Macron warns Western troops could join Ukraine war: should they? | LBC debate

Earlier this week, the French President Emmanuel Macron gave a speech on the importance of Ukraine winning the war against Russia.
Macron did not rule out the possibility that French troops could be sent to Ukraine, arguing that Vladimir Putin is the 'aggressor' and cannot be allowed to win.
"We’re not in that situation today," he said, but then added “all these options are possible.”
On the back of this, LBC's Shelagh Fogarty asked her listeners whether they would accept Britain and other Western forces sending troops to fight in the war if it meant stopping Russia.

There was a press conference that President Putin and Macron had where Putin agreed that the strength and potential of all the NATO countries was more than that of Russia. I believe he said, "we know", then he mentioned that Russia had more nukes and more advanced capabilities in that area and other weapon systems. What he was saying for those who want to listen is that he's aware that a conventional war will be lost by Russia therefore he would not start one, but if NATO starts one Russia is prepared to nuke them even if that means mutual destruction. he once said that a world without Russia would not be a world worth living in.

So true. But then the problem is that they believe their own 🐂 💩. They genuinely believe that Russia is "isolated" despite the FACT that the vast majority of the world is NOT sanctioning them. And continues to do trade and diplomacy with them. Not to mention they belong to international blocs like BRICS and the Shanghai cooperation organisation. Direct war with NATO = WW3. Plain and simple.

@@michaelmaguire9330 I know about the 3 people you mentioned and what they have claimed and how wrong those claims have been. Ritter and MacGregor are analogous to a man trying to predict the finishing time of a marathon runner. “He’s going to cross the finishing line in the next five minutes” they say. Every five minutes for the last 16 hours… At this point it has long since ceased to be possible to portray this as a prediction based on evidence and analysis. Even if that marathon runner does eventually finish “in the next five minutes” they can’t be considered to have correctly predicted this. At this point continuing to listen to what they have to say as if it were accurate and/or honest is a delusional waste of time. The professor has made numerous and consequential errors in the factual basis of his thesis. His failure to correct those and reevaluate, coupled with his thesis often being at significant odds with historical reality, means he is not worth listening to on this subject.

[@arthurrafferty4102]

What people like Shelagh ignore is that Russia tried to avoid this confrontation. For eight years they tried to use the Minsk accords to find a diplomatic solution only to be faced with the truth as expressed by Poroshenko, Merkel and Hollande that the accords were bogus and meant to prepare for war. Well the west and Ukraine got their war. Putin and Russia were never the problem it was always the conniving, underhand west who pushed this war with NATO expansion and regime change which gave rise to this catastrophy.

Wrong, Russia made "peace treaty" demands that they knew in advance that NATO would never be able to agree to, just go look for > Russia issues list of demands to NATO - DW < the 17. December 2021 and you will find that Russia did not only make demands regarding Ukraine, but also was demanding the end of all NATO military activity and bases in all of eastern Europe and Central Asia, and that there would be no further expansion of NATO. Demands that Russia knew in advance would be rejected, so they could use it as an excuse to later put the blame on NATO for their invasion of Ukraine, that they obviously had already planned a very long time in advance.

[@magnificentbastard5085]

The first caller was astoundingly ignorant, spouting Kremlin propaganda and talking points and foolishly taking as honest and accurate the various claims of Russia’s (routinely exaggerated) military capabilities. Whilst apparently completely unaware that the NATO weapons the Ukrainians have been using to such devastating effect are mostly not the latest and greatest but rather the near obsolete often multiple generations out of date remnants of NATO’s back catalogue. That’s why Fogarty (and many, many others) were laughing at him.

[@stewartfenton9099]

Because everything he said is correct. Russia is outproducing shells, ammunition and new weapons seven times faster than the whole of NATO countries combined and logistics is the number one requirement in any war and I can tell you exactly why. It is because Russian weapons and Ammunition are all produced in house from materials to manufacture (Russia has the worlds largest reserves of raw materials. Western weapons and ammo rely on parts and materials and chemicals from hundreds of different companies from numerous different countries all over the world which includes China for chemicals to make explosives by the way, so ramping up production for NATO can be almost impossible but Russia whose government controls the production rather than for profit share holders can and has ramped up production over night. Russia also has the best air defense system in the world with the S400 and S500. They also have hypersonic missiles which can and are taking out our stuff before we even know its coming. Ukraine losses have been huge like he said around half a million killed and probably double that number injured and maimed. Ukraine are now kidnapping people off the streets to send to the front line there are videos of this all over the internet they are that desperate. They are sending women and anyone between 18 and 60 years old to the front line and they have asked other countries to forcibly send back people who have left the country so that they can be forcibly send them to the front line. The truth is that Ukraine has turned into a scrap yard for NATO weapons @@SimonParker-hv6uu
