I have always said since about day 3 of the war that one way or another, NATO is going to get dragged kicking and screaming into this conflict. I still believe that. Hope I'm wrong and UA can be armed to the point of doing it themselves, but with just how pathetic the past few months have been outside of a select few countries, I don't see how it's not headed down that path. I think slowly but surely, the big players in the EU realize just how big of a problem this is becoming. Europeans always say that the EU is powerful when it activates, but it takes forever to get there. Case in point. For a country that
only recognizes force and strength, the West as a whole has done such a piss poor job of projecting that towards russia. I don't have an issue with what Macron says, because he might just be realizing that this is a reality that awaits them if they don't act now.
The russians might be sacks of ####, but they aren't stupid. They know exactly how to pull the strings of fear that hang over much of the world and know how to exploit each and every sign of weakness the west has shown for years now. So yeah, it sucks when you hear Macron saying things like this and him anticipating a larger conflict. But this is what you get when you sit around hoping and praying the reds simply go away.
