Is macron the most powerful president in Europe?

[Anonymous]

It looks like Russia is scared of him more than any other president in Europe

Yes... the French will pummel the Russians in Ukraine with their tasty croissants... their crescent shape is aerodynamically formed by master French craftsmen at the finest boulangeries for transnational long range flight.

And you seriously think a country that was conquered in the Franco-Prussian War...

... and taken to brink in WW1

... and conquered in WW2

... and chased out of French Indochina by the Vietnamese...

... are going to take on the Russian military?

Hmmm. I wonder what the standing military strength of France is:

France’s total active military personnel is about 200,000.

Russia’s active military personnel is 1,320,000.

They literally have a million more active troops than they do. One million.

Maybe you’re counting on the France’s what? Their Air Force? Do you really think the Ukrainians have air superiority? Do you seriously think that France is going to fly aircraft aaaaalllllll the way to Ukraine... and not have them immediately shot down once they enter the theatre of war? I know! Maybe they will be safe at those Ukrainians airfields that the Russians totally don’t know about and aren’t bombing. 🙄

Look. I can tell you know very, very little about war. You know even less about geopolitics. The Russians have been chewing up the Ukrainians. Have they “won”? Well no, the war isn’t over, but the Russians have been at this now for a looong time. Those men fighting in Ukraine are veterans now—the Russian military has learned how to operate there in Ukraine, what works, what doesn’t m, they know the terrain, have their logistics together, their supply lines are shorter, they have more assets in the area...

... and you think the new guy who’s been sitting on the bench is going to be a ringer and win the game.

Except he hasn’t won the game in, oh well, over a hundred years. 🙄🤦‍♂️
