2022: Russia starts an endeavor that Western sources prophesied about for months and which some sympathizers of it say it was inevitable for 8 years already - the Russian Federation invades the former Eastern territories of Ukraine (since 2014: the self-proclaimed independent peoples’ republics of Donezk and Luhansk), officially calling it a “special military operation” in order to stop the ongoing bloodshed against ethnic Russians that takes place on these territories since shortly after a coup d'état in Kiev known as “Euromaidan”.


The situation is still ongoing with no end of the hostilities in sight - and due to the entanglement of several European countries and the United States of America in this issue (making it a matter of larger extent than just a regional conflict between neighboring countries), on both sides, everyone has to watch their mouth what to say and write and how about the conflict in public.

What Macron recently stated - due to it suposedly having been on a bigger pro-Ukraine event, should probably seen as something of the usual pure opportunism. He didn't really think that through to the end, he just threw something into the room which he thought would "aid" or "do Ukraine good".

But, in fact, indirectly, he did a chunk of a service with that.
Because all the other European and NATO countries signaled refusal - or at least no support for that.
In other words, he brought to the surface: NATO is not going to come to "save" Ukraine. NATO and the EU countries aren't willing to enter the big war with Russia.
And that is... more like a kick in the ass of that clown from Kiev. - If that one even notices it at all.
