As much as I dislike Macron, I'll just remember that he was one of the European leaders that was favoring finding a diplomatic solution the most during the earlier weeks of the war. He's probably being more opportunistic than brave, honest or committed, but at least you can't accuse him of being a bloodlusting warmonger.

Nothing wrong with diplomatic solution if it leads to a withdrawal of the aggressor.

Of course. I don't think Macron was in the wrong for trying, as long as Ukraine was being supplied at the same time.

With The Nazi Mafia state you have to posture, huff and puff like in the olden days of Imperialism. You know, the childish game inbred kings and bishops used to play.

You know, the days that Poland, Germany, Great Britain, Spain, France (past European super powers), forgot. Because they came to the conclusion that Imperialism is over.

But Nazi russia is gonna peddle nazi imperialism. If people are close to revolt, send young to slaughter. It will fizzle out.

I quite remember it, Macron and other French diplomats were humiliated by Putin and gang.

He’s probably being more opportunistic than brave, honest or committed, but at least you can’t accuse him of being a bloodlusting warmonger.

He's literally waging war right now. Were have you been in the past 10 years where he has beaten and repressed a million of his own people and passed all sort of authoritarians law?

His policies make him a selfish neoliberal cunt, which is also pretty bad, but not quite a bloodlusting warmonger.
