Massive escalation? This is just France supplying Ukraine and training their soldiers….literally what the west has been doing since the war began

he's being sarcastic about the hypocrisy that Moscow throws a tantrum whenever the West moves a finger but everything they do only contributes to peace.

If it "leads" to nuclear war, that is strictly due to Putin. No one is threatening nukes *except Putin.* Thing is, *if he does, he is instantly dead,* he will absolutely not survive any response. And dictators love nothing more than *staying alive*. So, Putin will do nothing.

>"You want to pretend that one is either pro-Macron or pro-Putin ... this is despicable," far-right leader Marine Le Pen told parliament. I guess it is no longer shocking the global Right is "Pro-Putin." What is shocking is that the Right are not cast out of the country as traitors and enemies of the state for delcaring allegiance to a known enemy.

Tldr: While most parties voted in favor of the bilateral security agreement, this was not the case for the far-right National Rally (Rassemblement National), whose support from and to Russia is well-known, nor for the hard-left France Unbowed (La France Insoumise) that would support anyone anti-NATO. The oppositions from the left (Socialist Party & the Greens) and the right (The Republicans, though 1/4 of them abstained) voted in favor.

What about all the NATO countries that refused Macron's invitation to send troops to Ukraine? Are they also Russia shills and anti-NATO?

You managed to have two strawmen in two sentences. Good job. First, Macron never invited anyone to send troops to Ukraine. He said that there was "no consensus" for that but that "nothing should be excluded" in the future. Second, no one said that other NATO countries were Russia's shills. I only stated that our far-right/eurosceptic party has a number of affair with Russia. Funding from oligarchs, systematic support to Russia in the EU Parliament, sending observers for the pseudo-referendums in the occupied territories since 2014, making a number of dubious interns enter the EU Parliament (notably Peskov's daughter)...

As a group we should start referring to those parties as "The Muscovites."
