French President Emmanuel Macron met with parliamentary parties on Thursday. During the meeting Macron said he was open to the possibility of sending troops to Ukraine, as announced by, according to French newspaper L’Independant.
Fabien Roussel, a representative of the French Communist Party, said after the meeting that “Macron referenced a scenario that could lead to intervention [of French troops]: the advancement of the front towards Odesa or Kyiv.”
He noted that the French President showed parliamentarians maps of the possible directions of strikes by Russian troops in Ukraine.
Following the meeting, Jordan Bardella of the far-right National Rally party noted that “there are no restrictions and no red lines” in Macron’s approach.
Yeah the only Russian Aircraft Carrier was completely immobile, the person in charge of overseeing repairs was charged with embezzling 45 Million Rubles, and that’s only just the start of it. They were missing fuel, rations, winter clothes, you name it.
I keep reading stuff like this and Makes you really wonder how Russia was such a threat on paper and still fighting in Ukraine. Like what else is shotty or actively being embezzled right now.
They might have cleaned house, they even killed Yevgeny Prigozhin.
Maybe, but it’s still a government run by thieves and murderers so it’s not terribly unlikely that theft is still occurring.
I’d say it’s a government run by the Mafia, but it’s more accurate to say the government is the Mafia.
Kleptocracy is a term I’ve heard tossed around before.
Sure, but it’s deeper than that. Stealing from a country is one thing, forcibly sending young men to die in the mud for a genocidal war of conquest is something else.
True.
Oh, ok. He didn’t have what he was told on paper. It’s not so much that Navy personnel went AWOL, it’s more that the actual capabilities of the Navy were greatly exaggerated on paper?
