MOSCOW (Sputnik) - France will propose a ceasefire in the Ukraine conflict for the duration of the Olympic Games in Paris, French President Emmanuel Macron said, adding that Paris is ready to react if the conflict escalates, but will not initiate aggression.

The endgame is Macron wants to act when Russia finally breaks through and defeats Ukraine.

Macron will use French troops to help Poland and the Baltic Countries secure the “Rump” of Ukraine so “the Russkies” don’t get it although I doubt they want it anyway.

The little twerp Macron thinks that he leads NATO. This midget with a mouth is going to start a nuclear war if he isn’t reined in.

I hope that Russia dismantles all of France’s proxy states in Africa just to poke the granny-lo in pervert in the eye..

“France will propose a ceasefire in the Ukraine conflict for the duration of the Olympic Games in Paris, French President Emmanuel Macron said,”

.

Here in Dallas the flower festival starts in about a week. Two week ceasefire?

There is a new chick-fillet opening on Northwest highway, that’s worth about a week, right?

New Walmart in Mesquite?

School is out for the summer in a couple of months, how about that?

We threw the maidan revolution in there exact same dates as the Sochi 2014 Winter Olympics. I’m guessing the Russians will remember that.

The Olympics are not what they used to be. No one cares about them anymore.

We need to find a permanent host city. Maybe have the Winter Olympics in Norway. And the Summer Olympics in Los Angeles.

If this guy thinks a ceasefire will alter Hamas’ plans for
the Olympics, he’s way to ignorant to be in charge.

Does he not know what took place in 1972?

It’s about carving up what’s left of Ukraine and incorporating it into the EU and NATO I would say.
