Long way to say France surrenders.
Remember Charles Martel.
Islamics Launched their Crusades in 630 A.D.
Western Crusades started in 1095 A.D. to Stop Muslim Invasion.

This might actually be beneficial. The Russians will supply the soldiers and the French the cooks. On a more serious note, both Russia and France might be doing this to cooperate on dealing with the Muslim scum.
No, a short way to say that the Obama administration has repeatedly demonstrated weakness toward Russia and a complete lack of resolve to stay engaged with the European powers. Far from surrendering, France is asserting itself by taking up the active role that America is not. They are trying to become a partner instead of an unwilling client, because the President of their supposed partner across the Atlantic has been studiously showing Putin his ass.
This is not good. France sees the USA as too weak to help France so she’s getting cozy with Russia and Germany. Watch to see which way England and Italy go. This is a powerful, nuke armed alliance (or Axis).
The last time they tried this it got France dragged into World War I.
Europe, Russia, the UK, and Italy, and Germany are literally in the crossfire. Each world war, their countries were the battlefields. They’ve also been experienced in dealing with domestic terrorists and if France is getting worried about the Eiffel Tower, then there’s something about to happen. After Beslan, Russia is no longer going to waiut around for the US to take the lead. And the US is too politically correct.
The French government is listening to its people (a novel thing for politicians) and feeling pressure for their citizenry to start dealing with this and deal with it now. In Russia, Beslan was the final straw. If Versailles went up in flames, or the Louvre was destroyed by a terrorist bomb, it would leave a gaping hole in French history and heritage; which would result in uncontrolled genocide in the streets. The last thing that any government wants is that sort of streetfighiting since such actions are not easily contained and it could spread through the country. If Rome was destroyed through a vicious attack, then Catholics and Protestants would both rise up. France and Russia, through dealing with this now, is going to prevent the loss of something precious to their history and culture. And prevent their citizenry from taking matters into their own hands, throwing them out, and then dealing with the Muslims in their own way.
Obama, through his idiocy and his attempts to always be in charge, has now put the US isolated in diplomatic matters. he always wants to be in charge, do none of the work, and get all the glory with heads of state kowtowing to him, in public of course. Sarko and Putin are not interested in catering to Obama’s schoolboy/celebrity ego.
