This could go bad fast—WW III could come quick. Unexpected and bitter. Enjoy peace like the US did in 1940. Advise to all young men and women: Learn to speak Russian.

And who started the conflict?

Historians have pondered how the leaders in 1914 (on all sides) could be so arrogant, and so reckless. But at least we learned something from that horrible meat-grinder, right?

These politicians and power brokers did learn that they can get those who would oppose them in their own country while sending them to get rid of their peers' opposition in their country.

When replacing them with foreigners isn't fast enough, send them to war.

Zelensky sure likes sending white Christian men to their deaths and now childless Macron is joining him.

“This is to take a few casualties and pull in the Brits and US of A. It will not work.”

One has to wonder what those French soldiers have to be thinking, as they must know that they won’t have any impact on the war, so their only reason for being there is to get killed so Macron can yell out something like:

“Article 5, Article 5!!!!! The Ruzzians are attacking NATO!!!! Article 5, Article 5!!!!!’

Maybe Macron doesn’t know, but the election in the US isn’t until November, and body bags coming home prior doesn’t help the Biden’s people. As to UK, they have nothing to supply, so they’re an NPC in this war. It’s the US or nothing substantial.

Everything is going according to plan in Western Europe and U.S.A. so, I guess it’s time for the “One Worlder” folks to plan their invasion of Russia..

Macron lied for decades about his male “wife”. Expecting anything other than Satanism from him is unrealistic.

You’re probably just some communist, turd world parasite that wants white people to die horribly in trench warfare.

France has always had the Foreign Legion I don’t know what it looks like today.

I used to read “Soldier of Fortune” when I was a teenager.

The Legion deployed to places like Djibouti in northeastern Africa back then.

During the Gulf War in 1990 France put in 5000 or more troops including Marines and Foreign Legion.

How this disaster started is debatable.

Unfortunately the time for that debate is long since over

I does not matter how the war started and we are at that sad place where who is to blame no longer matters

Nor is it even relevant.

Now is the time to admit that the Ukraine adventure is over and Ukraine has unnecessarily lost a war that should have been ended weeks after it started.

No more Putin Price Hikes, no more wag the dogs proxy wars and no more delusions about Ukraine tanks parading through Red Square.

Time to salvage what we can for Ukraine while there is still an independent Ukraine to salvage

That means providing enough support to keep Ukraine in the fight and give them the leverage to negotiate an end to this disaster on the best terms still possible

All support to Ukraine should 100% contingent upon immediate fast track negotiations to end the conflict

They heard Ukraine has good cheese, and pretty women.

Will the French actually fight?

If History is to be a guide, probably not.

Good! Let France and Britain handle it. It is not the problem of the US. Those two nations have experience there, 1850s. “Half a League onward!”

You’re right, they won’t fight. They’ll draw NATO in and let our American sons bleed, die and clean up their mess. AGAIN!

WW III will be fought in the skies over American cities as the 6000 Russian nukes find their targets.

You could not be more right. Unfortunately, you, me and very few others know that history. That’s why we’re about to repeat it.

Didn’t France precede the USA in Vietnam?

Not a good omen...
