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

What cold war has to do with the objective fact that Russia invaded Ukraine?

It seems so easy for you to pretend Ukraine’s woes are simply nobody else’s problem. I wonder how many apologists talked the same way about Crimea.

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:

  1. One of the top grain supplier.
  2. One of the top xeon gas exporter. It is used in chip fabs.
  3. 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.
  4. 2014 Ukraine overthrows soviets. Suddenly actual strides towards democracy.
  5. Wanted to join EU and NATO

russia was:.

  1. Top gas supplier to EU.
  2. Top coal supplier to EU.
  3. Crumbling economically already.

Now. Imagine what is the biggest threat to an authoritarian state

  1. that is already slowly collapsing
  2. 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.

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?
