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.

          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.

          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.

            western politicians wet dream is to take over russia too.

            Which ones? Please show evidence.

            And you don’t have to like Putin to support him. All you have to do is do what you’re doing and be okay with him taking over Ukraine. To begin with.

              I do not support putin, the ukrainian government or any other corrupted politician. If you do talk for yourself and not for others. I support freedom and justice, always and for everyone. You do not fight for freedom arming and empowering villains and dictatorships.

                Except in Ukraine since you aren’t interested in helping them be free.

                  Are you aware that since 2022 any male between 18 and 60 can’t leave the country and will be arrested if they try to do so? Are you aware that your own government is in business partnership with countries like china who also supply russia in the war?

                    First of all, you don’t know what my government is because I never told you. It might be China for all you know.

                    Secondly, your “they are not free now due to the war, so it’s okay if Putin takes over their country and they lose their freedom in perpetuity” argument is a poor one.

          No. But I don’t want to fight a war that’s not mine. Every single time when a war is starting there are people that suddenly get warlike AF wanting to kill every Russians. You just don’t know what you’re talking about, you feel like doing it because it feels good being the ‘savior’ but you’re just delusional

        Quick reminder that we have a military. There won’t be a draft any time soon and if there is one, we would have other problems. So unless you are in the army (and if you are, you signed for it) you won’t have to “hold the FAMAS”
