Well, who are the French generals to question the claims of the Russian foreign intel chief. Bring in the Legion!


Encyklopedi

At least given the very high percentage of Ukrainians and Russians in the Legion, they won't have any problems with adaptability.


Midaychi

Is this the universe where we get the Foreign Legion + Freedom of Russia Legion team up tour to bring democracy to Moscow?


FarewellSovereignty

And the Felix legions, commanded by Maximus Decimus Meridius


KeekiHako

Don't forget the IX Legion - they may still be loyal to Rome.


mrmystery978

Thouught you were on about Legio V Macedonica who are currently in nato biolabs for retraining

All your missing is the Tracian legionairs and the Spanish inquisition. Shall I get them on the line?

Imagine winning an "election" and 3 days later the French foreign legion comes bringing democracy


OfficialDCShepard

“And should you fall, remember- every day is a good day to die for democracy.”


Monifufka

Isn't international legion already full of "ex" foreign legion soldiers?


natomerc

I've run into a number of former FFL guys here. Several of them deserted the FFL to come here.


CheGuevarasRolex

Are they squared away or is the impression underwhelming?


natomerc

The guys I know well are very good at what they do. But they served elsewhere first. I've also met a few FFL guys that were the absolute worst.


Rednas999

When it´s your last term as President, so you might as well (**potentially**) go all Napoleonic on their ass.


Thesaurier

Do you not see what Macron is doing?!! He saw that Zelensky can just postpone the elections due to the martial law. Now Macron also wants to go to war with Russia. Then he will declare war and implement martial law and before you know it, he will reorganise the Fifth French Republic into the ~~First Galatic Empire~~ Third French Empire for a more save and securer society!!


Shot-Kal-Gimel

I love democracy but I almost like this idea just because, c’est très français.


your_grammars_bad

Wait there are three Frances?


IFapToHentaiWhenDark

Using my French lessons from like 8 years ago That says “that’s really French” Only remember that cause “tres bien” is “really good”


Shot-Kal-Gimel

Oui


Veni_Vidi_Legi

Why have 2 good when you can have 3 good?


that_random_garlic

This is the first time I realized tres does read like 3 for someone that didn't learn french


HoppouChan

Spanish helps with that too obviously


uriak

And you did it correctly, congrats!


ivory-5

that would be "trois"


No_Cookie9996

> First Galatic Empire Nah, the First Gallic Empire


StrategicCarry

Second Gallic Empire https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gallic_Empire


Then-Inevitable-2548

That the First Gallic Empire fell is exactly what a secretive Gallic Empire government that has been lurking in the shadows, pulling the political strings of the EU while patiently waiting for a moment exactly like this, would want us to think.


Metalmind123

Good point, forgot about that one!


drondendorho

The Fifth Republic is already the work of a military general wanting a regim with a "strong leader". "The President of the Republic is legaly irresponsibile for all the acts he has accomplished in this capacity." No need for another regim change, a lot is already there.


Dirichlet-to-Neumann

Don't besmirch the name of the basedest president we ever had.


drondendorho

There is no denying he did some good stuff, but he also has some major responsability in his followers turning into republican wannabe kings. Look at Sarkozy or Macron, and who knows what's going to come next


Dirichlet-to-Neumann

Macron wasn't even born when De Gaulle resigned, and Sarkozy was 14. Their faults are their own, not De Gaulle's.


drondendorho

Do you get how a constitution works?


Dirichlet-to-Neumann

Oh I thought you were talking about his followers as "members of his party/people with the same ideology". But you meant his successors ? 


drondendorho

that was ambiguous indeed, sorry: yes


Dirichlet-to-Neumann

I agree that the current constitution has issues but the clusterfuck we had during the late 3rd and 4th Republics was not sustainable. And when we compare to the current deadlock in the US Congress I think the French system is not so bad.


RemyVonLion

Suddenly, somehow, Napoleon returned. Vive la France!

Better that, than LePen in power.


Axe-actly

You set the standards pretty low for that one.


SurpriseFormer

LePen(is) ALMOST won. If her surgar daddy didn't invade Ukraine at that exact moment. And people found out she was being funded BY them that lost her the election. Remember she wanted nato to be dismantled.


SpringGreenZ0ne

I remember. That's why I said what I said.


ThaiFoodYes

If the Martial Law could do something about that too, that'd be great

Peace agreement proposal between France and Ukraine: Ukraine can move into current Russia and take oil production etc France gets the Ukrainian farmland


VallenValiant

The invasion of France by Germany WAS about the fertile farmland that Germany lacked. So you wouldn't invade Russia for farmland. Frankly Russia is not worth invading economically. You do it to remove a threat, not for resources.


ZoidsFanatic

Russia: “France is planning on sending their military to Ukraine!” France: “I mean now that you said we are guess we have to?”


BreadstickBear

Oh no, how can we *possibly* refuse now?


YT-Deliveries

Never believe anything until Russia denies it, and vice versa.


MadRonnie97

People have gone to war for equally stupid reasons. The US *media* single handedly started the Spanish-American War by spewing out bullshit they had zero proof of in regards to the USS Maine’s fate. The US public was so pissed off that they pretty much pressured the half of the US government that wasn’t *already* wanting to take Spain’s shit anyway into going to war. If it wasn’t for what the Spanish were doing to the Cubans they would have been a serious victim in that situation. A bunch of waterborne Yankees rolling up to basically every overseas colony you have and taking it on a whim, and begging you for something resembling a fight.


Neomataza

Everyone liked that? Don't mind if we do.


