Macron warns Russian frontline advances could mean troops sent to UA

1. Send them already

2. I hope the rest of NATO will do the same.

3. Well obviously, its quite hard to make advances without troops.

   On a serious note everybody knows nato and everybody else will not send anyone, why he keeps bringing it up is weird given how scared they are of this mythical “escalation”

4. Macron order -> France send troops to Ukraine = not anymore a Russia vs Ukrain war.

   This war will drag all Europe into it. Kinda worry, I don’t want war, I don’t anymore destructions. I did not sign for this, I did not vote for this.

   Why our leaders thinks we will follow them blindly into any shit they put on table?

5. It is high time that Russia’s hegemonic policy along with its poisonous propaganda finally stopped

6. Ok, let’s assume that does happen.

   Next would be direct conflict between Russian troops and the French troops. Ignoring how much escalation there is or who wins the battles, soon thereafter body bags start arriving in Paris.

   Does Macron have the political capital to take thousands of casualties? This isn’t some low intensity anti insurgency operation where the body bags only trinkle back home.

7. Less talking about imaginary scenarios and more sending military equipment.

8. Well, would you look at that. Some French cojones. My man!

   TIL: I like Macron

9. Just send the NATO troops… i don’t understand why we need to wait for worse conditions 🤦‍♂️, we should have a strategy to enter in better conditions not worse conditions… Italy 🇮🇹

10. This is just an obvious bluff and the more times he repeats it without doing anything, the more Russian troops advance, the more it backfires and makes him look like a weak leader desperately trying to save face following the initial fiasco with Ukraine.

11. This really will not help Macron public opinion in France.

12. Are we running out of Ukrainians already?

13. Macron is itching at sending the troops there.

14. How about cranking up Europe’s weapons industry and letting Ukrainians do the job. That sounds like a cheaper option to me.

15. It reminds me of an old Bugs Bunny video..

    “I dare you to cross this line” and then he keeps redrawing the lines.

    Does anyone remember that?

16. Talk is cheap.

17. R/Europe living up to the reputation of being the bastion of Macronism shoring up his political base in the Baltics

18. Micron is the archetype of “speak big and carry a small stick”. France has sent much less help than Germany and all he does is run his mouth. The initial shock value has worn off.

    The more he keeps repeating this and the more he keeps doing the bare minimum, and often far less than other European countries, the fewer people will believe him.

19. If he want to send troops the best time is now not later when they have to fight alone.
