French President Emmanuel Macron is reminding the European leaders of their responsibility to fund the multinational corporate war machine, especially if the United States doesn’t find a way to send $60 billion more in funding for the effort.
(Via Politico) – European countries must make bold and “innovative” decisions to help Ukraine even if the U.S. backs off from supporting Kyiv in the coming months, French President Emmanuel Macron said Tuesday.
[…] Europe must not delegate its security “to big powers, even if they are very good allies, because they live on the other side of the ocean,” he said.
Macron’s comments come as European nations grapple with the looming consequences of Donald Trump’s potential return to the White House, with the NATO-skeptic ex-president on track to win the Republican nomination. In the U.S., further military aid for Ukraine is also stalled in Congress, with Republican lawmakers reluctant to continue funding Kyiv. Ukraine has been fending off Russian President Vladimir Putin’s full-scale invasion for almost two years now.
“This is a decisive and testing moment for Europe. We must be ready to act to defend and support Ukraine whatever it takes and whatever America decides,” Macron said during a speech at Sweden’s Military Academy Karlberg.
Ahead of a key European summit this week focused on Ukraine, Macron also said the EU will have “to accelerate the scale” of its support, given that the costs “of a Russian victory are too high for all of us.”
EU leaders are hoping to agree on a €50 billion aid package for Ukraine at a European Council summit this Thursday, but fears are growing that Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán will use his veto to block the funds for Kyiv. (read more)

France is big mad at Russia. Russia just chased France out of Africa, then killed 50+ French mercenaries fighting in Ukraine with a missile strike, then killed another 13 French mercenaries who showed up to collected their bodies in another missile strike. This is Macron flexing his weak little muscle in return.

Time to end this nonsense around the world.
Juxtaposition of neo-feudalism.
The peasants are hungry, they have no bread. Let them eat cake.
What a tedious affair….
Where’s the friggin guillotine when you need it?
ied …
They earn nothing, but live like this?
“Let them eat cake! ” The Basters.
The perfect target for a Russian missile to end the war.
Can you hear them chanting “Let them eat cake”?
JAN 31 2024 – Stockholm – Karaoke session with French students
I am beginning to sniff a pre-1789 aroma in the air.
Bloody hell, the beef tapeworm eggs are spilling out of the filet onto the plate!
Boss, when you get home tonight ask your wife “Where does our food come from?”
Thank you, Martin. A picture is worth a thousand words!
Let them eat cake!

They are shoving their wealth and power in our faces. I am seeing more advertising of private planes to rent, luxury vacations, expensive cruises, etc. that I had not noticed before.
Snausages!?

Since the EU is Russia and Ukraine’s neighbor, they should be doing the heavy lifting in this conflict anyway.
Can someone explain to me, in brief, why Ukraine is so important to the Globalists? I’m not happy about Russia’s invasion or people dying, but I don’t see anything there that merits more than $100 worth of US Attention.
And yet… Ukraine seems to be the locus of a lot of US Political Corruption. Pelosi has ties. Romney has ties. The Bidens… obviously … have ties. Crowdstrike (of DNC server fame) is a Ukranian company.
I don’t understand the strange urgency to propagate a war with Russia that could embroil the globe in conflict. Maybe it’s always been that way. WWI. Korea. SE Asia. The Middle East.
Ukraine, particularly Eastern Ukraine where most of the fighting is taking place and where the people are largely ethnically Russian, is very resource rich, and the globalists want to plunder it. So that’s one reason.
Another is that Ukraine is where a lot of their child trafficking takes place. Many of Ghislaine Maxwell’s girls came from Ukraine
The third is the reason you’ve suggested. A lot of them have ties there. Biden, Romney, Pelosi, countless others. They’re afraid that if Russia takes it over, they might be exposed.
The Ukraine channel is how they wash their money back to DC and besides the massive amount of $$ made on arms or the Industrial Military Complex. Its all about money or the trillions at stake. Just wait until it becomes rebuild time.
Manny and Brigitte must have a yacht payment coming up…
Macron sees the RUS in UKR as about 1300 miles from Paris via roads. Gotta cross a few big rivers. He is saying the EU has to protect itself and not rely on US. Makes sense to me.
Why ‘Reddit’? What’s WWar Reddit mean?
Let them eat Pryaniki!
Yeah! Macron tells us we have to do it, because he and the rest of Europe don’t want to put out their money!
So they can find the money only if we stop the money spigot. We need to stop funding other countries and concentrate on America First and get our country healthy because no one is going to help us.
We also need to stop making the deep state influencers rich via wars.
Exactly!
If it wasn’t so dangerous, watching these vermin go splodey head over POTUS DJT’s return is total comedy. Vapid, empty suits (paid for by us), totally incompetent and petrified about the near future.
And that’s what scares me.
