The war in Ukraine is “existential for our Europe and for France”, Mr Macron said in the interview on France 2 and TF1.

“Do you think that the Poles, the Lithuanians, the Estonians, the Romanians and the Bulgarians could remain at peace for a second [in the event of a Russian victory in Ukraine]?” he asked. “If Russia wins this war, Europe’s credibility would be reduced to zero.”

No, Biden should send the US army as he has the ability to do so.

US does not care about Ukraine, they only antogonize Russia. Then yeah, given what we have seen on the battlefield, if NATO will go boot on the ground Russia probably will have some serious problem (not that now they have not).

But he is too weak to stand up to Putin, especially in an election year, so compromise is necessary.

Maybe from a US point of view, but here we are discussing Europe.
It is about time that Europe (and EU) begin to be what we say we are.

I think that here Macron is damn right. Russia must not win this war because any concession we do to Russia now will be seen as "we can do whatever we want because in the end they fold".
Putin tried to take Ukraine exactly because EU and US did nothing when he took Crimea (if not talking).

And this whatever the US say.
