The war in Ukraine is “existential for our Europe and for France”, Mr Macron said in the interview on France 2 and TF1.
“Do you think that the Poles, the Lithuanians, the Estonians, the Romanians and the Bulgarians could remain at peace for a second [in the event of a Russian victory in Ukraine]?” he asked. “If Russia wins this war, Europe’s credibility would be reduced to zero.”
Second moment in recent history when the french end up being the tellers of uncomfortable truths
Maybe they should start supporting Ukraine a bit more then, so far they are lacking in comparison to the rest of europe
Yeah, sadly I see Macron’s statement about french troops in Ukraine as nothing more than hot air. The last I heard, France was blocking buying artillery shells from non-EU sources, even though those shells could be shipped right now.
Not anymore but they where up untill recently.

Don’t forget about Charles de Gaulle warning Kennedy against a war in Vietnam
