Mocking him as 'Micron,' Russia warns Macron against making nuclear 'threats'
Fox News ^ | March 6, 2025 | Reuters

Russia warned French President Emmanuel Macron on Thursday not to threaten it with nuclear rhetoric and, mocking his height by calling him "Micron," ruled out European proposals to send peacekeeping forces from NATO members to Ukraine.

Macron said in an address to the nation on Wednesday that Russia was a threat to Europe, Paris could discuss extending its nuclear umbrella to allies and that he would hold a meeting of army chiefs from European countries willing to send peacekeeping troops to Ukraine after a peace deal.

The Kremlin said the speech was extremely confrontational and that Macron wanted the war in Ukraine to continue.

"This (speech) is, of course, a threat against Russia," Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said.

"Unlike their predecessors, who also wanted to fight against Russia, Napoleon, Hitler, Mr. Macron does not act very gracefully, because at least they said it bluntly: ‘We must conquer Russia, we must defeat Russia.’"

Sorry but that the pot calling the kettle black

Russia needs to reign it it rhetoric about nukes if they want everyone else to do it

This is like a bully at a bar hitting someone then crying that they got hit back

Aw jeez, they’ve been reading Free Republic. That’s what we’ve been calling him for a long time.

Next, they’ll start calling the British PM “Starmtrooper”...

Macron had better be careful or he's going to be sued by Putin. Putin has the exclusive right to issue nuclear threats. The UN is going to have to warn Macron about violating those rights.

Strangely, I'm going with Putin on this one.

WTF is Macron doing making nuclear war threats against Russia?

That is totally irresponsible and just flat wrong.

Strangely, I agree with you. Macron is violating Putin's rights for exclusivity on issuing nuclear threats.

And as much as I dislike the USSR and Putin in particular, I have to agree.

The world would be a much better place if everyone would mind their own business and quit being belligerent azzholes.

Silly rhetoric. France has fewer than 300 warheads, Russia has over 5500.

Wanting to shoot down nukes, saving millions of lives, is somehow confused with firing nukes, and ending millions of lives. There’s juuuuuuuust a bit of difference between those two initiatives!!!!!

Dribbling the $300 billion back to Russia is the way to go. The Russians can’t spend it all at once anyway.

The Russians will reach Odessa before agreeing to have foreign ‘peacekeeping’ troops from the EU.
