Except in 1814 and 1871…He is French. Just remember, Paris was never taken by force. It always surrendered before it came to that in the last 1000 years.

That was my first thought, probably a bit of truth to it, but being reported as controversially as possible.I don't believe anything about the Macron claims. It would be all over European or French papers and there is nothing.
It was never about NATO.I really dont think the Ukraine invasion is anything to do with NATO expansion, I doubt they care that much, its all smoke and mirrors
To be fair, there must be few things more terrible to experience than a long phone call with Olaf Scholz.Tweet

Go on Olaf. You tell him. Mad Vlad must be rethinking everything now.

Macron and Scholz have been absolutely pathetic through this.Reminding him about the responsibility of the food situation is literally saying 'hey, look at this weapon you've got to use against us, remember that?'
What a fecking melt.

I think they are abandoning efforts at a wide encirclement of Ukrainian troops along the Izyum-Slovyansk-Debaltseve line because (a) the troops from Izyum have suffered big losses; and (b) they've had to send some troops from there back northwards to counter Ukrainian troops pushing east and north-east from the Kharkiv area and which are now threatening the supply lines to Izyum.Tweet

Russian forces at the area are forced to take huge risks to avoid the pushback they suffered near Kyiv.
Who is doing the comms for the German leadership? Christ. Ukraine doesn't want a ceasefire whilst being occupied. It feels like Germany and France keep saying "hold my beer" in recent weeks.Tweet

Believe me, the Germans aren't happy with the situation either, and some cracks are showing in the political system.Who is doing the comms for the German leadership? Christ.

The YouTube guy you mentioned here, can’t remember the name but the army guy with a real punchable face, did a really good vid on Wednesday illustrating this and where Russia could set up strong defensive lines if they wise up. One of his better vids at what feels like another turning point in the war.I think they are abandoning efforts at a wide encirclement of Ukrainian troops along the Izyum-Slovyansk-Debaltseve line because (a) the troops from Izyum have suffered big losses; and (b) they've had to send some troops from there back northwards to counter Ukrainian troops pushing west and north-west from the Kharkiv area and which are now threatening the supply lines to Izyum.

I was thinking about that: Scholz speaking for himself (or the SPD) in that tweet but not really for the coalition government. What are the chances that his and the SPD's stance on Ukraine/Russia will lead to the FPD and Greens replaceing the SPD with the CDU over this?Believe me, the Germans aren't happy with the situation either, and some cracks are showing in the political system.
This morning Scholz attented a meeting of the parliamentary defence committee to answer questions about his politics in regard to Ukraine. Several members left early while he was speaking, as they didn't feel that their questions were answered.
All of them are members of the FDP, which is part of Scholz' government coalition. It doesn't mean much, but it shows how deeply divided the coalition is about Ukraine.

I think the chance is still quite small, but slowly increasing. It is definitely obvious that he does speak neither for the whole government nor for the parliament or public majority.I was thinking about that: Scholz speaking for himself (or the SPD) in that tweet but not really for the coalition government.

Yep, it’s a forced withdrawal.I think they are abandoning efforts at a wide encirclement of Ukrainian troops along the Izyum-Slovyansk-Debaltseve line because (a) the troops from Izyum have suffered big losses; and (b) they've had to send some troops from there back northwards to counter Ukrainian troops pushing west and north-west from the Kharkiv area and which are now threatening the supply lines to Izyum.

Completely agree. There is no agreement with them that can be even remotely trusted. The only way forward is the destruction of Russian troops inside Ukraine until Putin is literally forced to save what is left of them by withdrawing back to the pre-February 24th positions.I think what western leaders completely fail at is understanding a mentality of someone like Putin and his inner circle. Vast majority of them have been been part of criminal gangs in one way or another before they have even stepped a foot in Kremlin, their whole worldview is based on criminal nature or “panjatkax”, where they only respond to force and out of fear. Every phone call like that is interpreted as a sign of weakness in their fecked up heads.
You know what would really help Putin save face? Alsace, Calais, Champagne, Armorique and the Bourdeaux region. Come on Emmanuel, be a hero. Make the call.@onemanarmyIt’s in the telegraph too.Tweet

This could become a bit of a problem. Accession of new countries into NATO requires unanimity.Erdogan said:"We are following the developments regarding Sweden and Finland, but we don't hold positive views," Erdogan told reporters in Istanbul, adding it had been a mistake for NATO to accept Greece as a member in the past.
"As Turkey, we don't want to repeat similar mistakes. Furthermore, Scandinavian countries are guesthouses for terrorist organisations," Erdogan said, without giving details.
"They are even members of the parliament in some countries. It is not possible for us to be in favour," he added."
It could be a play for money. Their economy is in a terrible state.Erdogan says Turkey not supportive of Finland, Sweden joining NATO

Depends on what region Macron was talking about. Is someone really expecting Ukraine to get Crimea back for exemple?@onemanarmyIt’s in the telegraph too.Tweet

We can be sure that Macron wasn't talking about Crimea as that wouldn't save Putin's face at all.Depends on what region Macron was talking about. Is someone really expecting Ukraine to get Crimea back for exemple?
Or F-35s.It could be a play for money. Their economy is in a terrible state.
Is this real? Is this the head of the richest country of Europe? Or is it satire, something like Darth Putin on Twitter?Tweet
