Macron needs to watch the movie Napoleon, which is awful except for the segment when he invades Russia

Yeah, it was a disappointing film.

Supposedly there's a five hour director's cut that will be coming to streaming soon. But will it be five hours of mostly boring like the theatrical release was?

I expected more of Ridley Scott. But, I dunno. He's 86 now. Maybe he's lost his touch?

Do you want World War III?

Because this is how you get World War III.

Seriously, have they surrendered yet?

My impression of the FFL isn’t that of some Laurel and Hardy movie, but of deadly competent warriors.

I think it’s a mistake for the filthy commie, Macron, to get involved, but the frogs can do whatever they want. And if Paris gets nuked, it will eliminate far more muzzies than Charles Martell ever dreamed.

“ 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.”

The Russians aren’t terrorists. However, if you mean a false flag event, you have a point. The Ukrainians and the CIA have been conducting terrorist events all along.

FRANCE IS IN NATO.

Omg, at least google something before you post it.

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.

If this doesn’t cause the Russians to tuck tail and surrender then nothing will.

Did they bleach their white surrender flags before they left?

Should be some good deals soon on French rifles. Only dropped once...

When will Russia stop its provocation of China?

Must China invade Siberia to protect the rights of its people and restore territorial integrity?

Russia will not stop its military provocations until all its neighbors are at war with it.

Yes, France is in NATO. They kicked NATO out of France for basing, but they are very much members. And it’s very uneducated to call the French soldiers cowards. Their government has its issues, but French soldiers are damn good. Probably the best in Europe by far. In World War I they had far more deaths than the British, in World War II they suffered about the same amount of casualties as we did in Vietnam in the six week battle for France. The British fled the battlefield. In Singapore the British surrendered to a Japanese force 1/3 its size .

The French are definitely not cowards. But in this case they are dumbasses, as they have been many other times. In this case is a classic example of the lunacy of the French government.

They are just ‘advisors’, like what they sent to Vietnam...think nothing of it.

“It is not business to resort to force, and yet not resort to enough force to win the fight.”

What is France thinking?
