Hindustan Times Macron Silent As Top General’s Russia Warning Sends Shockwaves; ‘Accept Losing Children In War’ | EU

France is in turmoil after Army Chief General Fabien Mandon warned lawmakers that the country “must be ready to lose children” in a future war with Russia—a stark statement that set off a firestorm across the political spectrum. Mandon insisted French forces should prepare for a potentially violent conflict with Russia by 2028 and urged acceptance of potential casualties and economic hardship. The left-wing La France Insoumise leader Jean-Luc Mélenchon denounced the remarks, demanding President Macron reassert political authority over military rhetoric and condemning the general’s warnings as overstepping and alarmist. The controversy comes as France grapples with soaring debt, debates historic defense spending increases, and faces questions from both military and civilian leaders about the nation’s readiness and strategic priorities in a possible confrontation with Russia.
