There is nothing courageous or helpful about French President Emmanuel Macron’s call to world powers not to humiliate Vladimir Putin over the Russian despot’s onslaught against Ukraine. As with German Chancellor Olaf Scholz’s refusal, despite repeated questioning, to say he wants to see Russia defeated militarily, Mr Macron’s ill-timed call suggests defeatism as Mr Putin renews his attacks on Kiev and appears to be making advances in the Donbas…
I have asked the commanding general, General Westmoreland, what more he needs to meet this mounting aggression. He has told me. And we will meet his needs. We cannot be defeated by force of arms. We will stand in Vietnam.”
Mr Putin must be disabused of any such expectation. Russia already stands humiliated in the eyes of the international community for what it has done in Ukraine. This is not the time to offer an accommodation to Mr Putin in the hope, as Mr Macron said, “on the day the fighting stops we can build a way out through diplomatic channels” that will “avoid a wider escalation of hostilities”. The need now is to ensure Ukraine has all the weaponry and other resources it needs to defeat Russia militarily and diplomatically.

Russia already stands humiliated in the eyes of the international community for what it has done in Ukraine.
Willing to bet that Putin doesn’t give a crap what the ‘international community’ thinks about anything. No sensible person does. I can’t believe anyone is still pushing this fiction about the precious regard of the ‘international community’. The self-regard of these people is risible.
“International Community” is a handy alias for all the wankers who post unironically on Linked In.
Then I assume Cuba and Venezuela will soon be capitulating to the ‘International Community’ as well.
Macron, for all his faults, has a grasp of history.
When even Noam Chomsy wishes Trump was dealing with the Russia-Ukraine situation you know that the USA and EU/Nato have stuffed it.

The dissonance of the Australian’s article with the facts on the ground are breathtaking.

‘It Became Necessary to Destroy the Country to Save It’
By David P. Goldman May 30, 2022
The Australian front page headline today:
Mafia rules crime gang networks
Page 2:
Indigenous violence is ‘femicide’
And Albanese is photographed riding a bike around Jakarta like a Coolie.
Meanwhile, a competent Government has been replaced by clowns, but that ain’t news.
Wondering how long it will be before deranged hawks (on either side of politics) suggest invading Russia to remove Putin and enforce unconditional surrender.
Like him or hate him, Putin is not Hitler, and this is not WWII.
The Australian is a joke, divorced from reality in this case at least.
