Second moment in recent history when the french end up being the tellers of uncomfortable truths
Don't forget about Charles de Gaulle warning Kennedy against a war in Vietnam
Maybe they should start supporting Ukraine a bit more then, so far they are lacking in comparison to the rest of europe
Yeah, sadly I see Macron's statement about french troops in Ukraine as nothing more than hot air. The last I heard, France was blocking buying artillery shells from non-EU sources, even though those shells could be shipped right now.
Not anymore but they where up untill recently.

Wasn't Macron like "I talked to Putin, he wouldn't do this"... And then he did it.
The same French whose intelligence organization completely missed the boat on that?

Why is anyone taking this guy seriously?
That was Putin just lying though
Lying dup's one man. But there was an entire intelligence org that should have been able to prove those words right and wrong. Macron has little credibility by himself -- he loves big, broad gestures -- and he has no apparatus to back up his claims for, or against, anything.
He's prone to magical thinking
He's still in denial that climate change can't wait. Same vein.
The French have always been the heroes we need but don't deserve.
