WWIII on the Horizon? Macron and Starmer Rush to Get Boots on the Ground in Ukraine.

We’re starting to glimpse the contours of the European deep state plan to stop Russia from taking over Ukraine. Macron and Starmer are now desperate to push through the ‘boots-on-ground’ initiative in a deliberately obfuscating way. They are haranguing about it like it’s something meant to occur only at such time that an agreement on the conflict’s full cessation is reached. But in reality, it increasingly looks like they mean to jam through the troops at the earliest opportune moment, in order to ‘checkmate’ Russia from being able to advance any further.

As such, we’re meant to believe the much-ballyhooed “30-day ceasefire” is supposed to be some kind of good-faith purity test for Russia to ‘prove’ its commitment to ending the conflict. In actuality, it seems to be a trick designed to ram through European troops to immediately secure Ukraine’s most sensitive zones, and dissuade Russia from further advancement.

Starmer kicked it off this week with his announcement that the troop deal has reached an “operational phase” of discussion:

U.K. Prime Minister Keir Starmer has announced that European defense and military leaders will meet in London on Thursday, as planning for a peacekeeping mission in Ukraine enter an “operational phase” with over a dozen countries having agreed to participate in such a mission.

Macron then took the ball and built on the impotent threat-making:

European countries that agree to send a military contingent to Ukraine, allegedly for an observation mission, can do so without Russia’s consent, French President Emmanuel Macron said in an interview with Le Parisien.

“Ukraine is a sovereign country. If it asks for allied troops to be present on its territory, it is not up to Russia to decide whether to agree or not,” he said.

According to the newspaper, the Franco-British plan to send so-called peacekeepers to Ukraine is in the final stages of being agreed upon.

In an interview with Le Parisien, Macron seemed to give the game away by implying small groups of troops would be inserted into key cities with or without Russia’s permission, as long as Ukraine ‘asks for them’:

Macron told Le Parisien that Europe could send troops to Ukraine without Russia’s consent. The Franco-British plan already interests several countries. The goal isn’t a mass of soldiers but a few thousand for training in Kyiv, Odesa, Lviv. It’s our support. Ukraine is sovereign, and Putin has no say, he stressed.

Note the deliberate ambiguity—neither Starmer or Macron are explicitly mentioning during which ‘ceasefire’, precisely, this coalition would be activated. Macron merely implies it would be if “Ukraine asks for it”. The implication is, if Ukraine happens to “ask” for these troops even during the initial 30-day ‘good faith’ ceasefire, the Europeans plan to have contingents ready to be dropped in. This looks particularly likely given the case that Zelensky has gone on record yesterday complaining that the 30 days is in fact too short and, owing to the amount of involvement from other European nations, a longer initial ‘ceasefire’ is ideal.

 
Again, it is clear that the bogus 30-day ceasefire is meant to be a trap for Russia, designed to immediately pump up Ukraine with weapons and potentially European troops—if a consensus can be reached in time.

This is all par for the course for any long-time readers, as we predicted here as far back as 2023 that the conclusion of the war would go precisely along this mode. But the sudden urgency does lend an interesting angle, as it seems to suggest that Ukraine’s situation is more dire than is being let on. Recall all the talk of summer-time collapse: it’s possible the Europeans know that a new round of Russian spring-to-summer offensives could be the final straw on the exhausted Ukrainian camel’s back.

Not one nation thus far has even logically explained what the purpose of the “30-day ceasefire” is. Does anyone know, or even care to pretend at knowing? In Gaza, at least, such things followed a practical line, with thousands of civilians trapped and without food. In Ukraine, the only ones currently trapped are alleged to be thousands of Ukrainian troops somewhere in Kursk, which again implies the ceasefire’s purpose is to save Ukraine.

 
In general, the bellicose saber-rattling and threats have reached peak proportions, as European countries do everything in their power to fear-monger citizens into signing up for WWIII:

 
Starmer supercharged the rhetoric by snowing the plebs with absurd lies about Russia already “menacing the UK’s skies, waters, and streets”:

Case in point:

 
It’s the same old classic “fake it til you make it” act: they are merely trying to turn the ‘prophecy’ into a self-fulfilling one by treating it as if it were real. But there is no real consensus, and their plan has little chance of conjuring it from thin air, particularly given that the US has already counted itself out of any troop involvement.

Both the French and British know how politically risky the move is—if their troops begin coming home in body bags from Russian strikes, and there’s no Mommy US to back them up, their fragile political regimes would crumble from public outrage, especially since they’re already hanging on by a tenuous thread.

The West has a Sunk Cost problem: they’ve invested everything not only into the Ukraine war itself, but now into the image of their own strength and ability to manifest peace at will. In other words, they told the world Russia was weak, and that they had the global clout to bring Putin to the table anytime they saw fit.

Instead, the rampaging bear has not slowed, and Western puppet leaders are panickedly fighting the narrative current, pushing inertia for its own sake to signal faux-strength and leadership on global issues. They continue pretending that negotiations are drawing ever-nearer in a comic rendition of Zeno’s Paradox, all the while Russia cajoles them with the ol’ snickering wink as it pushes inexorably forward.
