Team America beat them to it....

Let’s see how the French people respond to soldiers coming back in body bags. Not very well, I imagine.
Macron's goal is to try to lure us into this war.
France is one of the founder countries of NATO and is still in it.
The irony is, that it was France’s idiotic alliance with Russia that got WWI going in the first place.
Always count on the French to eff things up!
*It is in NATO. It sort of left but came back...*
I’m old enough to remember DEGaulle kicking us out-young enough to remember France joining ‘41’s anti-Saddam coalition with ONE soldier who never left Paris.
*1,500 French Foreign Legion fighters sent to Ukraine.* That’s the scary part. They’ll fight to the last foreigner.-surrender monkeys.
*FRANCE IS IN NATO. Omg, at least google something before you post it.*
That’s what you’re for.
*This is a Continental European Power deploying Soldiers in the field against Russian Regulars. This is the sort of Idiocracy that leads to World Wars.*
It ain’t me that’s doing it. Think of when they blew up the Greenpeace ship in New Zealand-idiocy spelled right.
France is the pedojoe of European nations, but with none of the style or grace.
"Ask him about the cemeteries, Dean."
With their Force de Frappe, not all that vulnerable.
And having most of Central Europe as a buffer zone between themselves and the Soviets - er, Russians.
Regards,
Hopefully they get located quickly and wiped out.
> And it’s very uneducated to call the French soldiers cowards. <
I totally, 100% agree. They behaved heroically at the Battle of Verdun in WW1. And during WW2 the British were able to evacuate at Dunkirk largely because of stubborn defensive action by the French First Army at Lille.
Yes, France surrendered quickly in WW2. But that had nothing to do with French cowardice. The Germans were better organized and had better generals.
> In this case is a classic example of the lunacy of the French government. <
I’ve done some looking around the Internet. I could be wrong, but I think this Foreign Legion to Ukraine story is fake news.
It's not Russia in Mexico fomenting illegal coups, installing puppet governments that are hostile to us and training and funding a 600,000 man army hostile to this country.
But, WE DID THAT IN UKRAINE.
We are provocateurs. We stir up color revolutions, setoff civil wars and destabilize nations, all for the benefit of our elite and feed the defense industry.
And, all that is endangering our national security and endangering the dollar as the reserve currency in the world, which endangers our economic security.
I'm so sick of Zeeper freaks projecting the evils our elite onto Russia and other countries.
Speaking specifically about the French Foreign Legion:

There are some former members of the FFL, now fighting alongside Ukraine troops inside Ukraine - some of them, as members of Ukraine’s international legion.
There are some Russians who were former members of the FFL, now fighting alongside Russian troops inside Ukraine.
But there is no regiment of the FFL, stationed in, nor heading to Ukraine at this time [May 5, 2024].

FFL HQ then assured Ukrainians who are members of the FFL, that they may take 2 weeks leave, in order to affect improvements regarding the security of their families.
Otherwise, there are some French Troops operating in non-combat roles in Ukraine.
Footnote: Members of the FFL, are from around the world - including from France.
It is hard to see what he gets out of it. France fighting in Ukraine is nothing but a cost center. And at this exact moment France is losing its de facto colonies across equatorial Africa that provide untold income for France. Maybe he’s trying to restore his wounded pride then do anything about losing those colonies.
French Generals were trying to fight WWI in 1940.
And as far as The Maginot Line, well, Patton said it best, “Fixed Fortifications are monuments to The Stupidity of Man.”
You are OK.
So Russia can bomb the Eiffel Tower now?
No mention in French press, so I strongly suspect this is bull.
Your memory is really not on par today. In desert storm the French sent an armored division that participated in everything. And they had the best food by far, and they actually brought wine for their soldiers. Unlike our teetotaling leaders in the US military.
Never left Paris… Indeed.
The 2024 Olympics will feature a 100 man HamAss Paragliding display complete with automatic gunfire and coordinated pickup truck attacks and abductions.
