Was “elected” with a 31% approval level ...31%.....31% ...31%
If you say the actual name you automatically are a co-conspirator. ππ
Macron is happy to seek peace giving away someone else’s territory.
So, how do we *not humiliate* Putin? Let him win? Sort of like the clumsy kid, you let him get a home run once in a while, just to make him feel like he’s one of the guys...? So let Putin carve out a chunk of land just so he can feel like he can hold his head up around the other heads of state?

Turn the headline around... socialists always project... Biden/US & NATO must not appear humiliated by Putin.
I don’t know about the Russophiles here, but the Russian military has some big problems.
Methinks Vlad should already be embarrassed.

Biden has already been totally humiliated in every way. Just look at the collapsing American economy, very high crime and murder rates in America, super high inflation rates, etc etc.
WEF Grad Macron is a numbskull to wade into this. I had hoped the French citizens would have tossed his a$$ out but likely got re-elected by stolen ballots.
Putin already took over the Crimea in 2014 under Obama/Biden. Putin is merely adding to that.
Putin knows when to strike. It's when the Dems are in the White House.
Russia is best on defense. This they impressively did against the Mongols for hundreds of years, Napoleon, and Hitler. But Russia tends to screw the pooch on the attack, like they did against Imperial Japan, Poland, Finland, Afghanistan, and now Ukraine.
Not like he got 81 million votes or something. We early voted Thursday and were required to sign that we would NOT send in the mail out ballots they sent to EVERYBODY in the friggin’ state as that is the primary method our slugislature decided with the option to vote in person. No actual proof of ID needed.
Russia wasn't even interested in anything but saving the ethnically Russian part of the country from extermination at the hands of the neo-Nazi and Ukrainian nationalists when this war began. Now, thanks to the Biden regime, who are stupid as you, they may be forced to take more territory to protect what the territory that will become part of the Russian Federation.
France is playing a balancing game. And they are as wrong as they were in 1918 or 1815

It would take years to build up NATO's arsenal to the point at which it could successfully challenge Russia on its own terrain. Even then, victory would not be assured. It is doubtful that NATO could achieve air superiority over Eastern Europe. The combat record of older Soviet-era air defenses against Western cruise missiles in Syria has been impressive. More recently, the S400 air defense system has been successfully employed in Ukraine to destroy aircraft at ranges in excess of 100 miles. Russia's top-line S550 has successfully destroyed targets at ranges up to 300 miles in testing and is allegedly capable of intercepting intercontinental ballistic missiles.
Russia, therefore, possesses the capacity to interdict the air space over a vast swath of Eastern Europe. Any aerial campaign over Ukraine would turn into a bloodbath for allied pilots.

The Russian Army maintains entire divisions of rocket artillery along its frontier, dwarfing the assets available to any combination of NATO forces in Europe. At every echelon, the sheer quantity of artillery available to Russian commanders greatly exceeds that available to their NATO counterparts.
Nor does Russia possess the advantage in quantity alone. The quality of Russian artillery in training, integration with ground forces, and weapons performance also vastly exceeds that of NATO, according to a 2017 RAND report. Russian artillery in every class far outranges its American equivalents, across all classes of howitzers and rocket artillery.

Meanwhile, even if NATO brigades and divisions managed to reach the front lines, they would face the real prospect of annihilation at the hands of the Russian Army.
More of your Chechen monkeys sent to hell in Sievierodonetsk today LOL!
Macron’s got a big ole beak nose...
But anyway, he has always been a fanboi of Putler. Loves kissin jackboots.
French nose as well as the non-existent spine.
