If a political party does not have its foundation in the determination to advance a cause that is right and that is moral, then it is not a political party; it is merely a conspiracy to seize power.

-Dwight Eisenhower-


"The [U.S.] Constitution is a limitation on the government, not on private individuals ... it does not prescribe the conduct of private individuals, only the conduct of the government ... it is not a charter for government power, but a charter of the citizen's protection against the government."

France sends combat troops to Ukraine battlefront

Asia Times  by Stephen Bryen 5/4/2024

Will the deployment of a Foreign Legion unit commanded by French officers trigger a wider European war?

France has sent its first troops officially to Ukraine. They have been deployed in support of the Ukrainian 54th Independent Mechanized Brigade in Slavyansk. The French soldiers are drawn from France’s 3rd Infantry Regiment, which is one of the main elements of France’s Foreign Legion (Légion étrangère).

In 2022 France had a number of Ukrainians and Russians in the Foreign Legion. They were allowed to leave the Legion and, in the case of the Ukrainians, return to Ukraine to join Ukrainian forces. It isn’t clear if the Russians returned home.

The Legion today is run by French officers but the rank and file are all foreigners. Under the curren anonymat (being anonymous) a volunteer who joins the Legion can decide whether to keep his given name or adopt a new one. Legionnaires serve for three year terms, after which they can ask for French citizenship. If a legionnaire is wounded, he is entitled to gain French citizenship without any waiting period. There are no women in the Foreign Legion.

The initial group of French troops numbers around 100. This is just the first tranche of around 1,500 French Foreign Legion soldiers scheduled to arrive in Ukraine.

These troops are being posted directly in a hot combat area and are intended to help the Ukrainians resist Russian advances in Donbas. The first 100 are artillery and surveillance specialists.

For months French President Emanuel Macron has been threatening to send French troops to Ukraine. He has found little or no support from NATO countries outside of support from Poland and the Baltic States. Allegedly the US opposes sending NATO soldiers to Ukraine (other than as advisors).

One of the questions to immediately arise from France’s decision to send soldiers from its 3rd Infantry Regiment is whether this crosses the Russian red line on NATO involvement in Ukraine? Will the Russians see this as initiating a wider war beyond Ukraine’s borders?

The orcs' own-goal bombing may have been a glide bomb, a smart bomb that went dumb. The orcs, understandably, are using stand-off weapons to reduce risk to orcish planes. Ukraine is doing similarly, of course.
If, as anti-Covid-vaxxers claim, https://www.poynter.org/fact-checking/2021/robert-f-kennedy-jr-said-the-covid-19-vaccine-is-the-deadliest-vaccine-ever-made-thats-not-true/ , https://gospelnewsnetwork.org/2021/11/23/covid-shots-are-the-deadliest-vaccines-in-medical-history/ , The Vaccine is deadly, where in the US have Pfizer and Moderna hidden the millions of bodies of those who died of "vaccine injury"? Is reality a Big Pharma Shill?

Millions now living should have died. Anti-Covid-Vaxxer ghouls hardest hit.

A T-64BV model 2017 is a Ukrainian upgrade the adds thermal imaging and night sights, reactive armor, satnav, and secure communication. A T-64BV model 2022 is a further upgrade that upgraded the target recognition and sighting systems and upgraded radio communications to NATO standards. IOW, this T-64BV is not Khrushchev's or Brezhnev's T-64.

Actually, the courageous self-sacrificing oil storage tanks intercepted the drones.

This site is just across the strait from Crimea. That oil/fuel probably was intended for orcish planes, tanks, trucks, etc..

The Kamchatka Peninsula is a bit of a way from Ukraine, :silly: . This may have been anti-Putin folks, or it might have begun when some rando said, "Oh, bleep!" in Russian.

Yes, the word "Kamchatka" jumped out at me too.  A port area on the Pacific.

Kamchatka is over 4,500 miles from Kyiv, for perspective.

Kamchatka?  I am having 50 year old flashbacks to playing Risk.
I display the Confederate Battle Flag in honor of my great great great grandfathers who spilled blood at Wilson's Creek and Shiloh.  5 others served in the WBTS with honor too.
