Why France is Being Forced into Conflict With Russia

Since Russia invaded Ukraine, thousands have died, and millions have been displaced, causing Europe's worst refugee crisis since WWII. In response, France has dramatically altered its policy, now endorsing NATO troop deployments in Ukraine to counter Russian aggression. Watch now to see what's actually forcing this change!

"A pro-war Russian military blogger killed himself after criticizing Russian generals for their war strategy." In Russia, the bloggers are so patriotic that after they criticize their government they bind their hands & feet and throw themselves out of a 5th story window, all while shooting themselves twice in both the head and the heart.

Facts. Not that I'm an expert or anything like that but I fought along side The Polish army in Karbala Iraq. It's a less known battle but was intense, deadly, and tragic. (Im not debating why the war started I was 2 weeks into being 20yrs old when I got to Iraq) We fought against Sadrs militia who were Shiites that definitely had Kuds forces w/them directly under the control of Soleimani. Anyway I'll never forget when we got there after leaving Baghdad, rolling up with all our tanks scout Humvees etc. The Poles were already there amongst other coalition countries and weren't under attack. Before turning in I see a few Poles sunbathing in speedos and I said to my platoon Sgt they won't be in those in a little bit. Within an hr or so we start get rocketed and they tried using mortars etc. We were close with the Poles and they are great fighters, amazing friends, and wonderful people. 🇺🇸🙏🇵🇱 I hope one day infographics makes a video for world peace one day.

GERMANY ROMANIA POLAND BRITIAN AND UNITED STATES SHOULD DO NO FLY ZONE OUER UKRANE ASP

[@AAWT]

@@JohnRebel-k4j That is silly. A no fly zone is not something you can do like in a child's game, expecting no response from those breaching it once it has to be enforced. It would start WW3 if Western planes started downing Russian ones. The same effect could be had without triggering WW3 by simply delivering Ukraine sufficient AA capabilities. But instead, the West has watched and slow-walked the aid at every step. Ukraine could have won by now if the West had given sufficient aid to equip all soldiers Ukraine can recruit (instead, the slow aid has affected recruiting negatively). A no fly zone is nonsense - this isn't about preventing attacks on a small part of a Middle Eastern country without any noteworthy capabilities.

The Eastern bloc wasn't great or stable and the USSR was unable to run or hold anything they took But they did take half of Europe It's basically the same thing ish There's no concerns that Russia can permanently take and hold Germany. That isn't a thing. If they get that far they're getting kicked out too. But it's hard to tell how far they might push if they literally abandon all other priorities of any kind except moving the front line forward for one moment longer.

So you said sanction are not working, but they clearly are. Comparing Su35 to the F35 is quite ridiculous as everyone knows. Telling France didn’t give a lot to Ukraine compared to Germany or other countries is also very speculative at best : France is known for to not tell everything it’s giving to Ukraine just because of opsec instead of bragging on the political stage. It is also delivering what it promised not like every other allies, plus the organisms the counts the value of everything sent are usually Germans, so sometimes biased and also counting material bought with EU money as donation from a particular country. Now France is also not perfect and should have had that stance since the beginning and giving more now, like the Easter European countries. Also saying the shift is mainly because of Russian backed coups in Africa is a bit big. France does not take as much benefits as it had in its colonial past, and yes loosing some partnership with these countries is bad, it’s still not a lot compared to having Russia winning in Ukraine with all it’s consequences.
