The war in Ukraine is “existential for our Europe and for France”, Mr Macron said in the interview on France 2 and TF1.

“Do you think that the Poles, the Lithuanians, the Estonians, the Romanians and the Bulgarians could remain at peace for a second [in the event of a Russian victory in Ukraine]?” he asked. “If Russia wins this war, Europe’s credibility would be reduced to zero.”

    Exactly, they want it all. We will never be safe until Putin and his like are out of the picture.

        He’s got the assets of a huge country behind him and many layers of security between himself and the world. He’s intensely paranoid and not stupid. Fucker was a lieutenant colonel in the KGB. Any assassin we send is going to get caught miles from him and end up on TV denouncing the west before spending their life in a Siberian prison.

          If he’s not stupid, then why does he think attacking Ukraine is going to make him any happier? Anyone who puts numbers and possession over actual happiness does so because they’re too stupid to sit around and wonder what makes them happy.
