French national troops in Ukraine, operating under French national command, would NOT be NATO forces operating under integrated NATO command. France can do as it pleases in Ukraine, provided Ukraine agrees of course, and do so independently from NATO.
Newfound respect for Macron seeing him increasingly step up against Putin
What do you think the Russians will think of this,l will tell you,they will see France as forward operating forces and it would lead to a real war with real weapons,you can’t be so flippant about peace in Europe,God help us 🏴🇬🇧
Philip is yesterdays man . Putin would love for Macron to send french troops to the meat grinder and show the rest of NATO what would happen to them if they made a similar move.” Trading space for time “ he can’t admit that Russia is grinding the Ukrainians down with as little loss to infrastructure and civilian lives as possible . The momentum is with the Russians and Ukraine have no say in the matter.
@@Boghopper1979 Putin snubbed and made fun of him and France a few times!
@@michaelmullins3396Yes, that's why Pootin whines every other day about his nukes🤣.
Macron is right. What's notable is that he's saying it, and that may be because of the luxury of concentrated power enjoyed by a French president. The key is that Russia is not in a position to act against Nato countries, but Russian gamesmanship has Nato countries cowed. As long as Russia is blocked in its efforts to take over Ukraine, the only thing that would lead Russia to attack a Nato country would be a direct attack by a Nato country against internationally recognized Russian territory. In fact, it's difficult to see Russia attacking a Nato country if Nato-supplied conventional weapons were used by Ukraine to attack facilities in Russia that directly support operations in Ukraine. The fear of Russian aggression is so deeply ingrained that it compromises European security, and Macron is right to be pushing back against that fear.
Yeah this is nonsense. Russia can decide on its own calculus at what point it wants to attack NATO. And what happened to the West saying Russia's not at war with Russia? If French troops are in Ukraine, that gives Putin the ability to say to his people, we are under attack by NATO, there's French troops in Ukraine, we need to fully mobilize to stop NATO.
And there's no reason why a Russian wouldn't see French troops in Ukraine and fully back a huge mobilization against NATO because they fear their country could fall otherwise and destroy their lives and everything around them.
Russia can full well act against a nato country especially one that hit Russia first. Nato cannot interfere if Russia retaliate or there will be a all out war, and China knows that if Russia falls they are next so they are going to join.
@@glintongordon6811 But it won't do so other than in response to a direct attack. Fear of Nato is what is motivating the war in Ukraine.
@@bob___ Russia can and if Russia sees themselves falling apart they will choose to bring the rest of us with them
@@glintongordon6811 I don't think the Russian state is motivated by emotional reactions, but by cold calculation, though they may use rhetoric to encourage others to view them as rabid dogs in order to create a diversion.
Troops from ‘France’ are fine. Call putins bluff at every stage. Germany is a disgrace.
Half of Germany is Soviet trained, Soviet indoctrinated, and I'm sure a lot of them felt cheated when their Russian orientated lives were disrupted !
No, Germany is no disgrace. Berlin has sent 10 times more weapons and financial support to Ukraine than France. Big mouth Macron, as always. I would be surprised if any action follows.
Its Scholz. He’s a very very weak leader.

I think if France made that move, Poland would follow suit.

I love Macron muddy the waters , keeps Putin guessing which is a strategic move, French troops have nothing to lose to shore up Ukrainian back sides, if Ukraine falls Europe will be next he gets it
"French troops have nothing to lose" are you out of your mind? They will lose their lives.
Stop using drugs, Macron needs to send 4 000 000 troops to win. But he has only 5000 untrained children.
Do you seriously not realize that if NATO troops enter Ukraine, then that sparks WW3, and then the nukes are launched, and we all die? Are you not able to comprehend this?
All of Europe knows this, but as soon as you send troops it's direct war and no turning back. All Europeans are like yes we should send our armies in but then uou risk being attacked by missiles etc. I'm from the uk and russia woulsldnt and couldn't invade us so we know what happens next.

