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


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.

Thank you for posting this. I have contended that this is a European problem from the beginning and, that they have the resources to handle it.
