Russia: Expands borders four times since 1998.
France: Openly talks about stopping that trend.
Russia: Feels threatened.
It's Russian logic westerners are mostly not familiar with. When they expand borders they would never admit doing it. It's always a defense of their motherland because after invasion they declare their prey their rightful property. It's a parallel logic but it works when the only narrative is the one of the state.
Russia will expand all the way until they take over anything non-NATO all while bitching about "being threatened"
man doesn't know the geography in 2024 rn HAHAHAHA
I mean look at their borders in 1914 vs now. Its not surprising that Russia wants that territory back.
@@JarthenGreenmeadow Russia never had that terratory. You're thinking of the USSR, which is a nation that no longer exists and is, very notably, NOT the Russian Federation.
Well...invading Ukraine is a hugely provocative act...
Why invade Ukraine when the French troops can be put under Ukrainian control. Is this any different than Wagner. Just call them mercenaries.
@@stevenschwartz-vf2lg If only France had a legion of troops for this foreign situation..... /s
Putin is inviting & allowing foreign armies to fight for his war in Ukraine so its fitting that Ukraine should invite other countries militaries who are willing to help them defend their country... Putin is really a narcissist hypocrits!

The real reason France is stepping up is that the Russian Wagner forces organized coups in every former French colony in Africa from 2020 up till now. Russia already is at war with France indirectly. France cannot rely on cheap material resources, like uranium for their nuclear energy supply, from those former colonies any more, so the French economy is at stake. The Wagner forces also want cheap resources, but pay more than the French.
and now france has to directlly get involved to restore order in those areas by any means necessary.
Yeah and what is wrong with nations getting independence from their colonial occupations?
Finaly sombody has a little correct info…… rest of all polaks ., don’t know much?! Usa wants Russian give up all Recources ???!!! Wont happend
@@AdrianFahrenheitTepes Nothing. But that was not the title of this video nor the content.
Both correct. France is upset their slave empire is under threat. The title and whole video was completely wrong.
The point is Nato should have never said out loud that we would never send boots in Ukraine. Macron simply said it should not be off the table. Never say never out loud.
Looks at it as we the west has a civilized ability to reward the good and deprive 😈 EVIL 😈.
Without that disclaimer, the Russians could have used more deadly force. China has a no-first use of nuclear weapons policy. They are the only one. Maybe they should withdraw that pledge. According to your thinking.
@@johnchiu7581 I don't get the logic in what you're saying. By saying out loud we will not get involved no mater what...you are telling russia it can do whatever it wants in Ukraine. Yet at the same time telling ukraine we will support you and supply weapons for as long as it takes. You don't tell your enemy what you are willing to do. The west said it out loud for political reasons. Not tactical reasons. Total stupidity and Macron is totally right on this subject.
@@dangal9366 No, Macron is not right. The U.S. provoked the conflict with the 2014 coup and NATO expansion to Russia's doorstep, so it shouldn't be so impolite to Russia. It's a special case.
So why should China say out loud that it would never use nukes first. You don't want to understand because only the U.S. 's security interests, no one else's, matters to you. If we live in a world where we can accommodate each other, so much the better. Marcon is only getting aggressive because Russia is messing around in France's sphere of influence in Africa.
It made Putin veryVERY happy knowing (" no nato in Ukraine ") .
When you place the leader of France at the end of a long table so as to mock him, it's not likely to go well.
Putin displaying his ability negotiate corporate socializing with world 🌎 leaders in a personal setting.
I have mad respect for France, the world should not fall prey to nuclear black mail. I wish more of NATO including us in the USA would take a stronger stance like France.
Unfortunately Biden will shix his pants when hear "nuclear".
I'm sure you do. Russia is on Europes doorstep. French gets it, time for the rest of Europe to step up too.
Well Russia will include a lot of mercenaries from african countries to take revenge from France.
Slava BAGUETTEs 🥖
People that talk like you don't know what you're saying. You don't understand what a nuclear war is
One thing that keeps getting overlooked in all these videos is that the West guaranteed security to Ukraine in exchange for not keeping the Soviet era nukes they had possession of when the USSR broke apart. Boots on ground could be viewed as sticking to that agreement.
After the 2014 coup d'tat the country's constitution was suspended and so was any international agreement made with the government before.

