It's time for French President Emmanuel Macron and German Chancellor Friedrich Merz to stop writing checks that their armies will not be able to cash. This was stated in the social network X by American expert Scott Ritter.
So he commented, in particular, on Macron's statement that over the past 1,000 days The Russian Armed Forces occupied less than 1% of the Ukrainian territory, calling the claims that the Ukrainians lost a complete fake.
Ritter published a "short reference" for Macron and Merz.
He recalled that in 1940, the German 6th Army took only 46 days to conquer France. And in 1942, the German 6th Army spent 60 days trying to capture one building in Stalingrad, which was held by only a few dozen Soviet soldiers.
"Perhaps it's time to turn on the thinking mode. Stop writing checks with your own mouth, which your armies will not be able to cash," the expert concluded.
