It was the penultimate double down by the West in the morning with the U.S., Britain and France threatening troop deployment any day. The Russians then immediately went to the ultimate double down with their theater nuke exercises! Thank God, the West apparently realize that Putin can’t be bluffed and certainly doesn’t bluff. Dangerous, dangerous business.

Medvedev referred to them as “infantile morons.” That tells me the west is skating on very thin ice with all this Biden-talk. Really bad idea.

No French Army units have been given orders for movement to Ukraine.

Some French Army instructors are in Ukraine.

There are some former members of the FFL, now fighting alongside Ukraine troops inside Ukraine - some of them, as members of Ukraine’s international legion.

There are some Russians who were former members of the FFL, now fighting alongside Russian troops inside Ukraine.

March 7, 2022:
https://foreignlegion.info/2022/03/07/french-foreign-legion-and-ukraine/

FFL HQ then assured Ukrainians who are members of the FFL, that they may take 2 weeks leave, in order to affect improvements regarding the security of their families.

The French Army, French Foreign Legion (FFL), 3rd Foreign Infantry Regiment (3e Régiment Étranger d’Infanterie, 3e REI) has not been ordered to Ukraine. It is regiment trained for jungle warfare.

The 3rd Foreign Infantry Regiment (3e REI) is stationed in French Guiana - on the South Atlantic Coast of South America. The regiment is a jungle regiment.

See the FFL webpage:

http://foreignlegion.info/units/3rd-foreign-infantry-regiment/

Current structure of the 3rd Foreign Infantry Regiment

The regiment is divided (in 2024) into 4 companies. It comprises nearly 500 officers and legionnaires (usually assigned to the regiment for two years), including a small number of non-Legion military personnel. Some 160 men form rotational units (these men are provided by the Legion or French regular forces) and usually rotate every four months. A reserve company consisting of non-Legion reservists is also attached to the 3e REI.

The 3rd Foreign Infantry Regiment is a military reserve unit tasked with several missions. First, the regiment protects the Guiana Space Center, a French and European spaceport located at Kourou (this mission has been called Operation Titan since 2008). Second, it ensures the territorial integrity of French Guiana and its security, which means patrolling the Guiana forest and taking action against foreign illegal gold diggers (Operation Harpie since 2008).

Finally, the 3e REI operates the famous Jungle Training Center (Centre d’Entraînement en Forêt Equatoriale, CEFE) in Regina (since 1986), where hard military jungle training courses are organized for legionnaires, French troops, and foreign soldiers from allied armies (an international jungle training course called JAGUAR).

The regiment is attached to the Abroad & Overseas Specialized HQ (EMSOME) together with the DLEM.

In 2024, the 3e REI is composed of:

HQ & Logistics Company (Compagnie de Commandement et de Soutien, CCS)

2nd Infantry Company (2e Compagnie de d’Infanterie, 2e CIE)

3rd Infantry Company (3e Compagnie de d’Infanterie, 3e CIE)

Combat Support Company (Compagnie d’Appui, CA) – formed with rotational platoons, including artillery elements

4th Infantry Reserve Company (4e Compagnie d’Infanterie de Réserve, 4e CIE)

No French Army units have been given orders for movement to Ukraine.

I noticed the French army on orders for Ukraine is structured like the Carthaginian army: all their troops are foreigners, except the officers.

How did that work out for Carthage?

If anybody’s bluffing it’s Moscow.

France attended the Russian festatives today. Something being worked along lines of Olympics, and Russian red lines. That France was in attendance means serious talks started today.
Belarous joined Russian tactical operations.
As things happen you can keep up in relative 12-36 hours news here.

Not true, Frenchmen can join the Legion and many do.

Thanks for sharing Putin's latest propaganda.

If you think Putin doesn't bluff you might want to get in touch with one of those Nigerian princes with extra money.
