    Even if half of Russias nukes don’t work they still have enough to destroy the entire planet 10 times over. People like Macron need a reminder why threatening a ground invasion is a bad idea.

      To be honest, if France put soldiers into Ukraine, you could make the same argument the other way.

      Continuing the war against Ukraine is a very bad idea since France has nukes, and they might do tactical strikes against Russian formations, so it’s better to get out of France’s way. France has enough nukes to destroy the planet 10 times over, or at least enough to destroy Moscow 100 times over, for sure.

      Either way, people should stop killing people, Russian soldiers should stay in Russia.

      Where is France threatening to invade exactly? I thought they’d talked about troops in Ukraine.

        Can you “invade” a country that’s begging for your help? The Russians are there despite Ukrainians wanting them dead, the French would have a warm reception and gratitude.

        Seems like an intentionally misleading way to phrase it.

        France putting boots on the ground is a red line for Russia and is a declaration of war. It would mean two nuclear powers are now officially at war and you know how fast things can escalate.

          Lmao, enlist? Vatnik, I’m already in the goddamn Navy of the United States of America, what the fuck do you think “SSBN submariner” means? And don’t worry, vatnik, when I engage in combat, you’ll know - when the sun rises several thousand times across your sorry excuse of a nation.

            I was born and live in America, funny that you are against Russia invading countries but have no problem invading countries yourself. You’re a murder for hire. You are the worst kind of human being.
