"French President Emmanuel Macron says sending Western troops on the ground in Ukraine is not 'ruled out' in the future"

LFG!!!

too bad he said "in the future" though, should have been done TWO YEARS AGO!

Why all the sneery references above to "a stabbed in the back narrative"?

We know who HAS stabbed Ukraine in the back - the US Republicans, at the behest of Orange Man.

Before that, any significant Russian breakthrough was not a remotely serious possibility.

As they say, join the dots.

Is this not just a difference between a Trump vs Biden grand strategy

From where I see it I would call the Trump strategy  連俄制中 or Ally with Russia to contain PRC
while the Biden strategy is what I would call 破俄圍中 or Break Russia to create a grand encirclement of PRC.

For me, Trump's strategy is superior as the Biden strategy assumes a breakable Russia which now is shown not to be the case.  The Biden approach reminds me a lot of Napoleon 1812 "I will break Russia and then turn on the UK" and Hitler 1941 "I will break USSR and then turn on the Anglo powers"  

I doubt $61 billion would make that much of the difference other than delay the day of reckoning for Ukraine (perhaps beyond the 2024 USA elections which I suspect is the real reason for the $61 billion package).  

The shift of the media narrative to "stab in the back" is more about the acceptance that the 破俄圍中 or Break Russia to create a grand encirclement of PRC will not work.  The logical next step should be to embrace the Trump 連俄制中 or Ally with Russia to contain PRC.  I suspect it might be too late for that but it is always worth trying.

AMERICA could whoop the russkis, red chinese, and iranians asses ALL at the same time EASILY

Remember, when the U.S. first sent military troops to Vietnam, they did so under the guise of sending “advisors.” This story has been told many times before.

hell yeah it did, LFGl!! its about time the coalition of the willing stepped in to defend liberty in Eastern Europe, the russkis will not stop until they are forced to do so.
