Vladimir Putin wants to seize all of Ukraine and "worse is to come" during the conflict, the French president has warned.

Emmanuel Macron held talks with Mr Putin over the phone this afternoon in a bid to ease tensions between Russia and the West.

According to French officials, Mr Macron told the Russian leader that he was making a "major mistake" in Ukraine, adding: "You are lying to yourself".

Following the call, Mr Macron believes "worse is to come" in the unfolding humanitarian crisis and that Mr Putin wants to seize the entire country, according to an aide.

He did, and has for years.

Now the narrative here (in the US) went from “He is joking” to “Nuclear war is good for the environment!”

Sort of like how covid went away, and no one is noticing that.

Though I expect similar lock downs in six weeks or so, but for other reasons.

There are many like you that have drank so much of the Obama/Biden/Globalist kool-aid that you must really have to go pee a lot.Hopefully ya’ll have to go so much that you won’t have time for posting this globalist propaganda in the future.

Whatever. The way this ends is with Putin dead.

What would be nice is to see him face a war crimes tribunal in Kyiv and then hang. Let him suffer a bit before he starts his stay in Hell.

“Next up: Lithuania, Estonia, and Latvia.”

Eventually. But for right now he has his eyes on Moldova, Finland, and Belarus. Likely in that order, too.

“What our great grand parents went through with Hitler.”

And in so many ways.

After the Cold War ended we took peace for granted and thought that if we laid down our weapons that the enemies of peace and freedom would lay down their weapons too. We were wrong and the old adage has once again been made truth:

“The condition upon which God hath given liberty to man is eternal vigilance; which condition if he break, servitude is at once the consequence of his crime and the punishment of his guilt.”

- John Philpot Curran

Take is easy there tiger :)

A lot of folks on the board still view the Russkies and Putin with great suspicion.

I don’t trust him either.

But we have no treaty with Ukraine (THANK GOD) and their falling is not an existential threat to us.

And like I’ve said before, we wouldn’t be thrilled if Russia started making NATO-like treaties with half a dozen central american countries.

If Putin marches into a NATO country, as much as I’ll hate that we have to go fight even if it’s one of those tiny eastern european countries, we would HAVE TO FIGHT.

Until then, good luck Ukraine.

I’ll donate some crypto.

Actually, Macron is a full-blown Globalist and Putin is a Nationalist who occasionally ascribes to parts of the Globalist Agenda if it furthers his Nationalist goals.

But hey, I guess if you generalize that enough, and remove the facts, it can be boiled down to both are globalists.

Macron is filling his pants at the thought of Germany rearming. Suddenly France and Russia have a common foreign policy concern.

Putin is a Nationalist

Where did that myth originate? If Putin was a U.S. politician in the U.S., and he did to the Russia, you'd be yelling what a globalist he is. But somehow you've been sold a bill of goods. Is plundering your country, taking from the masses, to enrich a bunch of globe straddling cronies nationalism? Because it sounds more like globalism to me. Worse maybe.

Compared to Putin, Hillary is a nationalist and a patriot. I am sure she would like to sell out the U.S. to the degree Putin does, but in the U.S. she can't get away with doing it to that degree.

Because Putin promises to bring the empire back, and make the country proud, the average Russian says, "Please sir, may I have another," while his billionaire oligarch bussies gorge themselves like overfed ticks on public.

Meanwhile, in Russia, the Russian male life expectancy has plummeted to 59. Yay nationalism!
