Interesting that he lets this fly right before talks in Turkey.
quote:

In a televised interview with TF1 on Tuesday, Macron defended his administration’s handling of the Ukraine conflict, saying the French have done “the maximum we could to help Kiev.”

quote:

We gave away everything we had,” Macron said. “But we can’t give away what we don’t have, and we can’t strip ourselves of what is necessary for our own security.”

quote:

France has committed more than €3.7 billion ($4.1 billion) in military assistance to Ukraine since the escalation of the conflict in February 2022, according to the Kiel Institute’s aid tracker.

quote:

The remarks came as the French government struggles with an economic crisis. The national budget deficit hit 5.8% last year, once again surpassing the 3% threshold recommended for EU members. Public debt has climbed above 110% of GDP, and economic forecasts predict growth of less than 1% in 2025. Macron is also facing increased challenges in pushing legislation through parliament.

quote:

The TF1 broadcast opened with a montage of public criticism, including accusations that Macron has mismanaged the economy, treated ordinary citizens with contempt, and focused too heavily on foreign affairs. One citizen described him as “a president who practically wants to send us to war.”

Because this topic focuses on France, I included some GiFs of Kirsten Dunst as a young Marie Antoinette…

PARIS, May 10 (Reuters) - France is consulting with partners on how to potentially support Ukraine in its struggle with Russia with troops, French President Emmanuel Macron told newspaper Le Parisien on Saturday, without elaborating on what such a presence could include. "We are working on the presence and strategic footprint of the partner countries. There have been several exchanges between our British, French and Ukrainian chiefs of staff, who have coordinated the work with all their partners, and all this is becoming clearer and making progress," Macron was cited in the article.

That's all??? It's in their backyard. The US really needs to stop being the military for these European leeches. Their free shite programs would dry up and they'd have to actually start working real hours.

They’ll have another emergency summit where they restate their unyielding support of Ukraine.

What that **** really meant to say is

“The USA has a true leader and we cannot ride their coat-tails any longer, they are on to us and no longer will the Federal Reserve PROP UP EVERY PONSIE SCHEME WE/THE DEEP STATE CREATES. WHETHER ITS A WAR AND WE INSTIGATE IT & FUND IT ON AMERICAN TAX PAYERS BACKS OR WE CREATE GLOBAL CLIMATE CONTROL HOAXES AND PAY FOR IT WITH AMERICAN TAX PAYER’s FIAT MONEY PRINTED AT THE FEDERAL RESERVE……

Sorry WORLD. THE GIG IS UP!!! THEY ARE ON TO US AND WE CANNOT AFGORD ANYTHING ON OUR OWN without the USA Miney $$$.

All these Euro fricks are like the guy that talks real big throughout dinner then slips out to the bathroom right before the check comes, and stays in there.

France is tapped out??? frick that dick sucker!
America is tapped out! Trump needs to walk away.
I understand the implications, but Europe is done for. At this point, anyone believing Europe can or will cha ge their direction are chasing unicorn farts. The lines must be drawn now. Let the chips fall where they will. The 9% that own 90% o the stock market eat shite and die.

Wasn't he leading the charge after the oval office blowup between Z and Trump that Europe would lead the charge?
