France's Macron Says 'Clear Red Lines' Should be Drawn With Russia
Newsmax ^ | April 18, 2021

World powers should draw "clear red lines" with Russia and consider possible sanctions against Moscow when they're crossed, French President Emmanuel Macron told U.S. news network CBS in an interview.

"We have to define clear red lines with Russia," Macron said, according to a video excerpt of the interview to be aired later on Sunday.

"This is the only way to be credible. Sanctions are not sufficient in themselves but sanctions are part of the package," he said, adding that he also agreed with U.S. President Joe Biden's willingness to open a dialog with Russian President Vladimir Putin at a time of festering tensions.

Careful with those red lines. Obama learned the hard way that being all-hat, no cattle can embarrass you.

When the Russians eventually fight the French they will cut through the screaming, huddled transgendered fools like a hot knife through butter.

Talk is cheap.

Maybe it would not be if the EU outspent both the U.S. and Russia on defense. Maybe then its “we are superior than thou” (the U.S.) posturing would carry some clout.

A red line. There isn’t a red line? There needs to be a red line so those Russian tanks know where to stop.

Russia won’t play ball with the globalists so they have to be destroyed.

I think the line is pretty clear now. If Russia invades Ukraine, they will be shamed with a very strongly worded public letter condemning them. It gives me chills just thinking about it.

How many tens of thousands of buckets of red paint does Macron want. NATO should be sending thousands of troops in a training exercise on the Eastern Ukrainian border. But what do we have from the socialist Macron? “Clear red lines?” Macron must be a decedent of Maginot.

That clear line wasn’t worth a pinch pf racoon shit.

France would crap their pants in a war against Russia. Napoleon couldn’t win there. Frenchmen used to be good at painting, lovemaking, dancing, and drinking wine. But warmaking? Hell no...And that was before the current gang of lunatics and louts.

But China will be allowed to march into Taiwan unopposed.

If at first you don’t succeed, try, try, and try again.

What if Napoleon had a B-52 at the Battle of Waterloo?

Call Obama. He’s an expert at setting up red lines.

He never did anything when they were crossed, but hey, he sounded tough.

"We have to define clear red lines with Russia," Macron said,

What's this we shite, Frenchman? You're talking about crossing a red line defended by AMERICANS since I'd expect the French to be about as much help as they were in 1940.

Macron is a leading character in the globalist puppet show, but not so popular at home.
