The President of France, Emmanuel Macron, announced on Wednesday, January 19, that France would send troops to Romania as part of NATO operations to ensure the security of the eastern alliance states, G4media.ro reported.
The statement comes amid a security crisis on NATO's eastern flank.
"We have sent troops to ensure the security of our European partners in NATO missions, to our friends in the Baltic area, and we will continue to do so. We have shown our readiness to move forward, within NATO, to engage in new missions and to take responsibility for "enhanced advanced presence" missions, especially in Romania. Solidarity with our European friends in NATO," said the French president.
The announcement of the French president, made in a speech in front of the military in Haguenau (Alsace), comes at a time of maximum tension in Eastern Europe, where Russia massaged more than 100,000 soldiers on the border with Ukraine. The Kremlin has formally called on NATO member states to withdraw troops from eastern member states, including Romania.
I get it now. They lead and we follow.
“where Russia massaged more than 100,000 soldiers on the border with Ukraine.”
Russia massaged 100,000 troops?
Were there 100,000 happy endings?
Must be some tired hands on the Ukrainian border.
Macron using this excuse to take the peoples minds off his disastrous policies I imagine.
Massaged is French for massed.
This is the kind of buffoonery that starts WWIII. What if Putin is looking for a way to rally his domestic support? You get lots of armchair generals who have never opened a history book treating these incredibly dangerous situations like a board game.
France? Never heard of ‘em.
Where does the retreat route go?
About time for some moron to shoot the Archduke.
Yes yes, the surrender jokes just flow. As things stand the French have more combat experience than any Army except ours. It is well trained and well equipped and is no longer led by Maurice Gamelin.
How’d that work out in Southeast Asia?
Oh.... figured it was French for “surrendered”...
We had French Commandos on our base during a deployment. They were bad asses.
Have 2 TVs on for news...things are getting spooky. Innocent lives are at stake.
The 2022 overture!
So next time I go to chill in Romania now I may to run into some Arrogant French Francophones lol.
