Russia is a state sponsor of proxy wars, sabotage, and terrorism - unchanged since Lenin gained power.
To clarify, Russia's involvement in Ukraine, Transnistria, and elsewhere, is also "by proxy":
ON THE EFFECTIVE USE OF PROXY WARFARE - by Andrew Lewis Peek, May 2021, Dissertation for PhD
CHAPTER THREE: RUSSIA AND UKRAINE, 2013-2016 [pg 118 of 446 in the PDF file] "This chapter will examine Russia’s use of proxy forces in Ukraine from the beginning of demonstrations in Kiev’s Maidan Square on November 21, 2013 to the dissipation of the conflict in 2016. Though it covers all the high-intensity periods of the war, this chapter is focused on the fighting in Donbas and not Russia’s takeover of Crimea."
Moscow's proxy war in, and invasion of, Ukraine, was planned by Putin, long ago:
Putin began planning the invasion of Georgia, in 1999.
Putin began planning the invasion of Ukraine, in 2003. See:
At some point, of Moscow's push westward thru Ukraine, NATO may choose to enter the western-most oblasts of Ukraine, in order for NATO to be better prepared to defend the NATO countries, Poland, Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia, and Romania.
Macron’s approval rating is in the 20s, lower than Biden’s. Sending French troops to Ukraine will make him more unpopular. Support for the war in Ukraine is declining rapidly in Europe. The political elites are disconnected from the people.
“””””Macron has the luxury of having a foreign legion at his disposal.”””””
Really? The entire Legion is only about 9,000, and much of that is support, administrative, training personnel, not exactly an army.
How about a nice game of Chess?
Very good points. I didn’t realize Macron was lower than Biden. I believe Biden’s true numbers are around 15% approval.
Yes, the political elites all over the world are disconnected from the people and reality. And the “dirty masses” are waking up.
The FR warcons will be in heaven if this happens. Imagine, the French leading NATO tranny and DEI troops into battle with Macroon and their beloved CNC BiteMe in total control. What could go wrong?
Please tell these warmongers it is not 1987, Reagan isn’t the CNC and the military is a disaster before they get us all killed for a corrupt cesspool of a country.
Thanks for that. Milei of Argentina is the best of the bunch.
Or we take our sleeping bags near a primary target 🎯
at least this is what president trump is hinting at, eu should do more.
it is more safe to watch from here at the bombs blowing up over there.
Learning about the July Crisis would limit them from intervening in every minor border war “to prevent WW2 and genocide”
Can’t have that..
” At some point, of Moscow’s push westward thru Ukraine, NATO may choose to enter the western-most oblasts of Ukraine, in order for NATO to be better prepared to defend the NATO countries, ...”
The Zeepers have stopped pretending, and are now stating what they really want.
...1/6th of that number is on its way to Ukraine.
“”””Macron has the luxury of having a foreign legion at his disposal. He can send soldiers into a meat grinder and not be accountable at home for the loss of (too many) French lives.””””
The question is your take on it, you are the one that thinks using the French Army doesn’t entail much political risk, you also gave the impression that you think the Legion is much, much, much larger than it is.
