    Iirc, when UN troops pushed the North Koreans all the way back to the Chinese border, China got involved and pushed UN troops back to the current line of detente. [X Both sides had nukes X] (NO) and no WW3 broke out between NATO and China proper.
    Having French troops help out would be no different imho.

    It took him two years, but this guy gets it. This is how “the game” is played. The West needs to stop giving Putin room to manuever.

  4. Thank GOD that Macron isn’t just playing tough; he seems genuinely ready to commit French forces–even if that means direct contact with the Russians.

    Maybe, just maybe Macron realizes that other countries have sent their men into harm’s way to help France in the past. Perhaps he feels that it is only fitting and proper that France reciprocate when she is able to.

    Note: I apologize for referring to France as “she” above. Neither He nor It seemed to fit. Please let me know what I should’ve done.

  6. Not the biggest fan of Macron, but he’s shown great leadership on this issue.

  7. So now Ukraine just needs to allow Russia a limited breakthrough and ask France for help.

  8. I don’t think

    > we would legitimately have to ask ourselves this question.

    is anything of substance, it’s the same as saying “should something happen, we’ll think about the possibility”.
