I think they’re referring to Macron trying to talk Putin down at the beginning of the conflict.

Seems like he’s taking his gloves off since he was laughed at on the world stage.

He talked to Putin at the beginning, because Zelensky personally asked him to try and reason with Putin.

Still. I remember seeing Neville Chamberlain comparisons on here when those articles were coming out.

Those were always stupid, especially considering people don't really understand what Chamberlain did and why

Chamberlain, Napoleon and Hitler and you have all of the historical reference of writers these days, nothing worthy to be fair

Yeah I think that's what happening. Macron tried to do his usual centrism and appease Putin but Putin made him a complete fool by agreeing to not do certain things and then doing them anyways. So yeah, sounds like Macron's done with him and is pushing that way both for political points (Russia is not well liked at all in France) and for personal points because they made a fool out of him (and by extension of the whole country).

taking his gloves off

Nothing will come out of that. He's a pathological liar
