"Macron's Stance on Sending Troops to Ukraine Sparks Controversy"

French President Emmanuel Macron's penchant for making headline-grabbing statements and rhetorical bombs, such as suggesting NATO countries might send troops to help defend Ukraine, has been dismissed as grandstanding. His recent public consideration of sending ground troops to Ukraine, despite clear opposition from NATO allies, has drawn swift denouncement and revealed a lack of seriousness, undermining the cause. While the West must consider all options to help Ukraine, dropping rhetorical bombs publicly is not the way to do so.
