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.

They’re okay with war because it won’t be them holding the famas, it will be me or other french people.

Fuck them.

Putin wants to take over Europe. You're okay with that?

And how do you imagine that?

Tales of Putin willing to take over Europe are straight up fearmongering. Most countries in Europe are part of NATO and subject to mutual defense clause. Ukraine is not, which us why it was possible to attack it in the first place (and which is why it desperately wants in).

Attacking any of the NATO countries is straight up suicidal.

Please do not let hysteria sift into your brain, for this is the very thing corrupt politicians use to do terrible things.

To be fair, Ukraine is part of a defense agreement too. A shame one of the signatories is the aggressor...
