PARIS, Feb 26 (Reuters) - France's President Emmanuel Macron said on Monday there was no consensus on sending troops to Ukraine, but the subject could not be ruled out.
"There is no consensus at this stage... to send troops on the ground," Macron said after hosting some 20 countries allied to Ukraine.
"Nothing should be excluded. We will do everything that we must so that Russia does not win."
Saved you a click. Yes, that's it. That's the entire "article". A total of 4 sentences. What exactly was the point of writing such a short article?
I swear these people just want war. How do you think Putin's going to react to that? France and Germany have been pushing too hard for my liking to beef up weapons manufacturing. It's as if someone told them war=profits and rebuilding afterwards=profits and a nice way to get rid of an entire generation of problems.
Maybe someone should thell them the current generation isn't ready to mindlessly throw their lives away for these aholes. Or you know do your effing job and be a diplomat?
You have no idea what you're talking about. Another war in Europe would wreck the place, like the last two times it happened, it would cost hundreds of billions to repair and rebuild. No one is making money out of this.
The addition of more troops would undoubtedly be a large escalation resulting in further mobilisation in Russia. If you were a french soldier, would you be willing to go to the front without some much more serious negotiations occuring? Have we learned nothing since 9/11 and fighting on foreign soil?
There's nothing to discuss.
Putin invaded a sovereign country and the only acceptable outcome is returning all of Ukraine's lost territory including Crimea, Ukraine should have to sacrifice absolutely nothing.
That doesn't require a discussion, it requires Putin to pack up and leave.