@@user-it7lf7kk8m Same here in France (and I would guess in other countries aswell) : either by law, protocol or tradition, ex presidents, prime ministers and ministers are called by their former title.

i spotted that right from the beginning
I understand the French perspective. While it's not ideal to humiliate the Russians, if Russia continues to humiliate France in African countries like Mali, Niger, and Burkina Faso, then the French may feel the need to respond. However, the current Ukrainian situation provides a more legitimate context for such a response. Additionally, Russia is certainly aware of the impact its actions have on France.
A country with a pair! France is not going to let a WW2 scenario happen again by letting a clear enemy rampage across Europe. MACRON 😍'Never Again'.
Send macron himself and he might have a different mindset
Macron sending French troops into Ukraine are not NATO troops. There is no issue with French troops fighting along side Ukrainian troops against Russian forces in Ukraine, though initially I expect that French troops would release Ukrainian troops to go fight.
are you just being silly or ill informed? The French Foreign Legion are part of the French Army. France is a Nato member. You cannot just come & go as you please and that is the rub of the matter. This is a european conflict. Not African which is out of Nato area
@@gordonspicer The US has forces in a variety of nations around the world. Are they all NATO forces. No. Is the US part of NATO. Yes. France can send their troops into Ukraine with Ukraine's agreement whenever they want.
Macron. Gotta love this guy.
France or other NATO members should consider some half way measure by deploying their forces to Ukraine as peace keepers, helping to secure civilian populations and infrastructure from wanton Russia missile attacks.
I suggest civilian trousers and military shirt & jacket will meet your suggestion well
NATO should accept the reality of the situation and push for peace with Russia
@@cerdic6586 There is little choice now, but this may set a nasty precedent. Say Russia after attacks the 3 Nato Baltic states? It occupies Estonia but not the other two. To end the war does the west/Nato have to "sacrifice" Estonia for peace ? Not easy to answer but could mean the end of Nato and an even weaker western europe
@@gordonspicer There is always a choice. The question is whether leaders and their partisan parrot followers are prepared to lose face. A hypothetical peace with Russia as a temporary solution would inevitably involve ceding parts of Ukraine. Meanwhile, the West must re-industrialise and re-arm itself if it is to avoid future humiliations.

2 poxy percent??? We have given Ukraine 40% over the last 2 years but we can't contribute more than 2% to NATO defence budget? Somethings not right there
How many people on here have actually studied the history of this conflict going back to 2014 and understand how much NATO has expanded? So many are clueless. This is a war that Ukraine cannot win and Russia considers having a buffer with NATO an existential matter meaning they will use nuclear weapons if needed.