plus Ukraine has a very high k\d ratio
Yeah but sending young men to die in Ukraine and risk starting a world war would be the least popular decision any leader could make. Particularly in the United States. Ukraine needs to go to the negotiation table
The USSR was also part of the Budapest Memorandum.
Let's remember folks, France has their own nuclear capability, independent of the US and the UK. For Macron is not intimidated.
In my opinion, unfortunately, the only way Ukraine has a victory is a Ukrainian ally sending in military boots on the ground.
Article 5 could be invoked.
Should NATO get directly involved I am not sure this borderline insane man, Putin, may decide it is time to use a tactical nuclear device. At that point the devil may be unleashed, even if only tactical.
Russia has a lot of Foreign Boots on the Ground. Too!
France is a joke. They have no boots to put on the ground. They are not enlarging the French army. Just talk. Same with the U.K. They can supply some things like missiles. Enough to antagonize.
🇷🇺 is #1 in nuclear arsenal size. France? Not sure. However, I don’t think nuclear capability is at all a deterrent when dealing in Russia vs France.
We don’t know how many of Russias nukes still work
As a Dutchman i have a lot of respect of Ukrains fighting spirit and skills, Polands modern army, and the French president for his steel balls.
I am from Poland and I say GLORY TO UKRAINE and also RIP to all Ukrainians who were murdered or raped by rUSSIANS. Dear world, please never stop helping Ukrainians. Till today I have tears in my eyes when I remember the time when I was gifting chocolate eggs with toys inside and saying Slava Ukraine to small Ukrainian children here in Poland. I will never forget their moms who had 24/h tears in eyes because of the war. But you know thats the difference between Poles and russians. Poles are compassionate, while russians desire blood and death. I am begging the whole world not to let the good fade away in the hearts of Ukrainians. If the evil will win, whole Europe will be a different place because evil will spread into people's hearts.
Russian leaders just want more power and territory. The russian people also have companssion but they are doomed to live with dictator after dictator because of how big Russia is.... China and the US aren't much different. Only good thing about the US is that they don't want to inherently conquer land

I am getting pretty concerned. If this whole thing blows up, it propably means that all of Europe will in time become a battleground (if it doesnt just devolve into nuclear amagedon).
Not likely, its all politics.
Russia wants Ukraine because it needs another revenue stream. Fossil fuels are on the way out, controlling the worlds bread basket is their only real choice for survival. They could have done a lot more threatening to the west, but they havnt. They couldve drawn a red line in the sand, but they havnt. They dont want to flip the global market on its head.

Macron was the one who announced in the media that putin will not escalate conflict days before the war. It turned into a war and macron was seen as a fool. Oh its personal for him.
Why does this feel like I have heard this before
The French leader thinks the Russian leader is his friend but in reality the Russian leader is his enemy
No. The point is that every single european leader acted in a way that is outrageously stupid from a foreign policy perspective. The idea to tell russia we would never engage gave them free hand without calcualting the risk of NATO involvement. They did that because of domestic reasons. They wanted to calm their population to not get falling polls. Macron just realzied it and he can not be reelcted anyway so he is playing without personal selfinterest and doing what is smart from the geostrategical point of view.

