The President of France, Emmanuel Macron stated tonight that “All Options are on the Table” to prevent Russia from Succeeding in their Invasion of Ukraine including the possible Deployment of NATO Ground Troops, with him further stating, “We will do whatever it takes to ensure that Russia can not Win this War.”
 
I have had some serious doubts and still do about western direct intervention.

BUT in the back of my mind I always wondered if we've invested too much in the war in Ukraine to back out. Even if it means direct intervention if they start to lose.

Thoughts @anyone?

I revert back to my thoughts from the start of this war, if Kyiv looks like it may fall and the government of Ukraine could collapse then don’t rule anything out.
 
French President Macron says sending Western troops on the ground in Ukraine is not ‘ruled out’
PARIS (AP) — French President Emmanuel Macron said Monday that sending Western troops on the ground in Ukraine is not “ruled out” in the future.
Macron spoke after a meeting on Ukraine in Paris brought together over 20 European heads of state and government and other Western officials in Paris.
“There’s no consensus today to send in an official manner troops on the ground. But in terms of dynamics, nothing can be ruled out,” Macron said.

That is from AP. This should be considered confirmed and verified. @DEFCON Warning System @RiffRaff @Friendly Engineer @Irag8er @krzepice1976
 
Personally I’m treating this statement in a few ways. The first is that it’s to scare the U.S. into passing an aid bill so they don’t find it necessary. The second is a message to show resolve to the Russians that they are not going to give up to Ukraine. Third they are talking in the form of trainers or advisors in Ukraine rather than training forces in the west. Lastly, imo least likely, implying that if Kyiv began to fall they could step in. I don’t see how the United States would accept this stance though and I don’t think any country in NATO could act on it without their approval.

I could be wrong but I just don’t know how the west would’ve gone from avoid WW3 at all costs to let’s start WW3.

Maybe the West didn't have to lay their cards down because anytime prior to this Ukraine wasn't losing. Expect for the very beginning before Western arms and aid swooped in & Russia was knocking on Kyiv doorstep...

Prior to Congress and a certain political party holding up aid for Ukraine The West never needed to make such assertions, proclamations, or threats regarding Ukraine security or outcome in the war.

Now that you Ukraine is losing maybe the West is finally showing their true cards. Maybe the Western position all along was if Kyiv falls or if Ukraine starts lose (bad) we step in.
 
Looks to me just political posturing as a consequence of the potentially fading support from the US and the huge amount of criticism that resulted from his posture lately about Ukraine (ie see his missed participation to the summit in Ukraine).
Even because it contradicts what he said earlier in the day.

Also…it is part of a way bigger speach.

"There is no consensus today to send troops to the ground in a formal, assumed and endorsed manner. But in dynamics, nothing should be excluded. We will do everything necessary so that Russia cannot win this war, "
…..

The Head of State did not wish to say more about France's position on this issue, referring to a "strategic ambiguity that I assume". But "I absolutely did not say that France was not in favor of it," he warned. "I will not lift the ambiguity of tonight's debates by giving names. I say that it was mentioned among the options, "he added.

This option had never been mentioned by France before. Questioned at the end of the meeting at the Élysée, Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte assured him that this issue of sending troops to the ground had not been on the agenda. "Many people who say Never, never today were the same who said Never tanks, never planes, never long-range missiles two years ago,"

So yeah…if I get hit by a lightning I may die.
But this does not mean that I will get hit by a lightning
