French President Emmanuel Macron has openly discussed the possibility of sending European troops to Ukraine to help Kyiv win the war against Russia, a potential major escalation to the largest ground war Europe has seen since World War II.

Though the possibility of Western democracies putting boots on the ground in Ukraine remains remote, Macron’s comments following a summit in support of Ukraine prompted a hawkish response from the Kremlin and sent European leaders scrambling to backtrack. A NATO official told CNN the alliance had “no plans” to deploy combat troops in Ukraine.

German Chancellor Olaf Scholz, who attended the meeting in Paris on Monday, said that while there was a good debate and detailed discussion on the topic, summit participants were “unanimous” in their opinion against deploying troops

Macron had told reporters at a news conference that while he and the other 21 European leaders present did not agree on deploying military personnel, the prospect was discussed openly.

“Nothing should be ruled out,” he said. “We will do anything we can to prevent Russia from winning this war.”

However, a raft of European officials came out Tuesday against such a plan. Among them were some of Ukraine’s more ardent supporters, including the United Kingdom, Poland, Spain and Italy, as well as officials from Hungary and Slovakia, two countries whose leaders have been criticized as pro-Russian.

“What was agreed among ourselves and with each other from the very beginning also applies to the future, namely that there will be no ground troops, no soldiers on Ukrainian soil sent there by European countries or NATO states,” said Scholz.

Wouldn't be the first time...


Between 1778 and 1782 the French provided supplies, arms and ammunition, uniforms, and, most importantly, troops and naval support to the beleaguered Continental Army. The French navy transported reinforcements, fought off a British fleet, and protected Washington's forces in Virginia.

...

France helped make the victory of the United States possible. Continental soldiers used French weapons and wore French-made uniforms and, by the end of the war, they fought alongside French soldiers.

^Also, the French soldiers taught the yankees how to fry little sticks of potato, and that's how we got "French" fries...



OK, I just made that up. Dammit, now I want French Fries.

Sounds like somebody is beating the war drums for WWIII. 🤔

You can never trust those Europeans, they've been killing each other for thousands of years.
The Frenchies couldn't resist getting involved in taking shots at the English during the American War for Independence. Then when that was over they started killing each other during The Reign of Terror of the French Revolution.
And then there was that midget dictator, Napoleon Bonaparte, he did a lot of killin' too all over Europe.

But only with HEINZ Ketchup!

We can avoid French and by extension NATO troops from fighting in Ukraine if we just continue to fund Ukraine’s war effort until there are no more Ukrainians left alive.

How can you tell someone is in the French military?

(raise your hands over your head)

Their armpits are sunburned.

NINE!

The French fought pretty hard in Vietnam, e.g., The Battle of Dien Bien Phu.

Remember when the French refused to contribute to W's Iraq war 2.0?

He trolled them by renaming French fries to "Freedom fries".

Yeah. We haven't had French fries in decades.

Nothing but Freedom fries 'round here. Lol

Well, they're on FOGS, pregnant women and people with mental disabilities right now. So it shouldn't take much longer.

Send in the FRENCH FORIEGN LEGION....

THOSE guys are the baddest asses I've ever met !!!
Most of them come from very poor backgrounds, orphanages, and a lot
Criminals from jail who want to earn their freedom back...

Those conscript rooskies will sheeeet there pantaloons ...
And even the those WAGNER GROUP merceNARIes will think twice before engaging them...the only ones in their league are the CHECHAN MERCS...THATS AN EVEN SKIRMISH FO' SHO'...

^

Yeah the Chechens are tough. They were able to win a war against the Russians despite being a tiny country.

They lost to them around 10 yrs later, but were still able to retain most of their autonomy unlike most Russian Federation States.

Chechnya is located in a really interesting part of the world as well, a geographic point where Europe converges with Persia, Turkey and the Arab world.

So a lot of Chechens look like white Europeans, but their religion is Islam.

BAD AZZ French dicktator Macron wants to expand the war. He wants to send NATO troops to the Ukraine.
All the while EU Farmers are revolting against the Union because of the Lefty GREEN DEAL.war on agriculture.

'Napoleon' Macron: 'Let's Send NATO Into Ukraine!'

French President Emmanuel Macron surprised European NATO members earlier this week by stating that it may be necessary to send NATO troops into Ukraine to fight Russia on a "bipartisan" basis. His European counterparts for the most part recoiled at the suggestion, with speculation about WWIII. Also today: Surprising poll on Gaza.