@@Haxinatoralus Exactly
Point of clarification.
Macron looked stupid long before Putin put a clown face on him by lying to him.
Since then Putins now wholly owned subsidiary has divested France of itsxquasi mini empire in Africa thus dressing him as a clown.
Since Macron is French and thus has large dose ofcarrogsnce self importance and incompetence the above actions by Putin have offended his pride.
Poland owns Russia a debt they are very willing to repay
Вы хотя бы один век прожить можете, не выпрашивая удара по физиономии?
Do they have gold to pay?, russia doesnt accept western toilet paper cash
A very important thing to not forget is that artical 5 specifically says "... it will be considered an attack on all of them. They can use whatever force they deem necessary in response" If the United States decides that sending some first aid kits is enough, that's all they're legally required to do
"whatever force they deem necessary" refers to nuclear weapons, not first aid kits
The French Foreign Legion has some plausible deniability IMO. Everybody forgets about the French Foreign Legion and their independent actions for the last 80 years. They are extremely capable and hard core force. Might be worth an episode? ❤
Interesting
Not yet!
They lost all there battles.... But they are a very good and tough unit. But under control of the French army.
Independent actions of the French Foreign Legion? It's funny how little people outside of France actually know about the Legion, its size, and what it does. The Legion is just 9,000 men (military and civilian personnel included, yes). It represents 7% of the French Army active personnel and just 4% of the French military (so, when you include the navy and air and space force). And yes, it is a corps of the French Army. It is an integral part of it, just like the Troupes de Marines, Alpine Hunters, Hussar, Dragoon and "traditional" regiments are. It is not independent. Legionnaires are officially French soldiers both in French law and in international law. They're not some kind of mercenary force or paramilitary group like Wagner. Even if you handpick just the foreigners in the Legion and send them without their officers (who are all French), you're still sending the French Army lol.
Also, to actually fight in Ukraine, France would need several combined ams battle groups (alongside US and British ones and others if they want to join) and Legionnaires would be a tiny minority of the French force like has always been the case in conflicts the French Army fights in. It doesn't get deployed to any war alone. There is not a single relevant conflict in French history Legionnaires took part in and in which the Troupes de Marine for example haven't also fought in, and in greater numbers at that (right now they represent around 15% of the French Army, so twice as much as the Legion). The Legion is a regular corps of the French Army, not a special unit or anything like that. They're certainly one of France's elite regular units and are therefore highly trained and have a strong esprit de corps; but what makes the Legion unique is that, per tradition, it is the one and only corps in the entire French military dedicated to foreigners willing to serve France.
The Legion is therefore a corps of mostly foreign volunteers led by French officers. And I say "mostly" because there are Frenchmen among the regular legionnaires as well beyond the officers. French citizens can apply, even if there is no point as you can join any of the other conventional regiments, including elite ones, if you're deemed fit/competent to do so... or even better than all of that and the Legion, try to join the special forces (well... if you can handle what it takes to enter one of the SF units that is). Some French citizens apply to join the Legion because they've had trouble with the justice, which makes them unable to join the other units (you can't join the military with a criminal record for example). The Frenchmen in the Legion are given foreign identities when they apply (generally a fake French Swiss, French Canadian or French-speaking Belgian ID card lmao).
There was an interesting story I read many, many moons ago about the free French led legion fighting the axis led legion in North africa in ww2
Europe seems to have failed to learn the lessons of WW2 if they don’t stop an aggressive nation early then it might take a lot more effort later.
It has taken time but all European countries realize now that Putin is a threat just like Hitler. Meanwhile the US are still dragging their feet just like before Pearl Harbour.

Increasing U.S. hegemony is the new fascism.

France is ready for the second round and this time winter won't save russia.
Edit: for some people saying the opposite I have one thing to tell you. Russia struggled against both Georgia and Chechnya until the jets arrived, russias only advantage was it's air dominance because Georgia and Chechnya didn't have a good air defense capabilities. Whole battalion couldn't even beat 13 Georgian soldiers in Shindisi village. That's not the case with NATO armed forces because they have the best air defense capabilities and NATO armed forces are way better trained than russian soldiers who only trained for a month

That does by no means say though that french is preparing to put boots to the ground.
Napoleon didn’t conquer Poland but liberated Poland, as the duchy of Warsaw. At the time he invaded the region, Poland didn’t exist anymore, being split by its three larger neighbors : Prussia - soon to be Germany, Russia and Austria.

