The war in Ukraine is “existential for our Europe and for France”, Mr Macron said in the interview on France 2 and TF1.

“Do you think that the Poles, the Lithuanians, the Estonians, the Romanians and the Bulgarians could remain at peace for a second [in the event of a Russian victory in Ukraine]?” he asked. “If Russia wins this war, Europe’s credibility would be reduced to zero.”

Wasn't Macron like "I talked to Putin, he wouldn't do this"... And then he did it.

The same French whose intelligence organization completely missed the boat on that?

That was Putin just lying though

Lying dup's one man. But there was an entire intelligence org that should have been able to prove those words right and wrong. Macron has little credibility by himself -- he loves big, broad gestures -- and he has no apparatus to back up his claims for, or against, anything.

He's prone to magical thinking

He's still in denial that climate change can't wait. Same vein.
