At a tense moment in the international situation, Macron's remarks provoked a strong reaction, especially among NATO countries. While some countries tried to downplay his statement, the United States and Germany were particularly nervous.
During this period, French Foreign Minister Jean-Yves Le Drian came forward to declare that France had no plans to send ground troops. This move was interpreted as France playing with the psychology of other countries, especially the United States and Germany.
The United States was embarrassed and outraged by Macron's remarks, believing that France was challenging NATO unity. To this end, US Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin said that if Russia wins in Ukraine, NATO could go to war with Russia, which is seen as a riposte to Macron.
During this period, Macron also conveyed to the world France's tough position, saying that it would increase the readiness of strategic nuclear forces. This statement not only showed the strength of France to the outside world, but also sent a warning signal to Russia.
The whole incident shows that France will not be easily intimidated, but will resolutely respond to any threat against it. Therefore, other countries should not underestimate France's strength and determination.
As for what happens next, we can only wait and see.