Considering that Russia has been going at a much smaller country with a much smaller military for over 2 years in what Fartin predicted to be a 2 day special military campaign, I say call his bluff. The nuclear window dressing is probably as effective as the vaunted Russian military is.
The funny thing is that in my humble opinion, Russia can lose everything much easier. I wouldn't like to simplify it too much, but all of Russia's key strength is in the European part, along with its capital. If the Russians wanted to win such a "war", they have to capture many capitals of many countries. The only reason why Russia has not been pacified yet is its nuclear arsenal, but looking at what the Russian army looks like in battle, I am afraid that it may be another colossus with wooden legs. Another fact is that the morale of Russian aggressors attacking virtually all of Europe will be poor...
Don't forget that the United States had been delivering weaponry to Ukraine before the war began. it was western say it lasts for 3 days. Don't forget about Putin's construction of the invasion bridge connecting mainland of Russia to Crimea for long-term war.
Well as we saw in wwii foreign lend lease only did so much and having Allies be fully involved and fully mobilized is the only way to end conflicts.
Everyone knows it's impossible for a WW2 style war to take place, where you have Nazis dreaming of taking over all of Europe. As "crazy" as Putin is, he has no such ambition, it'd be delusional to think otherwise. In the modern days of nuclear weapons, there is no such thing as "taking over the world". Even if America wanted to take over the entire world, it cannot happen simply due to nukes. So drawing parallel doesn't make any sense.

NATO Ops near Kaliningrad ought to upset Russia, Especially considering that many of the Units that used to Defend the Enclave are now Sunflowers in Ukraine!
and with sweden and finland in nato the baltic is now a nato lake the troops in the enclave are now a lieablity to russia. it would be best for russia to evacuate the enclave bring all of that back shorten the lines and have that stuff in the hopper for use.

You must be kidding!
Normally foreign affairs do not decide U.S. elections, but there has never been a candidate before that wants to pull out of NATO and abandon our allies before. We are treading on new ground here and who knows what will happen? As to Ukraine negotiating part of Ukraine away to end the war. Mr. Trump, if Canada invades the United States, which part of the United States do you want to give to Canada to end the war? If you are not willing to fight for you whole country, you are not worthy to govern it. The people in those territories that you want to give away elected Zelinski to be their president, not you or Putin.
Stop lying. Mrs. Trump will be putting up curtains in the white house next year, and the USA will still be the preeminent force in NATO.
No U.S. president alone can pull the U.S.out of NATO. They would need the U.S. Congress to go along with such a move. As things stand right now that would not happen. Drowsy Donald is always dreaming and farting/sharting himself while he naps in court.
The U.S. provoked the Ukraine War. As if you didn't know. NATO was needed before as a deterrent. Now NATO is a fucking provocation!
Most of territory given away actually wants to join Russia. Their is a sizeable chunk of east Ukraine that is full of Russians and desires to be Russian. Ironically same is semi true for usa, many in North East usa have suggested running away to Canada or having parts of usa join Canada usually the joining is more jokingly but if they did join Canada most of them accept it.
Secondly Canada is far weaker, but their would be Americans who argue to give them land at least jokingly. But the question of it happening is 0 as Canada can do nothing to usa as their too weak. If america was hypothetically weaker than usa. Than contrary to what you might think america would likely give them land as we don't really hate them, and north east usa is fairly close to much of Canada culturally than it is to southern usa or the middle states.
This territory was not given away. Russia has tried to take it by force. Otherwise there would not be a war. If an American wants to be a Canadian, move to Canada, people do it all of the time. If a Ukrainian wants to be a Russian, move to Russia. Nobody is stopping them. That sizable chunk of Ukraine that you are saying that is full of Russians wasn't full of Russians before Russia invaded. It is full of Ukrainians. Wants to be a part of Russia? I guess that is why when Ukraine took a vote for independence in the early 90s every single oblast overwhelmingly voted for independence including the one in Crimea. East Oregon keeps voting to be part of Idaho, but it is Oregon. It really does not matter how you vote, you can vote with your feet. Does every single person in eastern Ukraine want to be Russian? Don't they have the right not to be Russian? I do not know what the people of the North East find funny. I don't live there. Does somebody who does not even live on this continent know something that I don't? Saying that Canada would not invade the U.S. because it is much weaker is probably true. Much like Ukraine probably will not invade Russia, because it is much weaker. Yet Putin says that Ukraine is a threat to Russia. Smaller countries tend not to invade larger counties, at least countries that are 3x larger. I do not speak Russian and I do not post in Russian. You do not speak English well enough to post in English.
I think nobody wins if this goes Nuclear
It wont. NATO outspends Russia on nukes 12-15 times. Confirm this number
Nukes need maintenance. The US has spent a fortune on this. Russia has not. Most Russian nukes probably don't work. They'd lose an exchange.
Russian win been worst
@@thinkerly1 So Russia destroys NATO once, and NATO destroys Russia 12 times. Nice.
@@thinkerly1so Russia is smart enough to spend only what need to get the job done at least once while NATO overspend. No wonder why Western civilization economy is sh!t.
Right on France

