Discussions over sending European troops to Ukraine reignited


With the prospect of American disengagement from Kyiv following Donald Trump's return to the White House, Paris and London are not ruling out leading a military coalition in Ukraine.


As the conflict in Ukraine enters a new phase of escalation, discussions over sending Western troops and private defense companies to Ukraine have been revived, Le Monde has learned from corroborating sources. These are sensitive discussions, most of which are classified – relaunched in light of a potential American withdrawal of support for Kyiv once Donald Trump takes office on January 20, 2025.The debate about sending troops to Ukraine, which French President Emmanuel Macron initiated at a meeting between Kyiv's allies in Paris in February, was strongly opposed by some European countries, led by Germany. However, it was relaunched in recent weeks thanks to the visit to France of the UK prime minister, Keir Starmer, for the November 11th commemorations. "Discussions are underway between the UK and France on defense cooperation, particularly with a view to creating a hard core of allies in Europe, focused on Ukraine and wider European security," confided a British military source to Le Monde.


'Not ruling out any option'These are comments in line with those made by the French foreign minister, Jean-Noël Barrot, on a visit to London on November 22. In an interview with the BBC on November 23, he called on Western allies to "not set and express red lines" in their support for Ukraine. When asked about the possibility of sending French troops into the field, he declared: "We do not discard any option."

Starmer and Macron are a danger to the entire world. The WEF globalists are enraged that Trump won and will likely broker a peace settlement.

Meh, if they want to send their sons into that meatgrinder then have at it.....The EU (other than the former eastern block countries) are all FUBAR anyway.

The UK and France love wars, particularly against countries they don't share a border with. Let THEM declare war against Russia and see what happens. The U.S. should stay away from these troublemakers.

I don't think it will be necessary....Russia can't last much longer before it collapses.

Excuse #455 for why the U.S. should be involved with Ukraine?

Not an excuse....
I'm simply saying facts. The Ruble is currently less than a penny. 104 per the dollar and with Gazprom bank (And 30 others) being cut off from international banking 5 days ago....there's going to be even more financial problems for the Russian Federation.

Russia is in trouble....despite their Sabre rattling they are in dire financial straits.

However....

I do not believe that their fall will be in American best interests. They still have considerable weapons and nuclear capabilities. Which can be sold to our enemies and used in terrorist or organized crime attacks.

However....
I do believe that a Russian isolation policy moving forward is most definitely in our best interests.

RT has been a world leader in funding Social Media propaganda outlets. Some self directed and others more for destabilization.

They have abused their privileges of having access to merely talk with others....and at this point it's time to silence them completely.

Meaning we need to continue the banking sanctions (their foreign bots will starve for cash) as well as the other sanctions as we finish rounding up their fleet and confiscating their boats. (Notice I said finish....the first 50 have been seized which were the most active)

Let them stew in their own yogurt for a bit.

Then dismantling their mercenary team Wagner.....yep....isolate them and make them all alone in the world.

They are there already and have been for a considerable time .
This is all about part admission publicly of what has been going on privately .

The US and its servile proxies have woken up to Russia increasing mobilisation to one and a half million over the next few months .
As usual Uncle Pooty pre-empts the West .

The Russian GDP grew by 4% this year they are short of nothing what the hell are you talking about?

Their government spending grew their gdp for war economies....the rest is shrinking and soon will not exist. From construction to vehicle production...they are all going bankrupt. They won't make it to February.

The Ruble is at 114+ per dollar and roughly that per euro. Never before seen lows for the Ruble.....why is that?
