Yet they won’t use the troops to kick out the hordes of Africans and Muslims that are ripping their country apart. Just totally insane.

My mistake. 100 sent now. 1,500 total expected to be sent.

Oh Good.

France declares war on Russia.

WWIII.

Can we sit this one out?

So does this mean that stupid Macron is dragging NATO into it? Will Russia see it as that since big mouth Macron is shooting off his pie hole about it?

Control of Francophone Africa, and the riches it provides to French politicians,

Its what US politicians and their cronies hoped Ukraine would become for them.

We will not sit this one out. Or should I put it this way the Biden Obama Soros administration will not sit this one out. These people are hell-bent on World War III never ever any talk of negotiations. France is probably the most vulnerable nation in Europe. And they are picking a fight which might turn out to be Russia, China, and the north African culture inside of France against them.

That's the million dollar question, isn't it?

France isn’t in NATO is it. Something having to do with being surrender monkeys.

Russia could attack one of their enclaves. I’d say sink a ship in New Caledonia. Send a message to the world, not just the French.

France is very much in NATO, being one of the 12 founding membor countries that helped create it in 1949.

I have to agree with you, but I think we are already in up to our eyeballs. We are certainly bankrolling it.

Macron is absolutely stupid enough to try this stunt. But I really doubt the veracity of this story. For one thing, some of the hot links in the story are dead, for me anyway. And I can find the story being reported at no other major news source.

Macron needs to watch the movie Napoleon, which is awful except for the segment when he invades Russia, the Russians burn Moscow, Napoleon has no food and the weather is horrible, retreats but leaves 560,000 out of 600,000 troops dead.

What does Macron know that we don’t?

Common defense is one thing, starting a war when your country is not being attacked then expecting others to join to bail you out is quite another.

Time to tell France (and Europe), you are on your own on this one.

Really insane that France...who is about to host the Summer Olympics... pulls a stunt like this not even 3 months ahead of the Games.

Somehow, I think the traditional ‘Olympic truce’ will not be observed. I also would not be surprised to see “something” happen in Paris.itself, aka 1972 in Munich.