Despite it being a computer voice the less than brave aspects of Europe shines through in this video. It is to be desired that troops practice what they expect to encounter in war. And what Poland does in its sovereign territory is not provocative. But you be you. Thank you for finally, finally, finally trying to live up to your NATO obligations. Poland is not a whimpering, sniveling, curled up in a fetal position country like some in Europe.
American must know the responsibility of the usa,every president elected must respect the commitment of the usa and always provide peace instibility in the region and the world.
If an invasion without consulting international organizations, with its self-serving claims and open disregard for international law were to succeed, what would the world look like afterwards? His brilliant insight led him to see sharply the collapse of the civilized world.
It’s very much past time for NATO to conduct joint military training exercises 👍🏻
For what? Noone is preparing for war.
It's coming

France should start making some zink boxes then
I just remember Lavrovs reaction on the question when they asked him about French troops in Ukraine XD
This'll be fun to sit back and watch then prepare to deal with the fallout
Definitely not one of your better videos for several reasons.
The Suwalki Gap has lost a lot of importance now that the Baltic Sea is now Lake NATO.
Russia has moved a lot of forces out of Kaliningrad (and other places) to keep up the fight in Ukraine.
If you believe that Russia has managed to modernize most of their nuke arsenal then I've got a bridge in Arizona to sell you.
I'm curious how Vicktor Orban went from an unreliable liar to a reliable source when Trump is involved.
NATO could absolutely out-supply Russia IF it wanted to. The Russian economy pales in comparison to NATO.
Macaron is taking a page out of the Trump playbook: employing strategic unpredictability. Both of these leaders at least understand that appearing to be unpredictable and irrational is highly beneficial against a bully like Putin.
Right ! And Putin cannot makes more, not enough money, weapons, soldiers
In the long run, Ukraine can't beat Russia and Russia will take as much of Europe as it wants until someone stops it. So NATO troops will be dying in Ukraine by this time next year. For sure.
I think it's just the opposite. If it's harder to get there by sea, then land becomes the remaining alternative.
With Finland coming into NATO the Suwalki gap is no longer the dividing line that it was because, now nato can get to the the baltic states from the north. So NATO going into Ukraine is a definatly a far greater possibilty now than it was before swedens accession to NATO.
yep they just have to neutralize the enclave in a matter that will render russia useless as of now its a lieablity to russia and if they want anything they will have to abandon the enclave recall of those assets back to russia and use them somewhere else.
Macron didn't like long Putins table...
Lol
It made me think... would Slovenia change their flag when at war with russia? They seem very easily to mistake for one another...

