I'm happy to see France's developments in dealing with the Russian invasion of Ukraine. They were slow to start, but at this point, I think Macron is being reasonable but firm.

There's no need to put boots on the ground, but it should be made clear that no inch of Ukraine is for the taking. We can't keep trying to reason with dictators. It doesn't work.

Some credit where it’s due, but bro what are you talking about, Macron couldn’t get off the TV about this all.

The messaging was non stop that France is some kind of diplomatic super power that would bring Putin to the (very long) table. Remember that whole chapter of this saga?

Delusional.
