NATO: Has Putin Shit His Pants Yet?

Macron has ruled in the possibility of NATO troops one day being deployed in theatre. If you prefer, Ukraine. No wonder Putin is already sabre-rattling, since the prospect of NATO troops in Ukraine is enough to make your average Russian general shit his pants. 

And then there's plausible deniability pour la forme: Both Germany and Poland are playing good cop to France's bad cop -- no, no, neither of them will even consider deploying forces in Ukraine. Right.

Now to the elephant in the room -- you know, the real possibility that later rather than sooner, Ukraine could be overrun by the Russians. Could happen, eventually. And seriously, if that happens, does anyone with a brain actually think that NATO would allow that? I don't think so. 

So, Macron has fired the trial balloon, to get people used to the idea of NATO coming in to save Ukraine, le cas échéant.

If my name is Putin, I would start wearing industrial diapers because he's going to need 'em if Ukraine ends up on the ropes. 

Ain't it just grand!
