Former advisor to the French President Henri Guaino:

Former advisor to the French President Henri Guaino: “Remember how the Vietnam War began for the Americans? It all started with sending instructors. And after 4 years there were 500 thousand of them, and they went to war. It’s the same story in this war. This is an escalation. We are playing with fire, arguing that we sent offensive weapons and nothing happened. Then the tanks - nothing happened, then the planes - nothing happened. Now we allow shooting on Russian territory - you’ll see, nothing will happen. But the problem with red lines is that we don’t know which one will be the last one. I think this is very dangerous. At this stage it deserves a big national debate. The President has the right to urgently send troops if it is in the interests of France, if it is in danger. There is no emergency here. The nation has a say in what can and will take us very far.” Source: Russian Head
