Soldiers wearing green berets, dressed in combat fatigues, and carrying Famas assault rifles have been pictured in front of the Eiffel Tower and inside Montparnasse railway station.

Free Speech can be messy... it’s just better than all the alternatives...
The idiots in this administration have their heads
so far up their own arses they can’t see a thing.
Consider this an attack, with 12 murdered at the
offices of MAD magaxine over a cartoon.
We have let this go on far too long.
I recently saw a video of the muslimes in Marseilles tearing stuff up. Makes me sick to see that a city I visited in ‘85 is now subject to these vermin. I’ve tried to contact a couple I know that live there but haven’t had a response in over a year. I hope they are safe.
About 15% of the French Army is muslim.
Apparently, the Muslim burning of only 950 cars over the holidays was just a feint.
Ya, what I wasnt thinking too. This looks like window dressing to keep the sheep from bolting.
Too right!
NY is now busy fighting the real enemy - the NYPD.
...guns not allowed!
“Media people were killed.”
The Enemy Media didn’t get all wee-wee’d up after JOURNALIST Daniel Pearl was beheaded. But, he was a Conservative who worked for the WSJ. Never mind!
I’m not sure WHAT it’s going to take. The Enemy Media is complicit in so much of what’s going on in the world today that it makes my head spin!
They need to use the pepper mill and some rancid croissants.
Not very PC of France, I must say!/s
Therefore,the Media now cares about Islamonazis. CNNs talking head is shocked and outraged.”
Good point.
ISIS and its rapid advancement was ignored by the MSM until one of their own was beheaded then Obama had to “do something”.
So he has done just enough to get at least the appearance that the Islamists are back to mostly killing each other.
Hope those guns still fired after all the years of being dropped when surrendering....
That’s so F-ing ignorant. The French had about 1.3 million soldiers killed in WWI, compared to the british 875k.
In WWII, the French lost about 85,ooo killed compared to the British losing about 10,000. The Germans lost about 150,000 dead and wounded and 28% of the Luftwaffe.
In WWI the tea drinking surrender monkeys love to talk about the miracle at Dunkirk. That’s where they ran away from their side of the salient and left the French on their own.
Does anyone remember Singapore? A huge Brit garrison there surrendered.
The French fought long and hard and the Collapse was the result of a new warfighting strategy the Nazis used. The world was unprepared.
The only French who can be fairly slandered were some political leaders.
But its F-ing ignorant to slander the French military. And its snotty to do any of it today. Go read a book.
Modern versions will be operated over wi-fi via an app.
Less splatter on the executioner.
“Will Notre Dame and Sacre Coeur be protected as well?
The Eiffel Tower is merely a steel structure that can easily be rebuilt if destroyed. Not much of a loss.”
That sounds so ignorant. Why would Notre Dame be any more important than the tower? Its just a stone building. And its a very safe bet that the list was not exhaustive and inclusive.
Why would you even think that way that if the Eiffel tower blows up, that its no big deal. And today? Who’s side are you on?
Meanwhile, France keeps importing Muslim immigrants, educating them, housing them, feeding them, and making sure they have the same quality of healthcare as all the other French have.
I am on the right side and I think that the two stone structures are greater historic masterpieces than that piece of 19th century engineering.

Exactly. If any Western Nation hopes to survive, it must first annihilate it’s Leftwing.
