France has sent its first troops officially to Ukraine. They have been deployed in support of the Ukrainian 54th Independent Mechanized Brigade in Slavyansk. The French soldiers are drawn from France’s 3rd Infantry Regiment, which is one of the main elements of France’s Foreign Legion (Légion étrangère).

In 2022 France had a number of Ukrainians and Russians in the Foreign Legion. They were allowed to leave the Legion and, in the case of the Ukrainians, return to Ukraine to join Ukrainian forces. It isn’t clear if the Russians returned home.

The Legion today is run by French officers but the rank and file are all foreigners. Under the curren anonymat (being anonymous) a volunteer who joins the Legion can decide whether to keep his given name or adopt a new one. Legionnaires serve for three year terms, after which they can ask for French citizenship. If a legionnaire is wounded, he is entitled to gain French citizenship without any waiting period. There are no women in the Foreign Legion.

Wow. Ballsy. I understand that the French intend to man the border with Belarus, freeing the Ukrainian Army to go fight the Russians. Good job France!

Ukraine is preparing for peace talks with Russia as there is “no way to win on the battlefield alone”, Kyiv’s deputy spy chief has said.

Maj Gen Vadym Skibitsky, the deputy head of Ukraine’s HUR military intelligence agency, said both sides were currently vying for “the most favourable position” ahead of possible negotiations in 2025.

France is not gonna stop with just sending some of the foreign legion. And not only France.

Estonia, Lithuania and Poland, all sharing a border with the great whore, are on record saying they have offered to send troops to Ukraine if they're requested -- because if Moscow takes Ukraine they will be next.

Macron in France is also on record saying he is seriously considering offering his own troops. Virtually every day another nation joins the chorus.

In fact, it is only Great Britain and the US, the 2 NATO nations furtherest from Russia, who continue to rule out sending troops. The other nations have balls, because that's what it take.s to win a war -- and they have the most to lose.

On the other hand, we are sending F-16s to Ukraine, and that will help. But we might have to send some F-35s as well -- equipped with nuclear bombs. Moscow will not be able to detect them until its too late. But I doubt that Biden has the balls.

Sooo...no Peace Negotiations until AFTER Biden's term is over. In the meantime, how many more thousands of young--and not-so-young--Ukrainians and Russians will be sacrificed to this meat grinder? And the French and others getting more involved ain't going to help matters at all, while nudging us evermore closely to WWIII, imo...MUD

World Wars, hmmm where to begin.

Listen to Benjamin Freedman’s speech in Washington, D.C. in 1961 to see why America entered WW1.

The “Treaty” led to WW2 and beyond.

It seems the quest for hegemony by America all over the world, 800 armed bases, has led us to confront Russia once again.

Pushing NATO and its nukes up to the border of Russia was bound to elicit a response and sadly the invasion of Ukraine is the result.

War and weapons is the driver of America’s GDP and CUI BONO ?

We all know, why not expose them.