Considering how much European countries had let their militaries shrink prior to the 2022 Ukraine invasion Russia had nothing to fear
Except for their own arrogance, incompetence and corruption.
Trump said European NATO was weak. Everyone cried.
@@user-kq4hf8se5b Trump also said he was pulling us out of NATO. Showing that no country should make any kind of agreement with the US as we'll just back out of it. He also pushes for Ukraine to give up their territory to "stop the war." Showing that he believes appeasing a dictator will somehow make him stop. Despite history showing that appeasement doesn't work.
@@rickywilliams1586 i can tell you watch CNN.
HAD, is the magic word here. The west will not make this mistake with Russia ever again. They pretty much thought that they could actually get on good terms with Russia by letting them have a seat at the table and even gave them veto rights in several institutions, including security council of UN which Russia also blatantly exploited to prevent resolutions against themselves lol.
I'd say if Russia thinks they can keep playing this game without repercussions or actually challenging us to put boots on the ground, they should try and see if this game wins them stupid prizes at some point. NATO and western nations only appeased Russia because we thought that Russia would be more open to be actual partners opposed to what the USSR was, but the mask is dropped now. And I got the feeling that at some point NATO might consider actually using ground forces and conventional warfare despite nuclear being a possibility. But seriously, Putin will eventually loose in this cat and mouse game if he overplays his hand. We all called his bluff several times by now, so the nuclear threat is completely empty because we all know that Putin is a gambler, and would never even consider nuclear war as a viable alternative. The only exception would be an active invasion into russia itself.
for those of us who served in the military prior to 1990 20k troops is nothing we had more than that every year that was xalled reforgger
Is now or never should take action against Russia!
Aside from the obvious defense of Ukraine, France is *pissed* about Russia's meddling amongst former French colonies in Niger and other countries in that region.
Regarding the drilling going on, recall the leadup into Operation Desert Storm. Months of coalition drills and flybys near Iraq until their activity was deemed white noise, then one day we run Iraq over in a matter of weeks.
Nobody is after iraq What silly theory are you trying to make here?
@@DenyseLRoss What? Do you not understand that the buildup and the drills send a message to everyone else around them? I cited Desert Storm because it is the historical precedence.
@@naughtiusmaximus7103 You are kind and benevolent with your response ;)
If Ukraine issues an invitation to France or any other country, they can of course enter Ukraine within the territory of what is officially Ukraine. What's the question?
To quote a wise man concerning Poland, "This speed bump has teeth."🇲🇨
Unfortunately, once you create a war economy, you become dependent on war being there for your economy to thrive.
"Poland Strong" and getting "Stronger". Watch Out Putin!!!
LOL.
Poland is the one everyone is watching in America 😂 we know Poland wants to fight Russia so bad and if they do Poland gonna lay down some hurt
The operations in Poland haven't finished or really started yet. We are sending out or main force this week. All they have done at the moment is the practice for the bigger one coming in a few weeks.
If Russia had nukes, we'd all have hazmat suits.
I expect the narrator and all In agreement to be the first to mobilize for the front lines.

Keep in mind that back when the West thought Russian expansion wouldn't happen,
Ukraine wasn't permitted to join NATO as that could be seen as confrontational.
Ukraine gave up nukes believing that the West would come to Ukraine's aid.
They are probably already there in small numbers and have been there for some time, with a good chance that they are French Foreign Legion units
What are you talking about. Russia is the aggressive and won’t stop if we back off. We need to show Russia that we won’t let them to take Ukrainian.
The West started this conflict. Russia is rightfully fighting Back, defending Its people.
There is no way the Western countries will intervene militarily in this war at the risk of it escalating into a world war

Whilst their own country is getting invaded
it´s France in name only at this point.
Yeah, lots of inner ennemies who tends to invade France by reinventing a France that have never existed, consisting of narrow-minded xenophobic ideas and an utter intolerance are spreading into the country, you are right. However do not be so pessimistic ; we are still here ; "Français plus par le sang versé que par le sang reçu", as they say in the foreign legion. :)
It is amazing that you totally accept Putin's narrative that the invasion of Ukraine was essentially defensive in nature. Putin for decades has repeatedly stated that the fall of the Soviet nion was the most horrible event of the 20th century and his desire to resurrect this evil empire when Russia rearmed to make this feasible. The forces in NATO were laughable at the time of the Ukraine invasion, posing no threat to anyone. The motive was always imperialism, not defense.
Putin has never announced the revival of the USSR, stop making it up. If the USSR is an evil empire, then the USA is the of universal evil, after all, it was they who took out more than 60 wars since 1945.
Russia had 6000 nukes. Ukraine had 0. Invasion for self defense is a disgusting lie
Sorry, unfair comment, it was the US that decide to expand Nato, that expanded Nato, attacked all the countries allied of Ruaaia: Syria, Libia, Serbia and that payed the regime change (democratically elected , Yanukowski Ukraine president) spending 5 billions US dollars. What should Russia do, Could you imagine if Mexico changed of government allying with Russia, would the US accept it?The point s about the US wanting to dominate the world, then destroying first Russia and then China. These are facts, Russia did nothIng against Europe and the US , until
The evil empire is the USA and its European puppets.
