The leaders of the French parliamentary parties and French President Emmanuel Macron held a meeting on the morning of 7 March, and the latter briefed them on the frontline situation in Ukraine and his vision of French support for Kyiv.
It’s worthwhile considering the effect of a russian victory. Look at the effect 1.6 million Syrian refugees had on the EU. They fueled exit movements in multiple nations, which Brexit quieted down. They pushed far right parties to the forefront, damaged cohesion and threatened the Union. What would 6 or 7 million pissed off, betrayed, often veteran, Ukrainian refugees do to the cohesion of the EU? It’s not a war that Ukraine would lose alone. France is showing the urgency of response the entire democratic world needs to show.

That is, bad. To be clear, I’m pointing out why that’s a bad idea. The rules of cold warfare are pretty established now, let’s follow them.
