Will Macron Cause World War III? By Richard Miller (London)
The aggressive stance taken by French president Emmanuel Macron to Russia over the Ukraine War, by sending French troops into the Ukraine, has led to Hungarian Foreign Minister Peter Szijjarto warning that this could be putting the world on the road to all-out nuclear war. "If a NATO member commits ground troops, it will be a direct NATO-Russia confrontation and it will then be World War Three," Szijjarto said. "Let's be clear: if there is a nuclear war, everything and everyone will be lost. If there is a nuclear war, everyone will die and everything will be destroyed, which no one with any common sense can wish for," Szijjarto also said.
If this is so, and Russia has repeatedly said this, then why is Macron pushing on this, as France could be reduced to the new Stone Age, or just to stones by one Russian Satan II missile? Does Macron have a death wish, and will he even be in France if this takes place? I suspect not, as he will jump ship like the rest of the globalist warmongers.

"Hungarian Foreign Minister Peter Szijjarto has condemned the latest remarks from French President Emmanuel Macron about the option of sending troops to Ukraine, and has warned such a move could ultimately spark an all-out nuclear war.
Speaking to French broadcaster LCI on Thursday, Szijjarto was asked for his take on Macron's renewed threat to deploy his country's troops to back up Kiev. The diplomat strongly condemned the idea, saying that the French leader's comments themselves have contributed to escalating the situation.
"If a NATO member commits ground troops, it will be a direct NATO-Russia confrontation and it will then be World War Three," Szijjarto told the broadcaster.
Macron made fresh belligerent remarks in an interview with The Economist published Thursday, doubling down on previous statements about the prospect of deploying French troops to Ukraine. The president said his original remarks, made earlier this year, were a "strategic wake-up call for my counterparts." He suggested that Paris could deploy troops "if the Russians were to break through the front lines" and a request for help came from Kiev.
Hungary's top diplomat also criticized Macron's idea that France's nuclear weapons could become a part of a "credible European defense."
"In peacetime it would be different, but in wartime such statements can be misinterpreted and have serious consequences," Szijjarto stated, warning that, should the situation escalate into a global nuclear war, "it will be over for everyone."
Speaking to Hungarian broadcaster M1 earlier in the day, the minister also rejected NATO's proposed €100 billion ($107 billion) five-year plan for a war chest to prop up Ukraine, floated by Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg, describing it as "madness."
"In the coming weeks during negotiations we will fight for Hungary's right to stay away from this madness, from collecting these 100 billion and siphoning them out of Europe," Szijjarto stated.
Hungary has been consistently opposed to the growing involvement of both the US-led NATO and the EU in the Ukrainian conflict, refusing to support Kiev militarily, including through sending weaponry or training Ukrainian troops."
"Hungarian Foreign Minister Peter Szijjarto has warned that French President Emmanuel Macron's threat to send NATO troops to Ukraine risks sparking World War III.
In an interview with The Economist last week, Macron said the question of sending western troops to Ukraine would "legitimately" arise if Russia broke through the Ukrainian front lines and Kyiv made such a request.
Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov reacted by describing Macron's statements as "very dangerous."
Now Hungarian diplomat Peter Szijjarto warns that the French leader's comments represent a stunning escalation.
"If a NATO member commits ground troops, it will be a direct NATO-Russia confrontation and it will then be World War Three," said Szijjarto.
He also drew attention to the fact that such a conflict would likely escalate into nuclear confrontation.
"Let's be clear: if there is a nuclear war, everything and everyone will be lost. If there is a nuclear war, everyone will die and everything will be destroyed, which no one with any common sense can wish for," said Szijjarto.
Meanwhile, senior Italian government officials have joined the growing number of prominent voices condemning Macron over his comments.
"Sending Italian soldiers to fight outside the EU borders? Follow the obsessions of some dangerous and desperate European leader like Macron? No thanks, never in the name of the League," remarked Deputy Prime Minister Matteo Salvini.
Italian Defence Minister Guido Crosetto also told the Corriere della Sera newspaper, "I don't judge a president of a friendly country like France, but I don't understand the purpose and usefulness of these declarations, which objectively raise tensions." As we previously highlighted, the former commander of the UK's Joint Forces Command General Sir Richard Barrons said Ukraine is at "serious risk" of having to admit defeat to Russia this year.
Barrons said that pessimism is starting to set in amongst the population, generating a general malaise and a feeling that Ukraine "can't win.""
