He brought up history after French President Emmanuel Macron labelled Russia a threat.
Some people still “can’t get over” Napoleon’s defeat by Russia, President Vladimir Putin has said. He made his comments after French President Emmanuel Macron labelled Moscow a threat in a belligerent speech.
In a televised address on Wednesday, Macron called Russia a “threat to France and Europe” and said that he was considering expanding Paris’s nuclear umbrella to protect other EU member states.
Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov called Macron’s speech “highly confrontational” and claimed that Paris was “apparently contemplating war.”
Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov compared the French president to Napoleon, whose disastrous invasion of Russia eventually led to his downfall.
Putin also referenced the war with Napoleon during his meeting with the members of the Defenders of the Fatherland Foundation in Moscow on Thursday. One of the attendees mentioned a church in Smolensk, a city in western Russia that was briefly occupied by Napoleon’s troops in 1812.
“You’ve mentioned Smolensk, its museum, and the church that has existed since Napoleon’s invasion,” Putin said. “Some people still can’t get over it. There are still people who want to return to the times of Napoleon, but they are forgetting how it ended.”
After subduing most of continental Europe, Napoleon led his 600,000-strong Grande Armee (Great Army) into Russia, which was ruled by Emperor Alexander I at the time. Despite occupying Moscow after the bloody battle of Borodino, Napoleon was unable to make the Russians surrender and was forced to hastily retreat, losing the majority of his army in the process.
EU countries have been rushing to find alternatives to American military presence in Europe after US President Donald Trump reversed his predecessor’s policies of “isolating” Russia on the world stage and refused to blame Moscow for the Ukraine conflict. On Monday, he reportedly halted all weapons deliveries to Kiev.

Ah, if Napoleon was beaten by Russia, he did nevertheless great things for France. And had France’s best interest at hart
Such as implementation of law, ( code civil and code penal , prefects) reintroducing “Roman law” in France after the 1789 revolution , reintroducing gold standard etc.
Macron is nothing compared with Napoleon. He is a traitor to France and French interest. Has ” sold” many vital French asset’s to foreign ( US) interests and multinationals ( blackrock). Has nothing but contempt for the French population.
His predecessors sarkozy and hollande were not much better.
Most hated politicians by the French population.
Curse them !!
I bow to your comment.
My meme was a bit legless.
To be fair Macron isnt worthy of being Bonaparte’s left testicle.
To be fair, macron is not worthy of being spoken off at all.
Ignoring him is the best punishment for the little creep.
Russia has always defeated psychopaths who indulged themselves with delusions of grandeur.

Western politicians are also self-delusional, especially in the UN-elected E.U. ‘Parliament’ , the U.N. and also in *NATO (*Satanic reversion is OTAN, ).
Russia and Putin only asked for 3 things from the Minsk Agreement which the EU and Victoria Nuland violated;
1. Ukraine will never join NATO, and would remain a Neutral Country;
2. No offensive weapons were to be placed on Ukrainian soil that would be a threat to Russia;
3. The Zionist violence of 10+ years by the pseudo-Khazarian Ukrainian J3wi$h Government against the Russian regions of the Donbass and Lugansk Regions would stop, and that the election results of eastern Ukraine re-joining Russia should be honoured!
