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.
That isn’t our job. Our job is to protect our interest.
Going to war with Russia is not in our interest. I fully support sending weapons but I don’t support US boots s on the ground and neither would the American people.
We invaded Iraq due to violations of the 1st gulf war ceasefire.
We invaded Afghanistan to dismantle the terrorist group that attacked America on 9/11.
This isn’t a fight America needs to be directly involved with. If they attack an ally, that’s a different story.
Now with the Ukrainian nuclear agreement. I felt We have an excuse to join at the start of the war but Biden didn’t follow through. If Russia drops a nuke, I feel we are obligated to put boots on the ground due to that treaty.
