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.

[”Putin has put in 90 percent of his pre-staged combat power in Ukraine - U.S. official”]

Pretty soon, reserves will have to be called up in Russia for the “special military operation”.

If Putin takes all of Ukraine, who will pay the Big Guy his 10%?

Next up: Lithuania, Estonia, and Latvia.

If that intention were true the next logical step would be Poland.

In other news: “U.S. Navy Recovers F-35C from South China Sea” that was lost a while back. Didn’t want China to recover it.

**Macron: Now there is someone I trust and want to listen to!**

Putin is said to have killed thousands, women have killed millions of babies; up steps Schwabie, and says: “hold my beer, while I show you how to eliminate six and a half billion”.

Exactly. The fact that Putin is calling weasel Macron and not the other way around is a sign that Putin is looking for a way out.

Also, no official photos of Putin released by the Kremlin in the past 2 days.

“Putin wants all of Ukraine”

Not sure why that would be surprising to anyone.

The Mayor of Moscow will keep the Biden bucks flowing. The Biden’s played both sides.

I’m surprised that anybody believes Russia or China are communist. Especially China, being as we buy everything from there. It ain’t the 1950s any longer.

Putin called Macron, not the other way around.

Lets put some context on this...the last time Macron called Russia was on the eve of the invasion and Putin didn't take his call.

And Poland.

But all that assumes that another player doesn’t enter the chat.

Taiwan had power outages yesterday. Took out the iphone factory. Shame if anything happened to that.

Putin will be hanging by piano wire from a lamp post in Red Square soon. The rabid crazed dog is single handedly destroying Russia.

Communism, the textbook definition, was always a crock of bull manure. It was the selling point to get the population to willingly put itself under control of the government.

When people are allowed to act freely, they will act as capitalists buying and selling for the best prices.

Communism, as practiced, is very much real. The intent is to subjugate the US into that system of communism as practiced.

Ukraine is not Russia; and except for Soviet aggression, never was Russia. It’s beginnings were with the nomadic tribes of the Stepps, and the Nordsmen that came down from Sweden through Lithuania-Poland. Here is a good overview: The Animated History of Ukraine - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zJvz3Ai9Ppw Additional info: A very informative presentation by the former PM of Sweden: Carl Bildt: The history of Ukraine is different from the history of Russia - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8_SQuLf74n4
