I don’t understand why Macron needs to start a war with Russia? I don't understand. France and Russia have always had normal, friendly relations. Why do we need to spoil everything and start an escalation that will be a nuclear war? This is crazy! Maybe Macron has a headache? How can we explain the fact that Macron stubbornly wants to start a nuclear war on the continent and kill everyone?
@sergeysergeev7564
March 3, 2024 at 5:35 pm
Macron proposed starting a nuclear war. Is he crazy?
He understands that sending troops to Ukraine means starting a direct war with Russia. It doesn’t matter how many soldiers there will be and who they will be, but what matters is that they will be soldiers of the French army on the territory of Ukraine in the war with Russia.
Russia will immediately strike France with nuclear weapons! And he will do the right thing!
No one is forcing Macron to make such stupid decisions!
Even Putin says that this will be a bad event, don’t get involved in someone else’s conflict! But Macron stubbornly wants a nuclear war.

God damn those Nazi Mayotte Africans are racist- opposing illegal immigration. I mean if Europeans oppose such migration they are called racist so it is only fair we call Mayotte population of same.
Anyways, it's funny how dumb Comoros decided not to remain under the governance of France when they were given the opportunity to but now few decades after they run to the island(Mayotte) which chose to remain with France.

Snippet: The very best of all situations, ought to be for each racial group to build their undeveloped land and come up with programs to resolve Jobs shortage for their own people. Afterall, each racial group has been given a land of their own so that they'll have a place they can call home forever and feel comfy being home with their own clan or kind — no discrimination or racial prejudice to get upset about. Why not Print and use the printer money to build your land and start an economy for your own people to support basic needs and stop migrating to other racial groups and expect them to supply you with a good Job and free food — this is not so good but shameful. People since the early century have always relied on farming for their sustenance and it worked then, and there's no reason why it couldn't work in modern times. Could laziness be the reason? Immigration policy for all 7-continents should only be treated for a short visit — for those who are interested in touring other land and society. God bless. feb2024
