Although delivered by Putin’s yapping junkyard dog, I believe this reflects Russia’s official position if Macron is that stupid.

IDK if France is doing this or not, but if they are, I would not be so sure that their troops would take a licking. The Russians have been relentless but not very efficient and force protection seems to be an alien concept to them. I could easily see a force of France’s best troops making a lot of mincemeat against the Russian conscripts.

He’s got a point: what more does Russia have invested fighting French troops in this conflict vs what more does France have invested by becoming an open combatant?

(and since it’s such a divisive thing here on FR and everyone loves to accuse others of shilling for one side or the other, I’ll state my view: both the Russian and Ukrainian governments can go to hell. )

In general, when French troops have met their Russian counterparts in open battle, the French tricolor has prevailed. Napoleon’s invasion of Russia failed because the French lacked the supplies to continue fighting. Given that the EU’s economy is 10x Russia’s, and the French economy alone is 2x Russia’s, and its war aim is only to defend Ukraine rather than push into Russia, a French force would lack for nothing.

Just a friendly reminder, Russia has spent the last two years failing to eliminate the AFU, while claiming to have wiped it out at least three times over. Given that, why trust anything Moscow says?

Pat Buchanan warned us about admitting third-rate countries into NATO. He said it was dangerous.

Pat was right.

They’re like yappy, little, ankle biter dogs that agitate and create problems nobody is going to want to start WW3 over.

Russia should immediately 'guillotine' any French (or other NATO) force unit sent to Ukraine.