Законодательно праздновать голодомор, и переименовывать улицы и города в честь нацистов и пособников фашизма - и теперь умирать миллионами за то-что вам напихали когда-то в голову!..
Зачем так упорно нарушали минские договорённости и обстреливали донбасс?!..
Кто все эти нехорошие люди - всё это с вами сделавшие, и где их деньги и недвижимость?..
Почему они все там на западе - там где и проплаченная оппозиция и коррупционеры с наворованным и легализованным западом - который вас поссорил?..
Этот правильный гуманно человечный запад, с укрытыми счетами разворованного бывшего ссср, скупленные ими активы ссср, стимулируемые западом и проплачиваемые конфликты на территории ссср и по всему миру - и недружественные режимы по периметру, с базами и биолабораториями - и упорно отводя и закрывая себе глаза на национализм нацизм и русофобию у вас...
Зачем доброму гуманному западу такое делать с бывшим ссср - десятилетиями тут хозяйничая, и разрывая и доламывая то-что ещё можно доломать - когда-то давно обанкротив и скупив за бесценок активы ссср...
Наводнил тут всё своим западным второсортным барахлом для стран третьего мира, и отгородившись под это прописанными договорами и законами под себя - налогами и квотами с санкциями, выкачивая отсюда ресурсы, деньги, и перспективные мозги и рабочие руки - и женщин!..
Когда-же это их западное добро тут закончится, и к власти придут добрые порядочные люди - без добрых счетов с порядочными цифрами в добрых западных банках?!..
Macron spoke about french troops if Ukrayne asks for that .
Any chance that Times Radio could get themselves a sound engineer?
Russians ain't joking if Nato think russia is yugoslavia,Afghanistan or Iraq...stop this nonsense
France is not NATO.
Russia is a Joke LOL, a circus
Russia will be on its knees within 18 months, even Elvira can't save the economy with it's current direction.
Yugoslavia only had a NATO peace keeping force. Yes, they bombed them in the end, but it wasn't a trench war. Afghanistan and Iraq weren't trench wars either. Against Russia it's a trench war. We would easily win a trench war against Russia with NATO. Iraq invasion took 3 weeks and the Afghanistan invasion 4 weeks by the way. We won that very easily with minimal troops. It would be much easier to kick Russia out of Ukraine, because we got the population on our side. They would deal with rebellion forces themselves.
@@rasputindasilva858Only French or European troops will be sent to Ukraine.
USA answered simple: NO NATO troops but only europeans lol
Why send NATO troops to defend from Belarus when you could threaten it instead? Then move atleast half of those Ukrainian troops to the frontline, and let Putin grapple with the gamble of it being true or a bluff, giving you also reasonable cause to do so if provoked
Please send Boris Johnson to the frontline after all he stopped the Turkie peace deal back in April 2022. We don't want to see French troops send back in body bags
that peace deal was useless, it was only playing into russias hand. Don't worry about french troops in body bags, Russia and belarus military is so incompetent that the risk for western troops is relatively small. The difference in skill and capability between western army and russian army is so big you have no idea. Judging by what I have seen in the past two years, western militaries can put russia back in its place in a matter of weeks. In a matter of weeks the russian fleets, russian airbases and all other military targets can be destroyed, with hardly any losses on the western side, that's so obvious today. Western armies taking on Russia will be like taking candy from a small child.
Have a read of the peace deal, it would have eviscerated the Ukrainian army to the point that if Russia decided to roll in there would be no defense whatsoever to respond. No one in their right mind would accept that.
Rusha has broken every treat signed . Often immediately upon signing . Vatnik or magtard ?
Don’t make us laugh, Ivan
@@SlosII If the threat to Western troops was relatively small, the West would have went to war in Ukraine on day one. But they didn't. This is why the US needs to exit NATO. We don't want a nuclear holocaust where no one wins. Europeans need to realize Ukraine isn't in NATO. Russia has not attacked any NATO country so Europe is safe. Send more money so Ukraine can win the war, France's contribution is pathetic, but we can not get in a war or perhaps France with its nukes can protect all of Europe while the US pulls out of NATO for our own security.
Ukraine is winning but now they need troops
As much as it pains me to say, Ukraine is not winning at the moment. The West love to make promises to get some cheap headlines about weapons but they are simply not delivering them in a timely manner and you can see that in the movements on the front line.
If France and Poland would go into Ukraine, Russia is gonna be the one that's gonna need troops. That's 500k active troops without reserves and state of the art weaponry. Not the old stuff Ukraine is fighting with now. France even makes their own 5th gen fighter jets and tanks.
@@Joey-ct8bm and if Russia gets troops from north Korea, and Russia start using their new jets it will be back at Square 1
@@glintongordon6811 If North Korea would send troops, South Korea would immediately send troops too. Which has double the population and a way higher GDP. Just Samsung has 20× the value of the gdp of North Korea.
Meanwhile, 800 days into a 3 day operation…
Marcon can put French troops into Ukraine if Ukraine wants them. So can Germany,Spain, England etc. they don’t have to be under the nato banner.
