And Why Such An Urgency?

Where was it before? 

A group of high-ranking French veterans has called for increased oversight of the country’s military involvement in Ukraine. In a letter sent to the heads of both houses of Parliament, the former officers urged lawmakers to hold a formal debate on weapons supplies and the continued presence of French troops bolstering Kiev’s war efforts. The letter, titled the ‘Citizen Resolution’, was published earlier this week on Place d’Armes, a platform for current and former service members to express views on national policy. It included a public call for citizens to sign the resolution in support. The authors argued that France’s military involvement in Ukraine without a parliamentary mandate, and arms deliveries without public debate, violate the French Constitution and Criminal Code. They claimed that no clear communication has been made to Parliament about the possible presence of French troops in Ukraine since 2022, despite the legal obligation to inform lawmakers of any “military intervention.” The letter has urged the parliament to publish “all information” about troop presence in the Journal Officiel, the country’s official gazette, and to “organize a debate with a vote on the continuation of this intervention” within 15 days of receiving the letter.

France is not a subject of international relations, despite Macron's pathetic attempts to pretend that Paris still matters--France lost the remnants of her sovereignty with departure of Jacques Chirac whether you like him or not. Russians do not care anymore what France does and how many French will be killed further. French Army is pathetic and if Macron, indeed, decides to "deploy" official French contingent--it will be annihilated. 

Some funny comment to my previous (not today's) video by some obviously French guy stated to the effect that Russia cannot threaten the country (France that is) with 240 nuclear warheads, which can "destroy half of Russia". Well, it is difficult to explain the technological abyss between SAMP-T, the best France has, and which will not be able to intercept anything ranging from Iskander to Kinzhal, let alone Avangard, and Russia's integrated strategic anti-missile defense such as serially produced S-500, S-550, A-235 Nudol and A-135, not to mention SPRN which is beyond France's capabilities, and that out of those 240 warheads which France allegedly could launch (in reality fewer) very few will actually get through. Russian response, however, will get through and France will cease to exist. Mind you, French Armed Forces are the best that Europe has. But then again, French elected Macron--you cannot say that he is illegitimate, so let French generals and French society enjoy their choices--they fully deserve it.
