Guest Post by Paul Craig Roberts
I have no idea why French President Macron is talking so aggressively about war with Russia, saying he will send French soldiers to Odessa and telling Russia’s President Putin “We are a nuclear power and We are ready,” or who might have put him up to taking such an aggressive position.
I have been writing for two years that Putin needs to end the conflict as the war continues to widen and will spin out of control. The way Putin has fought this conflict is a strategic blunder of the worst kind. Russia should have seized, Kharkiv, Odessa, and Kiev immediately and left the Ukrainian army trapped in the east cut off from supplies. If President Macron does put French soldiers in Odessa, Putin cannot complete the obvious military task in Ukraine without going to war with NATO.
Russia has gained absolutely nothing by the pointless, endless prolongation of the conflict. The war has widened, and now European leaders are talking about preparing for war with Russia. Two more countries, Sweden and Finland, have joined NATO, so Ukraine was kept out at the cost of two other additions.
Le Monde: Macron admits that “he will send his people to Odessa” 14 March 2024 Source: Le Monde
“The French authorities are considering sending their troops to Ukraine from 2023, Le Monde newspaper reported, citing sources.
“According to them, the issue of sending the French military to Ukraine was discussed in “the strictest secrecy” at the Security Council at the Elysee Palace on June 12, 2023. Shortly before that, the French president spoke in favor of Ukraine’s early entry into NATO.
“Le Monde writes that on the eve of the second anniversary of the full-scale invasion, on February 21, 2024, Macron, after the ceremony of transferring the ashes of the French Resistance movement member Misak Manushyan to the Pantheon, raised the topic of Ukraine in a conversation with those who congratulated him on his “beautiful speech”. “In any case, in the next year I will have to send some of my people to Odessa,” Macron said, according to the publication.
“French Army Chief of Staff General Pierre Schill told the publication that Macron’s words are “primarily a political and strategic message” to Russia about its readiness for such steps. The task of the military in this situation is “to prepare as many options as possible to help the president make political and military decisions.”
“Emmanuel Macron said on February 26, speaking after a conference of leaders of 20 European countries, that he does not rule out sending NATO troops to Ukraine. Many Western countries, including Germany and the United States, opposed it. The Kremlin responded that the appearance of NATO troops in Ukraine would lead to a direct conflict with Russia.
“The French president clarified on March 4 that the authorities are not considering sending French troops to Ukraine, but are “starting discussions and thinking about everything that can be done to support Ukraine” on its territory. Macron later added that ” not ruling something out does not mean doing it.”
“At a meeting with leaders of French political parties on March 7, Macron said that there should be no restrictions on supporting Ukraine. Deputy Head of the Russian Security Council Dmitry Medvedev said in response that ” then Russia no longer has any red lines in relation to France.”

The answer ‘Is blowing in the wind!’
If it ain’t, it ought to be shortly!
The question should be whose shit will be in the wind if these psycho perverts like Macron prevail in their stupidity.
“I have no idea why French President Macron is talking so aggressively about war with Russia”…
Really? It couldn’t be he is owned and controlled by the Rothschild Central Bankers…
Engagement rule #1 No battle PLAN survives first contact!
Armchair quarterback much?
It also doesn’t make much sense to stretch your own supply lines thin.He’ll take Odesa PERMANENTLY to Romania and be done with it!….that good enough for ya’…????.

Macron wants what?
What business is it of his?
His own country is completely fucked from immigration, and his chosen course of action is to say “Look at the Ukrainian Squirrel!”
What the French word for douche?
Paul, I’m glad that you aren’t in charge of the military of any country. It’s hard to feature the thought that you keep writing this same kind of thing without ever examining the basic logic in your position. I think that it’s because you won’t read the comment sections on the few sites that allow comments on your articles.
Pro tip Paul: It is all scripted.
Which means statements like this:
“I have been writing for two years that Putin needs to end the conflict as the war continues to widen and will spin out of control. The way Putin has fought this conflict is a strategic blunder of the worst kind.”
Prove one of two possible truths:
A. You are a complete dupe.
B. You are paid, controlled oppo.
dope, not dupe
You misspelled “mongoloid”.
You know, one of our biggest blind spots as a society is the notion that somehow, today’s rulers are less insane or more competent than those of the past whose errors we seem determined to repeat. They still want to ignore “General Winter” in Russia or that the goat humpers run the “Graveyard of Empires.” “Bring democracy to Haiti.” Ad infinitum.
Perhaps Paul, if the U.S. had not overthrown a democratically elected Government in Ukraine and the CIA had not 10 Bases in Ukraine to destabilize Russia and The West would have keeped its promises to Russia instead of lying to President Putin and if the Neo-Nazis of Ukraine had not murdered 13,000 Russian Speaking Ukrainians through their constant shelling of civilian populations, there would be peace and Russia would not have felt compelled to act. Just sayin’……………
Dadburnit, Paul. Instead of one Mr. Putin being responsible for solving the world’s problems… how about fraternal French natives roll Madame Guillotine out to cut the strings of their puppeteer elite?
Followed by citizens of the West resuming their messy duty as final authority over pirates that commandeer our Ship of State.
There was this chihuahua down the street that went around biting people’s ankles.
Whenever someone stopped and turned around to face it, it would run away.
Then when they turned their back, it would run right up to them and start biting again.
This writer is no chess player. And, France is no military power, unless you bring in Nukes or the Legion. The Legion can definitely fight, but they’re not French….
Dear Paul, please notice that when the Nukes start flying this Summer, it will be brave young men and innocent civilian populations that will die by the billions and not the Politicians who started the War
“If the Politicians who start the wars, had to fight the wars, there would be a lot less wars” The late great Radio Commentator Paul Harvey.
Macron is queer. Queers aren’t like normal people. They’re queer. Macron may have ideas, fixations, ideology, thoughts and the like or he may not. Were he not queer it would be easier to see into his motivations and influences, but, as he is in fact queer, it is not possible to see beyond the sexual perversion and resulting psychological chaos and damage produced by that twisted sexuality. It is really impossible to sort his thinking if in fact there is any there at all.
