The thermometers in H-ll must be hitting new lows.
But if the French are really serious about Iran...great!

“Prepare for war so you don’t have to fight one” is a paraphrase of the sage wisdom of the ages.

The new French Government has been talking tough on Iran from Day One.
Not sure what they see has their interests there, but they probably do stand to gain if they can help broker peace in Iraq and play European bad cop on Iran. Nearly everyone in the region agrees that civil war and a stronger Iran are bad things. World insiders say that the US is too hamstrung by war politics to take a strong enough leadership role.
The French are deeply patriotic and can be very tough militarily if properly riled. They benefit by filling even a small part of the vacuum, which certainly exists at the moment.

That leaves us Russia to deal with. I bet Putin continues his staunch stand over Iran—too much money to lose and surreptitious power. Once Putin started takin’ pictures with his shirt off I knew then I would probably see ww3 in my lifetime. However I hope it is all just bluster and we will be in Iran soon without all the hoopla from the 4th Reich—Russia. Blow-hards want so badly to be behind the iron curtain once again they’ll do anything. Sad.

The French are deeply patriotic and can be very tough militarily if properly riled. A minority of the population. But hopefully growing under Sarkozy.

Don’t get to the conclusion too quickly.
The French are the French... Before you see one French soldier to show up for a war (Frnace does not like wars, it never wins them), we will be on autumn 2025.
