France on Saturday said it will deploy 7,000 soldiers after declaring a top-level alert following the fatal stabbing of a teacher by a Chechen-origin man, who also severely wounded three others at a school.

I wonder what kind of twisted logic people use to justify this… if it’s supposed to be effective wouldn’t just one man with a gun be enough, why do you need 7000? (Because it doesn’t work)
Because there are thousands of towns across france and the country is thousands of kilometres across, so this means there can be at least a couple of troops nearby if something kicks off (and there have been violent protests as well as peaceful ones).
Your “one man” is pretty useless if he’s in Paris and it kicks off in Marseille a thousand km away.
Given a terrorist killed someone a couple of days ago pretty much on the anniversary of the teacher getting beheaded last year it’s not unreasonable for there to be heightened readiness
I mean it’s all around France, but yeah, it’s just to say they are doing something, it’s not like there is much chance that something happens right now
I sincerely hope you’re right, but when footage of Israel performing their atrocities in reply comes out, then history suggests it will kick off in western countries.
It’s incompetent politician bullshit. It absolutely doesn’t matter if it’s usefull or not. It’s the old fascist move of parading soldiers so you look like you’re doing something when you are in fact doing absolutely nothing useful.
