President Macron Says He is “Opposed to Self-Defense” After Farmer Shoots One of Four Burglars Who Broke Into His Home
Tone deaf comments hurt presidential hopes just days away from first round.
After a farmer was charged with murder for shooting a man after four burglars broke into his home, French President Emmanuel Macron said people should not have the right to self-defense.

Yes, really.

You'd be hard pressed to find political support for self defense in most of Europe.

Your find a great deal of support among the population, very little among the politicians.

I have no idea why everybody is supporting the Ukrainians killing the Russians. They should just let the United Nations come in and police the country.

Why are we allowing Ukrainians to recklessly defend their lives when we have United Nations that can protect it.

United Nations was created just for this purpose and they have a long history of protecting people all over the world.

The news reports that over 4 million have fled Ukraine. Instead of fleeing, if those went in the other direction, towards the Russian boarder, what would the 100,000 Russian army be able to accomplish against those numbers.Safety in numbers to some extent. The lessons learned, the government can not protect you. The people can.

Yes. When you run away from your enemy, what does that tell your enemy.
The Ukrainian President most likely started this by posturing about joining the UN.

Macron is in the middle of an election against LePen.

The French elite view her like ours view Trump. (I don’t like Trump, but Biden is no better, just different.) The French are not happy about the thought of all these people with guns shooting people. I wonder what the resistance would be like if the Nazis got to deal with the current French national opinion.

The point being is that I am not Ukrainian or of Russian descent. This should be the Ukrainian citizen’s fight. Not flight. Now once Russia takes over Canada and decides to take on the U.S. then when you flee to( ? ) if I’m still living, I will move towards the fight not away. Don’t inject Mexico, the Democrats have already started with a ( peace full) invasion.