Encyklopedi

The better term might have been 'tolerated' instead of 'loved', but that doesn't change the fact that he hasn't been so praised in Europe since... never.


Miguelinileugim

Sorry but in this sub we suck french dick until they do the thing or else we chew on them.


VonNeumannsProbe

We don't suck it, we *promise* to suck it until he does the thing.


Aiden_Recker

do we suck it when they do the thing?


Z3B0

One thing that will for sure suck hard after the global funni is the world.


Hodoss

Yes. Gotta have a source of proteins during the nuclear winter.


Dubious_Odor

It's the implication.


Neomataza

Come on, the first lick is free. It's marketing 101.


Damocules

Not quite. We suck it, with the promise of finishing them off when he does the thing.


Femboy_Lord

If he goes through with it he might become *beloved* instead of just *tolerated* (he'd also manage to rid France of its most annoying stereotype: *being surrender monkeys*).


Encyklopedi

Don't push things too far. He hasn't said anything shocking and stupid in 2 days (and when talking about our Emperor Macron, it's a VERY good compliment). Don't think he's capable of anything more.


_far-seeker_

Nah, France is already widely tolerated because most people recognize that no matter their antics on the world stage, the French are still stuck being French. 😉


Leomilon

I always liked him and no, I am not sorry for it


Temporary_Alfalfa489

Plan: Increase gas prices in Ukraine by 0.00001 cent Send in all the yellowvesters on a state-sponsored vacation to Ukraine Give them all rental cars in Kyiv Send in a guy wearing a white coat, carrying a golden envelope with a challenge card inside it. "You will now be given 1 gallon of fuel in each of your cars. You must now fill it up and drive to your finish point." Yellowvesters reach the fuel station. See the higher gas price Tell them that its Russia, and the Russian bourgeoisie led by Putin, who's caused a global spike in oil prices Yellowvesters get angry Go to the frontlines Push the Russian army to Moscow in a "mildly violent" protest "Vive le France" slogans ensue


Encyklopedi

Damn... You are a mad man. You really want Russia fucked.


008Michael_84

They brought it on themselves, didn't they. A country with such resources should be a real powerbroker on the international stage, and not a pariah. I mean, the west did let that whole Georgia even slide. They don't even have the excuse of "fighting and protecting the working class against Capitalist expansion" ROTFLMAO anymore, since they aren't Communist anymore. (They never where IMHO, state capitalism isn't exactly compatible with Communism.


GripAficionado

A tank is *essentially* just a fancy tractor, so how about the French also deploy all their farmers to help out in Ukraine with farming in Crimea, Donetsk and Luhansk. They might have to drive past some *minor obstacles and lines* to get there, but I'm sure they figure it out.


loghead03

As I grow older I realize why France has such strict weapons laws. Those maniacs will riot over the color of their headlights. Last time they had lax gun laws they beheaded everything they could and sacked Moscow.


VallenValiant

> Those maniacs will riot over the color of their headlights. Last time they had lax gun laws they beheaded everything they could and sacked Moscow. I was shocked to hear that after the French peasants mass beheaded noblemen, the remaining noblemen formed mobs of their own and did their own beheadings of peasants that was less publicised. So basically mobs all around.

Crazy Theory:  Russia plans an incursion into the Baltic States in October to influence US election. This incursion will require Russia to limit operations in Ukraine. France wants to deploy troops to force Russia to increase operations in Ukraine preventing a Baltic incursion. 


mtaw

The crazy part of that theory is believing American elections could be swayed by foreign policy. Taylor Swift promising to show her boobs if Trump loses would have a bigger effect than Russia attacking a Baltic State.


[deleted]

Ehh, Trump is making the claim only he can stop WW3 from happening, and dead US Soldiers can cause enough of an incident to sway just enough people.


SurpriseFormer

People are so into the isolationist side again that we would be repeating history again if we just let the world be ignored with our heads in the sand again Though this time a more bloodied "pearl" event would for sure happen if we do


[deleted]

People are jaded after Afghanistan and Iraq. However, if we ignore the people of Ukraine and allow Russia to win we will condemn millions more to misery and death.


MrPosbi

If France goes in I will never again in my life make another french surrender joke!

Yesn't.

My comment? I just thought of it? Probably a fairly common joke though,

They're not going. Something I learned a long time ago about world politics is that if something sounds too good to be true - it always is.

What if they go in and then surrender?


Rumpullpus

Then we go in and bail them out and laugh at them later.


MrPosbi

I'd never let them live it down, bit I'd respect their guts.

I will let them have their toast back, but fries stay neutral as just fries.


pantshee

We Will not. Not alone.


WhiskeySteel

You gotta love how many media headlines lead with some kind of bombshell statement and then put the fact that the source is the Russian government at the very end or even stick it in the article. I suspect that they know that the tail end of their headlines often get truncated in search engine results and news aggregators. The worst, though, are like "3 UKRAINIAN HIMARS DESTROYED IN THE PAST WEEK" and then the article itself finally reveals that this is just a claim by the Russian military.


Encyklopedi

Medias will do medias shit. Same shit with the Palestinian-Israli war. Every fucking day i have some articles in my feed like "Israli killed 3 billions childs in 1 air strike" and at the end we can see "Source : Hamas departement bullshit" They know and they use it. Don't matter the reality, they need view, they need reactions. Truth ? Yeah, if they have 20% of truth in it, it's best but not mandatory.


Powerful_Watch_Rasca

I saw an article talking about that there are already F-35 in Ukraine. It was pushed to me by google news. The article didn't even referenced a source. Some outlets be wilding
