red lines” in Macron’s approach.
Ever heard of the cold war? West and Russia have been attacking each others for a century. Most countries in the world are ruled by corrupted mentally hill politicians competing each others for world domination
It has everything to do with it. Ukraine was part of the USSR. NATO was created to counter the USSR. After it broke up and NATO remained they started adding more to the alliance. The alliance crept closer and closer to Russia. If Ukraine joined NATO then that would be the greatest threat to Russia. They don't trust the west.
The alliance didn't creep closer, nations that were previously Soviet colonies flocked to it and used every trick in the book to be allowed into it as soon as possible. This is what national sovereignty looks like. All of this is Russia's fault and they are to blame for it. They and their sycophants have no right to complain about it.
The west and russia have been attacking each others for a century, both blocks are rigged, USA and Russia are both ruled by corrupted murderer mentally hill politicians who crave for wealth and power
History is history, it studies the past. On the 24 of February Putin appeared on television, said that he was about to invade Ukraine, and then we saw Russian rockets hitting Ukrainian cities and tanks crossing the border between two countries. You need a lot of desire to ignore facts in order to blame USA or anyone else for what's happening.
think outside of the box a little my guy - it's been an open proxy war thus far, now the French want to kick things in to the 4th dimension by intervening directly.
A sad backwards gas station's economic interest was threatened. I understand that taking in economic, geopolitical and societal reasons into account is much more effort, but think outside of the Simple World of Conspiracy box.
Ukraine:
One of the top grain supplier.
One of the top xeon gas exporter. It is used in chip fabs.
Was about to be one of the main natural gas suppliers. In 2012 large gas fields were discovered. Terrain with gas pockets overlaps all axis of initial attack.
2014 Ukraine overthrows soviets. Suddenly actual strides towards democracy.
Wanted to join EU and NATO
russia was:.
Top gas supplier to EU.
Top coal supplier to EU.
Crumbling economically already.
Now. Imagine what is the biggest threat to an authoritarian state
that is already slowly collapsing
Has decades long history of corruption, nomenclature - as in no free market
A country that is about to have better prospects of living and roaring GDP, and you dont have to learn another language to migrate! Ukraine. Nextdoors
And what is an Imperialistic Nazi cunt idea other than to start a war? It worked for centuries!
Ukraine, in 2014 was where Poland was in 1990.
Poland had THE SAME problems Ukraine has now. Because of russia, mind you.
Poland had a society that wanted change. Poland joined NATO. Joined EU. And 30 years later has a booming GDP and fastest transformation in Europe.
In 30 years from now, fossil fuels are to be NOT used. The main reason russia has ANY sway and and ANY GDP - gas and oil.
If French wanted to do that, they would be in Ukraine by now. But no, Macron is talking about Odessa and Kyiv, i.e. about very unrealistic targets as of today.
There's been reports of Odessa being attacked with some type of long range explosive.
If you've been paying attention to the fronts, those usually indicate that Russia is putting boots on the ground soon.
Russia needs to close Ukrainian access to the sea. They're losing too many ships to the sea drones. They need to take Odessa to win.
It would be the biggest escalation in this war since the second invasion of 22.
I’d rather have WW3 where we all unite against a genocide rather than stand idly by and tut quietly at them. All diplomatic and non escalating methods have been exhausted already, wouldn’t you think?
What a non-answer. You pretend to be knowledgeable about history, yet you deny the most basic lessons from history, like not allowing expansionist autocrats to wage war.
