PARIS (AP) — French President Emmanuel Macron said Monday that sending Western troops on the ground in Ukraine is not “ruled out” in the future after the issue was debated at a gathering of European leaders in Paris, as Russia’s full-scale invasion grinds into a third year.

The French leader said that “we will do everything needed so Russia cannot win the war” after the meeting of over 20 European heads of state and government and other Western officials.

“There’s no consensus today to send in an official, endorsed manner troops on the ground. But in terms of dynamics, nothing can be ruled out,” Macron said in a news conference at the Elysee presidential palace.

NATO is acknowledging that its proxy war has failed. As Putin predicted, the West will use the Russian excuse to divvy up rump Ukraine once his special military operation concludes. Poland, Romania, Hungary and Slovakia all have historical territorial claims against Ukraine. The trick for these NATO countries will be to accomplish their land grabs without triggering WWIII.

It’s good to finally see the mask ripped off this decaying alliance. NATO a defensive alliance? Not since Kosovo and Madeleine Albright.

That seems the likely game. Well summarized.

Zeeper Response: “The reason for sending NATO into Ukraine to fight the Russians is to prevent Trump from starting World War 3.”

I used to LOVE NATO - they kept Europe safe.

Then the Neocons took control and started bombing innocent people for sport.

Now NATO is on the verge of starting World War 3.

me too. During the Cold War, it was a game changer. In fact it brought down the Soviet Union. And then along came the interventionists within the MIC disguised as Neocons. Rather than a Peace Dividend, we got international turmoil.

The Euromoochers got the peace dividend, we didn’t.

What are “western” troops?

And why doesn’t Mr. Frog send FRENCH troops instead.

THE DEMOCRAT/UKRAINE FLIM FLAM——Schumer stressed how “Ukraine would win”.......
if only we taxpaying suckers throw MORE tax dollars at Zelensky and his shopaholic wife.

WANNA LAUGH?
Schumer said if we do not provide Ukraine with tax dollars,
“the Russians could be at the Polish border within a year.”

ROTFLOL......Schumer just got the email from Putin.
