WNU Editor: French President Macron will be the first European leader in Moscow, and his view on how to de-escalate the crisis is (IMHO) the right first step that should be pursued to de-escalate the crisis .... Macron vows ‘de-escalation,’ but hints at concessions to Putin (Politico.com.eu).

Great. More key NATO leaders talking to Putin than to Biden. It really sucks to have a corrupt moron as *POTUS.

Putin would like nothing better than to resolve his demands about NATO expansion with Germany and France. He knows the rollback to 1997 borders ain’t happening. His demand to exclude long range missiles from eastern border areas can be guaranteed by Germany.
No USA needed since NATO makes the big decision only by unanimity.
With allied like that, we don't need enemy.

The US seems to be making enemies everywhere these days.
Macron is a pussy boy. Darwinian dead end. Marries a woman old enough to be his mother. has to stage action shots with the military to look masculine.
RussInSoCal,
