“French Prime Minister, Attal, explained that supporting Ukraine is very important because if the country falls, the European Union and France, in particular, will be in a dangerous position.”
I am so pleasantly surprised by France. Respects.
Because they have the legion, that has close to zero political consequences to deploy?
Yes, do it!
Just call it special military operation, securing borders and peace in the region.
Mabye the french are alright after all
Between the lines:
We see any sort of agressive shenanigans in transnistria, we will go to some “exercises” in the border.
Also kinda diagonally (but a LOT less probable): border with Belarus.
For once Macron is completely right. Nato should guard rear areas and provide air defense/border security along the border with Belarus.
Putins nuclear threats are hollow. He relies upon them to trigger fear in cowards which he then exploits conventionally. Firing a nuke at nato would trigger an exchange he can’t possibly win.
Well Macron isn’t wrong.
Please do it. I want 50 miles of the Russian border seized. Let them negotiate to get it back
France isn’t a small military power nor a small EU nation… if they’re willing to put troops in, then it’s more or less over for Russia’s ambitions.
But Scholz said that this is already happening.
I say. Deploy Nato troops on the contested areas of Ukraine and let Putin take one step further. Let his pigs fire the first shot
let our french friends helpout Moldova to cleanup some putin warlords.
I’d say at the very least, if he actually intends this which would be awesome is just put them in positions at the front where all they have to do is defend and maintain. Like along Belarus or something like that. Then Ukraine can use its resources it has there elsewhere on offense. I think that’d be a great “compromise” for people who don’t want to outright fight Russia and risk a nuclear world war but also help Ukraine out immensely being able to use its resources elsewhere. Ukraine has proven with resources they are not afraid to get their hands dirty and can secure the win. I don’t necessarily think that boots on the ground necessarily has to mean in the middle of combat in this instance. But hey if they want to open a can of whoop ass then all the power to em!
Shits been going on for far too long. It’s about time the free world puts boots on the ground and putin in a pine box.
Putin used the “little green men” rouse during the original invasion when it was obviously Russian troops. We should use his own tactics and remove insignias and neither confirm or deny it.
I will never make a French surrendering joke again if they actually do this
I am praying for this to happen. And I am not even religious. The Ukrainians deserve our utmost respect, our support and an end to this terrible tragedy. Western interventions, direct support and military action are the shortest way to peace. The long peace is over. It is time to show dictators that, if necessary, democracies are willing to fight for our freedom, for our way of life. Fuck Putin, slava Ukraini!
If France does this I hope we in the UK support them with troops.
I’ll believe it once it happens. Now it’s all just hypothetical, ten threads a day.
Ive supported full military intervention by at least air, naval, logistics, and electronics forces (and maybe ground combat troops in defensive positions to free Ukr army for offense) as to the US purely to defend our interests in the area using the assurances as a basis to demonstrate to dictators that there is much risk even in oblique moves against the interests of republics and that such moves might draw full conventional military response. Dictators never stop with the crazy genocidal expansionism once they start and it started long before Ukraine. Nuclear threats have proceeded weekly for years so we are already clearly considered a direct enemy of the RF govt mobsters.
I think Putin is genuinely puzzled that the republics have not sent at least more logistics personnel and air assets. He certainly has his propaganda assets including top politicians attacking UK, the US, and Poland and Germany constantly even if western media doesn’t cover it enough. Yes, that is partially for show to Russians, and the translators in the West have even been threatened for presenting it on Youtube but it is also a linestepping maneuver to see how much more advantage he can get without any risks since Putin knows that the leaders do get briefings on his media attacks and no response makes it ok.
France seems to understand what other countries don’t right now. It’s not going to stop with Ukraine. It’s time to stop tip toeing around Russia. NATO needs to show some more teeth. Open the flood gates give Ukraine what they need.
Why not send the french foreign legion to Ukraine? Could claim that all of them are on their vacation.
France could deal with Russia on their own i’m fairly confident of that.
Bravo to our brothers in the Auld Alliance. Showing more balls than the rest of the world combined.
France saved the day in the American war for independence. Is this a potential repeat?
Finally a country that realizes what Shitcan’s end game is.
If any sovereign nation wants to pay their citizens to join UA that would just be amazing.
Unfortunately some Western lives would be lost in the process but if no one is forced to go and the ones that do are compensated properly it will be a good deal in a long run.
I kept waiting for these comments by Macron to be walked back at some point but seems France fully understands the gravity of the situation. Can’t wait to hear more details on timing and what will actually be provided!
​
Vive la France! Slava Ukraini!
France should be allowed to reclaim their 1812 borders from the land Russia stole when it aggressively attacked Napoleon in Moscow
All you motherfuckers on the internet who make jokes about the French being cowards or surrender monkeys can officially STFU – also go learn some history about French resistance.
And I say that as a British person, really annoys me when people overlook the *insane* bravery shown by the resistance that contributed massively to the war effort.
