Leave it to the French to support the Nazi Ukraine! Never worry though, a surrender is imminent!
The French troops did NAZI that coming.

And they got Vietnam started.
And they high tailed it out and left the US holding the bag! They started it by trying to colonize Vietnam. Ho Chi Minh was an ALLY of the US against Japan and he asked the US for help against the French to stop them from colonizing his country. Of course the US could not turn against DeGaulle since he was such a backstabber to the US after the war and yeah, the military arms complex NEEDED a war.
Looks like the French have a having of dragging America into forever wars. The French are still trying to colonize in 1960. How bold and brave of them.
France tried to regain its long time colony Indochina (Tonkin, Annam, Cochinchina, Laos and Cambodia) as did Britain and the Netherlands. The US voluntarily entered the war fearing the spread of communism.
At the push of the Military Arms Complex. The spread of communism is a cover. If the US had backed a free Vietnam under Ho, he would have never went to the communist for help.
And Ho Chi Minh was educated in the west and wanted to model their constitution on the US constitution, but the Deep State, China and Russia had other idea's.
The US forced Ho to seek help from communist Russia and China.
De Gaulle was a backstabber to just about all countries he fought with, Churchill and Montgomery got very weary about his hauteur and the way he tried to block the war effort in favor on the French. Le Grand Charlie.
Monte, De Gaulle and Patton had an ego problem but Patton had no problem leading from the front.
Don't remember where, but I heard on some podcast that the reason Macron is doing this, is that France was kicked out of an African country (Niger?), and he was afraid the Foreign Legion would return to France and topple him.
Wouldn't that be a hoot! Keke

Now go away or I shall taunt you a second time
They will fart in Russia's general direction.
War has changed, while most militaries are still fighting previous wars... as always. Constant surveillance (drones, aircraft, satellites) is a game changer.
Basically it comes down to:
it is guaranteed you will be observed on the battlefield no matter what "camouflage" you try to use, and
you will have various types of bombs dropped on your head shortly after being observed. Tanks, APC's, conventional troops, etc. are all sitting ducks as soon as they enter a battlefield.
If you read the article, it mentions that the troops being sent specialize in surveillance and artillery...
Battles fought from computer rooms around the world! Ground troops = fodder!
