Just kidding!
Just kidding!
I wouldn’t nuke Russia if they nuked France.
Why would France be required to nuke Russia if Russia nuked Ukraine? The whole reason France has it’s independent nuclear arsenal is to protect France. Does anyone ask Israel if they would launch on Russia in response to Russia Ukraine?
Way to signal a green light for Putin...
Who cares what happens to that corrupt POS Ukraine? Not worth a dime of American blood or treasure. The only reason biden has sent them them billions of our money is to protect himself, his family and a very corrupt dc establishment.
“Fundamental interests of the nation.” Macron is probably right. Makes me wonder what America’s fundamental interests are in Ukraine. (Actually, it doesn’t. I know we have none.)
French nuclear doctrine has always been to only use nuclear weapons when France is threatened - that’s the whole point of France’s nuclear deterrent in the first place. It would be newsworthy if Macron changed France’s defense footing.
France might as well just surrender now.
I gotta an idea, let’s not light off some plutonium. It’s not good for global warming, cooling, climate change.
It’s just not a good idea.

Cheese eating surrender monkeys on the world stage.
These guys are scaring the crap out of me with the whole nuclear Armageddon thing. They all need to STFU especially Macon.
Good on France.
Interesting.
I would normally comment that Macron is saving his Nukes for use on the Yellow Vests, however I instead say:
Macron has decided that he won't bother to poke the bear as Jao Buyden has demanded he do.
NATO is shattering, and it’s lovely.

Macron: France Won’t Nuke Russia If Putin Nukes Ukraine

While French President Emmanuel Macron has promised France will soon deliver more cannons, radars, and anti-aircraft missiles to support Ukraine, he said France is not going to launch a nuclear strike if Vladimir Putin uses nuclear weapons in Ukraine.
“Our doctrine rests on the fundamental interests of the nation,” Macron told France 2 on Wednesday. “They are defined clearly and wouldn’t be directly affected at all if, for example, there was a ballistic nuclear attack in Ukraine, in the region.”

Putin is not going to “ nuke” Ukraine.
As much as Deep State keeps trying to make the public swallow this BS.
EU responds:
Russia’s military will be “annihilated” by Western forces if Russian President Vladimir Putin uses nuclear weapons against Ukraine, the European Union’s top diplomat has warned.
“Any nuclear attack against Ukraine will create an answer — not a nuclear answer, but such a powerful answer from the military side that the Russian Army will be annihilated,” European Union High Rep. Josep Borrell said Thursday. “This is a serious moment in the history, and we have to show our unity, our strength, and our determination. Complete determination.”
That statement marks the most specific warning to Putin issued in public by a senior Western official. President Joe Biden’s administration has offered more ambiguous vows that Russia would face “catastrophic consequences” for a nuclear strike, but Borrell’s statement suggests that trans-Atlantic policy regarding that scenario is trending toward the militant posture that Poland and other Central European governments deem necessary to deter Putin.
“Putin is saying he is not bluffing,” Borrell told the European Diplomatic Academy in Bruges. “Well, he cannot afford bluffing. And it has to be clear that the people supporting Ukraine, the European Union and the Member States, and the United States and NATO are not bluffing either.”
The statement was an unusual one for Borrell, who leads the diplomatic corps of a European bloc that historically has functioned as an economic and political bloc, not a military power. Yet, it does punctuate his contention that the war in Ukraine “is changing the European Union” into a “more assertive” geopolitical power.
It also came on the heels of more conciliatory remarks from French President Emmanuel Macron, who emphasized Wednesday that “a ballistic nuclear attack in Ukraine” would not provoke a nuclear response from Paris, one of NATO’s three nuclear-armed states.
“Our doctrine rests on the fundamental interests of the nation,” Macron told French media.
“They are defined clearly and wouldn’t be directly affected at all if, for example, there was a ballistic nuclear attack in Ukraine, in the region.”
There’s no necessary contradiction between that statement and the message from Borrell, given the EU official’s emphasis that the Western response he had in mind is “not a nuclear answer.” Polish officials have made the same distinction while arguing for a “devastating” response to any nuclear attack.
“To the best of our knowledge, Putin is threatening to use tactical nuclear weapons on Ukrainian soil, not to attack NATO, which means that NATO should respond in a conventional way,” Polish Foreign Minister Zbigniew Rau said last month. “But the response should be devastating. And I suppose this is the clear message that the NATO alliance is sending to Russia right now.”
