Last month, Macron caused quite a stir when he suggested deploying Western troops against Russia. But, this seems to be quite a shift in how Macron sees the war in Ukraine, so in this video, we take a look at Macron’s Ukraine strategy, how it’s changed over time, and what explains this shift.

    I think France is pissed over it's losses in Africa, so it is going after Russia's other interests. Question is how they can maintain it. Good strategy in central Europe, as after Ukraine, odds are Russia will have to deal with central Asia and ignore any ideas of pushing into other parts of Europe (even if that was possibel, which it probably isnt).

    You can't see the forest because of the trees. Everything will end very quickly and out of control. Russia's nuclear weapons are the main resource that it has not yet used. Russia is large and there are places to escape radiation, but Europe is 4 times smaller and there will be few survivors there.

    Very interesting analysis. Much less "passionate" than the French media on the matter.

    Russia is kicking France out of Africa. Macron doesn't like that.

    I think Macron needs to be tested for chemical or biological poisoning of some kind. Seriously, he's gone mad. He's now making statements about the forceful seizure of Crimea from Russia. There is no other explanation; perhaps an STD ? …. Maybe Syphilis ? ….. How else can his public statements be explained, without a medical condition ? …. Maybe he isn't aware of the fact that Ukraine has been attempting to take Crimea for the last two years. Should someone tell him ? …. Maybe his STD clinic doctor ? ….. Maybe he contracted something from his wife ?

    He will u-turn again. In fact, I believe he only u-turned in order to u-turn again and this is well supported by the fact that he is not actually providing any support, hence remaining a favorite with Russia. Remember that they are incapable of not using double talk and he is trying to demonstrate the same ability to them.

    most of these leaders in Europe have been blackmailed into supporting these crazyy wars , anybody who supports war doesnt make sense

    Macron sounds like he's been possessed by Selensky. LOL But nothing new there. The guy got his votes because of the CJA. So he must return some favors!

    The n at the end of macron is too strong, it's better to leave the N out altogether than over pronounce. Not to sound snarky but his name is not macaroon, and there are enough clips online to get a good idea for pronouncing it correct. It would be like inserting a y sound to rishi- any Brit would point out rishy sunaak would be wrong, though doubtless they probably be entertained.
    Again sorry if this comes off as snarky

    Macron is right, if Russia wins this war, Europe will be less safe.
