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.

          I see the two of you don’t understand how a military works then. You don’t join a military, and then bitch and complain if you are sent to fight, it’s literally what you signed up for. If in this specific situation you are not French, you should also probably just keep your mouth shut

            Look at yourself, you are talking like an human without soul. People are not robots or machines they join the military because perhaps they believe in justice and want to defend their own people from villains. There’s no justice in fighting a war for business, there’s no justice in fighting wars for corrupted politicians at the expenses of innocent people.

            We are all humans and everyone should be allowed and encouraged to talk not to keep his mouth shout.

                Politicians and rulers are bad actors and professional liars who use everything as a leverage to get more wealth and power. Stalin fought the nazi in WWII, was he a good human being? fuck no he was a dictator himself tripping on power.

                Politician who these days call for freedom on one hand while supporting a genocide in the other are scum, it’s not that hard to see.

              and you don’t understand the difference between a career soldier and a conscript. Let me enlighten you:

              As a conscript you will be drafted only in a defense situation, an actual war in your own country. Simply spoken when the Russians are at your doorstep.

              A career soldier can send to missions either an official NATO one or one approved by your country’s commanding officer of your army.

          Any corrupted politician dream is to take over other countries, western politicians wet dream is to take over russia too.

          Unlike corrupted politicians i do not support putin, i don’t have pictures shaking hands with him and laughing, i don’t have mutual friends with him, i don’t have a boat parked in the same dock next to his, i don’t have business associations with him and i didn’t sign weapons deals with russia a bunch of years ago like many EU countries did.

    As much as I dislike Macron, I’ll just remember that he was one of the European leaders that was favoring finding a diplomatic solution the most during the earlier weeks of the war. He’s probably being more opportunistic than brave, honest or committed, but at least you can’t accuse him of being a bloodlusting warmonger.

      Do people not see how insane this is?

      They are brainwashed by propaganda so they don’t. Governments spend billions on it. For the same reason they celebrate and cheer on weapons manufacturing and war, not understanding that weapons are designed to kill people not to help them and that war only brings destruction.

        War is insane, so it is unfortunate that Russia has unleashed it again. But fortunately we are working on helping Ukraine stop Russia from killing more people and bringing more destruction to Ukraine.

        Edit: I love how pro-Russian shills are downvoting me without being able to give a single real reason why one should blame this war on anyone else but Russia.

      I have no desire for American troops to fight in Ukraine. For all those with the bloodlust. Go enlist.

      I wouldn’t go. I’d just resign my commission and wash my hands of it.

      I’m tried of everyone looking to America to come save them and they whine about Americans after we do.

        I suggest you to run a simple wikipedia search on any EU or world leader to see how much corrupted and evil they are. I also suggest you to pick up a good history book and read it. The only war that should matters for people is that against their own corrupted mafiosi rulers. War between countries and nations are mentally hill games played by politicians greedy for wealth and power. War games between nuclear powers is always a disastrous scenario for people like me and you. It’s not just the threat of total destruction that should concern you, when countries prepares for war they trigger a destructive machine.

          Yes, we know that Russia invaded Ukraine because of a mentally ill game by a dude greedy for wealth and power. And now we unfortunately are put in the position of having to stop his quest for wealth and power lest it consume the whole of Europe. Or do you think that the guy hungry for wealth and power will stop pursuing those things because of diplomacy?

              If the West wants war so bad, why are Western countries dithering so hard about giving equipment to Ukraine? Shouldn’t that be profitable for them? Shouldn’t the US congress approve the aid to Ukraine in a heartbeat if all they want is to enrich themselves if war is so profitable?

              Why is it okay for Russia to profit from war, but not for people trying to stop Russia from expanding their war profiteering? Does every European country need to become a target for Russian war profiteering?

              Who was it that attacked Ukraine? Regardless of any past ambitions, even if the west “wants war”, would there be any war in Europe at the present moment if Russia had not invaded Ukraine?

                They aren’t, did you read the article i posted that says the west has been helping ukraine for a decade already? Did you miss the part where ukraine is getting f-16, already got abrams, german tanks, thousand of javelins, illegal cluster munitions, drones and all the rest? Did you ever bothered checking the sky traffic near ukraine for the past 2 years?

                Why is it okay for Russia to profit from war?

                Ask that to your government who is in business partnership with china and other countries selling weapons to russia.

                would there be any war in Europe at the present moment if Russia had not invaded Ukraine?

                There are plenty of wars around the globe you don’t hear about in the media
