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.

          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.

            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.

              Russia has been using long range weapons for 2 years against targets all across Ukraine, including its Western border. So this is simply false:

              those usually indicate that Russia is putting boots on the ground soon

              But you would know that if you were:

              paying attention to the fronts

              But you clearly weren’t. Russia can’t do anything with Odessa, they spend months to take mere villages. And by take I mean destroy them.

      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.
