It looks like French President Emmanuel Macron finally managed to insert himself smack dab in the middle of the Peace Process debate and the resolution of the Ukraine war – in the worst possible way. By floating the idea of using the ‘nuclear umbrella’ of the – limited – French arsenal, ‘Macron Demission’ managed to enrage the Russians. The Russian Foreign Ministry accused French President Emmanuel Macron of ‘nuclear blackmail’ and stated that he finally ‘removed the mask and revealed who is leading the ‘war party’ today’..
Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov weighs in by saying that ‘Macron’s remarks on the possible use of nuclear arms are a threat to Russia.’ “Without US, UK help with intelligence information, Kiev cannot launch missiles. […] The Ukraine conflict can end by stopping arms supplies by the West to Kiev. […] There can be no compromise on the possible deployment of European peacekeepers in Ukraine. […] The deployment of European peacekeepers to Ukraine will mean NATO direct involvement in war with Russia.” Flaunting France’s nuclear arsenal – 290 warheads against Russia’s almost 6,000, most of which use guided hypersonic technology, is madness. Paris destroyed in AI-generated image by Sputnik: 290 warheads against 6,000 – is that a good bet?
