Potential deployment of French troops to Ukraine may be of benefit to Russia — Medvedev
Tass ^ | 3/20/24 | Dmitry Medvedev

Posted on 03/20/2024 6:47:21 PM PDT by hardspunned

MOSCOW, March 20. /TASS/. Eliminating French military personnel that may appear in Ukraine would be a critical but not particularly difficult mission for the Russian Armed Forces, but for Paris such a humiliating defeat of its legions would be tantamount to being guillotined, Russian Security Council Deputy Chairman Dmitry Medvedev said.

"Actually, for the success of our cause, it would be nice if the restless French dispatched a couple of regiments to ‘Banderaland.’ It would be very problematic to hide such a number of servicemen, so systematically eliminating them would not be the most difficult task, but surely the most important one. But, just think of the beneficial knock-on effect!" he wrote on his Telegram channel.

I just tried doing a search on umcrevmom@aol.com and it worked.

1. Type in the user name you’re looking for in the search box on the upper right side of the forum page.

2. There’s a little search box right underneath the big one. Make sure you pick USERS.

AND you have to do an extra step!

3. Look down the page a bit (underneath the fundraising red bar) and above where you saw the words “Nothing matched your criteria” and you’ll see the words “Find User” enclosed in brackets. Click on that and your search results should come up.

Let me know what happens.

Ever since that business about his elderly wife being born male went viral, Macron!s been bending over backward to prove he’s a man’s man, even a bad-ass. Very odd. Most of the French soldiers will be shipped home in body bags.

Russia should immediately 'guillotine' any French (or other NATO) force unit sent to Ukraine.

“I could easily see a force of France’s best troops making a lot of mincemeat against the Russian conscripts.”
***********************************************

Nothing like hubris to be a catalysts for defeat. France’s best troops today have, if any at all, experience fighting only untrained African Muslims. The current Russian forces are made up of units that, in addition to being well trained, have become battle hardened and honed their tactics through bitter experience. All their units are made up largely of veterans who have long since had their baptisms of fire. New recruits are integrated into units alongside the veterans and benefit from their experience.

Never underestimate an enemy… particularly a battle hardened and determined one,

“In general, when French troops have met their Russian counterparts in open battle, the French tricolor has prevailed. Napoleon’s invasion of Russia failed because the French lacked the supplies to continue fighting. Given that the EU’s economy is 10x Russia’s, and the French economy alone is 2x Russia’s, and its war aim is only to defend Ukraine rather than push into Russia, a French force would lack for nothing.”
Thank you for posting this. I have contended that this is a European problem from the beginning and, that they have the resources to handle it.

They’ll send the Foreign Legion, not any actual Frenchmen.

Yes, French got a bad rap because they surrendered during WWII but it was the French who the German geerals who said they respected and said fought like lions when they were closing in on Dunkirk not the British. Despite their ealry exit from WWII,driven by the English refusal to lend them modern aircraft, The French suffered more casulties than the British did for the entire war and that is with the British figting in both the Pacific and Europe

French Foreign Legion accepts recruits from countries including France. Several members are French.

Service is a commitment.

Pat Buchanan and Ron Paul, God, if we’d only listened to them. When they were running for president to save the country, I was a strutting neocon as bad as any Zeeper around here.

Maybe I’m just stupid, that’s been proven before, but I’m hoping those individual security agreements somehow keep our troops out as the Euro NATO countries deploy into Ukraine.
Since 2022 there’s been a French led battalion in Romania. On 3/1/24 it was announced the French would bring it up to brigade strength. The last two days on The Military Summary Channel there’s been video of French tanks being trucked into Romania, heading for the border. I can’t recall which Greek port, but lots of incoming weapons and I suppose troops being offloaded there recently.

The west thought it could hamstring Russia with individual security agreements. However, Russia forced NATO to preemptively declare the alliance would not go to war or trigger Art 5 if any members put their troops in Ukraine.

France is outsmarting themselves.

1. They provide offensive military arms to Ukraine.
2. They provide technical support for advanced weapons or systems.
3. They have targeted both Ukrainian claimed land as well as Russia.
4. By thinking they can secretly prosecute a war against Russia using passable deniability they can at the same time insert troops drawing a red line the Russia cannot cross without risking war.... Russia told them as long as the stealth war using French missiles and citizens that putting more troops is both an act of war, that Russia will make them the highest priority targets, and all NATO countries risk being targeted if an exchange between Russia and France happens; only NATO countries specifically opting out of aid and hostilities may prevent them from any war triggered by France.

So if France thinks Russia occupation of French troop locations is a red line, they are mistaken.

Germany send their former leader Schultz to say Germany will not accept Russia imposing a military solution or acquisition of Ukrainian land, but he is not Germanys leader.

Warmongering by EU and or NATO is accomplished by sending out former government officials whose grandiose proclamation are essentially personal opinions for the low information citizens.

The combination of Russian Drone dominance/250,000 new soldiers in July is a turning point. Waves of drones will replace 80% of the current Russian ground assaults, which is one hell of a force multipler.

This war may see massive relocation of Ukrainian soldiers resulting in a breather of 90 days. The amount of men and materiel losses since Russian offensive operations that began 14 January cannot be replaced for Ukraine.

There is a difference from going through Hell (Churchill: keep going) and being stuck in a mad man’s ruZZia Terror State Hell.

Inform the rest of the third grade.
