Mr Macron decided to do strategic signalling. The outrage and medial coverage serves his purpose. It was directed on one hand to mr Putin, on the other hand to Americans. France, as a nuclear power has a real weight in such game, because both NATO and the USA simply can't ignore hypothetical scenario of war between France and Russia. Therefore it presses Americans to hurry them to vote the funds for Ukraine. It also presses other allies and French public to increase effort to help Ukraine below this boots on the ground treshold.
It also sens a warning to Russia. France has many options in developing scenarios, i.e. to use French Foreign Legion under the auspicies of Ukrainian Foreign Legion. He can also use regular army only to guard western Ukraine and in this free Ukrainian soldiers standing there to go on the frontline.
Mr Macron might be bluffing- but it is a serious bluff which will be effective because no one really wants to check it.

Those reporters are acting as though they would be safe if an all-out nuclear war breaks out in the world

[casard]

Macron drew the short straw on 'who's going to broach the subject'.

[kejuu]

All this time Russia has been saying they're at war vs entire NATO. So what's the issue if France sends a few troops to Ukraine?

[CrispinCourtenay]

Doesn't Russia require a functional army to make realistic threats?

[dougk]

The US involvement in Vietnam started by helping out the French sending just a few advisors and ended up with US fighting with troops there a decade later.

We don’t need ww3 over issues that can be resolved via dialogue

[hotpoker]

Russia has sent Chechen, Nepalese, Cuban, et, troops into Ukraine.
Ukraine is a sovereign country and it has the right to request that support from other countries.
Macron ls the only one who has the balls to say it out loud.

[jimschachtschneider]

It should be noted that Ukraine has not asked for troops. They have asked for military aid so that Ukraine can defend itself. What is disappointing is that countries like the USA have failed to supply the arms that Ukraine needs. While it is fair that isolationists do not want to send troops, it is short sighted to stonewall needed aid in Congress.

[joshuaburns]

I thought Ukraine was winning by themselves? You mean youve been lieing to everyone?

[casienwhey]

Nato should never have been expanded to the East. We promised the Russians we would not do that and then did it anyway. If Russia put military bases on the Mexican border, the US would never stand for it, so why are we surprised on how the Russians acted in Ukraine?

[soniamonia]

Macaroon didn’t study history.
Napoleon though he can beat Russia too.

[Rangerzlifx]

The fact that there is no answer to what it will ACTUALLY take to end the war, and america saying itll do whatever it takes, is WILD!

[Tejiknasten]

The French suggestion is only to help Ukraine with a Special military operation. Nothing more, nothing less. 😉

Nixon said he learned two things from Eisenhower as a Vice President. Never tell your adversaries what you're about to do - but more importantly never tell them what you never will do.

[marcow]

The french president should put his ego somewhere else. That was really a stupid move!

[mwc]

DANGEROUS MISNOMER: NON-COMBAT TROOPS. Only a politician or lawyer would try to use their own paradigm to rationalize that to leaders and citizens of other countries.

[cjlgpou]

Imagine the Gaul of Russia to invade another country and then saying YOU can not put troops in the same country. LMAO

He is upset because wagner and Russia are in Africa
