but they aren't going to be doing the fighting either... they have their running dog lackeys for that

So now we have combat ready armored vehicles with the EU flag which are being used against unarmed European protesters who are demonstrating against a pro EU authoritarian regime.

So let me get this straight. It’s ok for a globalist no-borders president to call the military of foreign countries to act against his own people but we can’t use our own military to guard against foreign invaders?
This ought to further contribute to a needed awakening around the world
Freepers, I believe this is the moment when rebellion becomes revolution. The tax on tea was a trivial thing, but it inflamed and gave birth to a new nation. The recall of the Estates General on 5 May 1789 was intended to be a mere formality, but it spelled the doom of the Ancien Regime.
To paraphrase Wordsworth: Bliss is it in this dawn to be alive.

I hope you got the irony of your post.
You left out the part about how often these "made in the USA,UN vehicles" are deployed in the USA to keep the peace. I think that the correct answer is ZERO, and for good reason.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Gendarmerie
"The National Gendarmerie (French: Gendarmerie nationale [ʒɑ̃daʁməʁi nasjɔnal]) is one of two national police forces of France, along with the National Police. It is a branch of the French Armed Forces placed under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of the Interior—with additional duties to the Ministry of Defense. Its area of responsibility includes smaller towns, rural and suburban areas, while the Police Nationale—a civilian force—is in charge of cities and downtowns."
The local police are starting to side with the protesters.
GatewayPundit bullshit. These are Berliet VXB-170 armoured vehicles belonging to the French National Gendarmerie (a type of police). They probably had the EU flag painted on it because they are sometimes sent abroad for peacekeeping duty.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Berliet_VXB-170
“The Berliet VXB-170 is a four-wheel armoured vehicle used primarily as an Internal security vehicle. Developed and initially produced by Berliet until Berliet was merged with Saviem to form Renault Trucks (now Renault Trucks Défense), it lost to the Saviem VAB the competition to equip the French Army, even though it was cheaper than its competitor. Production stopped after less than 200 vehicles had been produced.
Its main user, the French National Gendarmerie, calls it Véhicule blindé à roues de la Gendarmerie (”Gendarmerie wheeled armoured vehicle”) or VBRG.”
I am pretty sure of my guess the EU insignia is because they came back from some EU peacekeeping mission. EU has 7 peacekeeping missions in Africa, 4 in Europe + Iraq and Israel. In order to avoid confusion the vehicles of all participants are stamped with the EU flag in addition to other symbols.
These are not military vehicles for fighting. They are armored vehicles for policing.
Y'know, I've begun to think that Macron's contrition was contrived. :^)
Why the EU? Does France not have enough of its own police?

There have been stories and vids of the police siding with the protesters in various places in France.
SunkenCiv, there is stuff in your list that is fake news. I noticed because the very first one “A group of French police officers remove their helmets to show solidarity with the French” is fake news. The police just removed their helmets as part of the negotiation to tell the riot kids to go home. They weren’t having any solidarity with them. It’s reported deceptively by outlets like Russia Today and your link “BNL NEWS”. I hadn’t heard of BNL NEWS before, but it doesn’t seem to be trustworthy or really anything at all ... googling it just brings up an anonymous twitter account with low follower count.
In my opinion there is a huge internet push trying to make these rioters looks like something they aren’t and fake news are part of it. (I am not sympathetic to these .... “protesters”)
Rodney King, call your Press Agent.
“I think that the correct answer is ZERO, and for good reason.”
I hope that remains true far into the future. But there are some in this country that look forward to seeing military vehicles with U.N.emblems. Wonder if centurion 316 will be laughing then.
Laughing at you fools. Good entertainment, keep it up. Have you ever dealt with the UN, the EU, or any other multi-national organization in action around the world? Any good Boy Scout troop, the Volunteer Fire Department, or Meals on Wheels operation could deal with these bozos. In the Balkans, I had to wake them up everytime I rolled into one of there so called “positions”.
