I'm just going to ask you one quick question.

And then we're going to sign off.

And it has to do with Macron.

Yeah.

And his statements.

Yeah.

Alexander, what do you make of Macron's statements about NATO troops or EU troops,

possibly entering into the conflict in Ukraine. Your thoughts? Well, I think it is, first

of all, the symptom of panic. I mean, they can see the way in which the situation in Ukraine is now

accelerating out of their control. So it's panic. But people who are in panic, and, you know, he called this urgent meeting to the

Alisei Palace, brought people from, you know, all 20 countries to come along and attend.

People who are panicking do incredibly reckless and dangerous things.

And I have to say, I'm not too surprised that it is Macron who's advocating this. And it may happen.

I mean, you know, there's a lot of talk about this now.

You remember we were talking a few days ago about this talk about setting up this iron triangle of fortified cities on the Nipa River to try to hold the Russians back.

We've had all this rhetoric now for several weeks about the fact that the Russians are coming

and we've got to stop them on the NEPA or somewhere else.

So I could just quite easily see the political leaders in France, Germany,

of course, enthusiastically embracing this, wanting to send troops into Ukraine. Now, various governments,

Sweden, for example, I believe Germany as well, have said that they're not going to do this.

But...

And the Polish foreign minister, I think he's also said, yeah.
