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.

"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. Russia wouldn't dare attack a nato nation so no they won't come for Europe next. Why would they come for Europe when they are struggling against ukraine? They wouldn't stand a chance against nato so don't listen to the corrupt media

True, and everyone forgiven for thinking, as you say, if ALREADY fighting NATO, then what difference does it make if French troops are protecting against Belarus entering the conflict. It should not just be French, but all the NATO members protecting against Belarus entering Ukraine.
Because wagner is already fighting france in africa

Send macron himself and he might have a different mindset
It’s really nice to see some leadership in Europe. Go Macron!
Why is he calling him president Trump?

I agree. It should be president chump.
That's what they do in America, call ex presidents president. A bit like military people never lose their rank
@@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.

its what should have been said 2 years ago maybe we would not be where we are now
Macron is not alone, he is just the first to openly say it, others will just follow him if needed. You always need a first.
He talk wilh others countries leaders everyday, he'll not say that if his "friends" were not on his side.

times radio, stop mentioning donald trump and his forward leaning and or leading opinions on ukraine. That is the most two faced thing i've ever heard. The democrats in our country are the ones who have and continue to want to give support to ukraine. Not trump and not the republicans.
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.
In regards to Trump "...his long term planning & thinking...". Calm down. That man is on a strict "first pants THEN shoes" strategy in terms of "planning & thinking".
Joe Biden has failed at everything. Trump succeeded in showing strength. Something a weak person like you will never understand.
Excellent interview! Thanks!
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.

According to Russia, they have already been at war with NATO for a long time, so what kind of escalation would it be if France (or other Western countries) sent troops to Ukraine?
Go Macron you have my vote, others should not leave it any longer... Ukraine needs us all right now ---- If French troops are attacked in Ukraine does that not trigger article 5 ?????

How has Macron stood up to Putin? France has contributed less than a billion euros of military aid to Ukraine. This is how the French deflect from being asked to contribute more. By making empty promises.
Who’s using the family brain cell?
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.
Macron spoke about french troops if Ukrayne asks for that .
Medwedew already said Macron a message 2 months ago: "Do it."

Why send troops when there's still so much that can be sent in the way of equipment? If the West actually sent weapons in the quantity and at the right time, NATO troops wouldn't be necessary.
Comments infested with Russkytrolls. Still in St. Petersburg? See you at the Samovar for tea and a smoke?
Yes, especially on DW News and France 24 they're all over the place, often about 90% of all comments. Truth is there's very few people in France and Germany agreeing to their points.
Good for Macron. About time someone stood up to little boy Putin. It is challenging but we have to be firm, committed, to head off far worse if we are weak.
And what are you waiting for muppet? Ukraine needs soldiers
Macron is exercising strategic ambiguity. The actual mechanics is irrelevant. Why your commentators (or you) don't get this is astounding.
I can see NATO step in if Russia makes a break through to Kiev or Kharkiv.
French Foreign Legion on the Belarus border? They aren't NATO. Something to think about. Macron used the word "etranger" when discussing this subject a few weeks back. La Legion D'etranger. Apologies to French readers if I misspelled that.

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.

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.
They could still play a support role in the rear.
God bless Ukraine Amen 🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
А кто господи боже дал украине развалить и распродать промышленность украины - от ссср доставшееся, и поссорить с россией: - та россия благодаря которой украина с 1654 года увеличилась в несколько раз!?..
Кто вам дал в голову поссориться и шантажировать транзиты и паразитировать на этом - и при этом русофобствовать?!..
Законодательно притеснять русский язык ...
Законодательно переписывать историю...
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?!..
Finally. A man who actual understands EXACTLY what Trump's intentions were. He got NATO nervous so his comments were brilliant.
Funny the French want to stop russia how they cannot stop a rubber boat.
Carltonweedle5724 you would say that RF troll. You are paid to. But it won't wash.
Think the Russian southern fleet might be down to rubber boats at this point
Your arguments makes no sense, what has that to do with anything? Its like comparing war with soccer or fashion, makes no sense either. So if that is your best argument that the french army wouldnt be good enough, then your pretty dumb. But then again, if your ruzzian it is not suprising.
@@Boghopper1979they're conducting special underwater operations
Dude, France on its own can stop Russia, that's what the world has learned in the past two years. No US required. Russian troops go fight in gear we use to go fishing, we're not really afraid. The weakness of the Russian army is very strong! I mean they steal toilets and washing machines, that should tell you all you need to know.
trading space for time? what nonsense
The French...all fur coat and no knickers😂
Maybe Russian forces should just go straight to Paris after Kyiv is finished. Macron is making a mountain out of a ant-hill. Russia just want to teach Ukriane a lesson and replace the clown with Russian friendly leader, that's all.
Russia has committed nothing but pure terrorism in Ukraine. Putler actually thought his invading army would be welcomed because he is an idiot.
Sláva RF mr.Putin
?
Good luck for our gene fighters. Btw Macron is speaking for France not for NATO. I will like to see him in front of his legionärs. The Little Napoleon without a horse.
