French President Emmanuel Macron said on Thursday that his country has now overtaken the US as the main provider of intelligence to Ukraine.

"Where Ukraine was overwhelmingly dependent on American intelligence capacity, a year ago, two-thirds is today provided by France. Two-thirds," Macron said in a New Year's speech to the French military.

Good luck with that.

And how’s the working out for them, Manny?

If they decide to surrender they’ll have a mentor to guide them.

“Ukraine now relies on France, instead of the US, for intelligence”

One has to question the intelligence of France given their embrace of an encouraged Islamic Invasion.

Congratulations on your promotion to Intelligence Directer for Ukrainian Operations.

Definition issues. France does not have the network of satellite reconnaissance required.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

Frogs have intelligence?

[Leaning Right]

Let’s not be so tough on President Macron! His husband probably told him to say that. And for sure Macron doesn’t want to get bitch-slapped again.

Oh, wait. I can get in serious legal trouble in France for making fun of President Macron or his husband. So I totally withdraw my above comment.

I wonder was that Hillary or Victoria Nuland shutting up ‘Jupiters’ ugly mug spouting off about Ukraine?

Maybe John Brennan is available to assist with their ‘intelligence’ gathering.

Who knew.

[Allegra]

Awesome sauce.

When you get right down to the heart of it, HOW LONG does it take for Europe to simply admit, "We screwed up. And oh boy, we screwed up bad"?

[gibsonguy]

If this is true little Zeke is doomed.

[roving]

Does this mean they surrendered?

My man! (high-five)
