Macron says that France will send 7k French troops to fight in Ukraine if the war lasts until 2026.

Ukraine is short on manpower and I'm sure that they will make a decent if short showing for themselves.

Sure he will.

To help with the surrender...

When the French say they are going to back you up its over.

I thought the Frogs were supposed to start the war, then pussy out and hand it over to the US. Maybe they think if they send some frogs over to be cannon fodder and cry loudly enough, this might trigger a "save a frog, lose hegemony" response from the US?

*Putin fears another coup as Russia finally begins to buckle*

https://www.telegraph.co.uk/gift/c2568849ede24738

Suddenly, Putin has many reasons to be worried.

Russia’s economy is beginning to buckle. Businesses have been crippled by high interest rates, government borrowing costs have soared and economy minister Maxim Reshetnikov warned in June that the country was “on the brink of a recession”. Warnings are mounting over a potential avalanche of bad debt that could trigger a financial crisis.

Now Donald Trump is turning the screws. After frustration over a lack of progress to end the war in Ukraine, the US president announced new sanctions on two of Russia’s biggest oil companies on Wednesday.

India and China, the main buyers of Russian oil since the war began, responded by curbing purchases. It threatens to cut off crucial oil revenues to Putin’s war machine – and the Russian state.

“For the first time in three and a half years, Russia’s really getting hurt,” says Timothy Ash, an associate fellow at Chatham House’s Russia and Eurasia programme. “I think there’s some panic.”

The war is hitting home for ordinary citizens. Thick plumes of smoke have been rising from Russian oil refineries across the country this year following an unprecedented barrage of Ukrainian drone attacks.

Since January, Ukraine has hit 21 of Russia’s 38 largest refineries where crude oil is refined into products like petrol. It has struck as far as 683 miles into Russia from the Ukrainian border.

So much supply has been knocked out that petrol prices have surged by 40pc since the start of the year. Officials have introduced rationing in occupied Crimea while small petrol stations in Siberia have closed down. Social media is filled with video footage of enormous queues of cars waiting to fill up.

It has also massively ramped up borrowing. Between January and August, Russia’s issuance of bonds surged by 104pc year-on-year, according to the KSE Institute. Total issuance this year could hit a record high.

This borrowing binge is eye-wateringly expensive. Yields on 10-year Russian government bonds hit a four-month high of 15.2pc earlier in October.

Trump has therefore chosen a particularly painful moment to begin turning the screws on Putin.

Russia’s economic weakness may encourage Trump to go further. “A major argument for him pushing Ukraine to compromise was that Russia would inevitably win this war. As he put it tactlessly in the White House, ‘You have no cards,’” says a former US diplomat, referring to Trump’s explosive White House press conference in February. “He does like winners.”

Now, it may be Putin who has no cards.

Intense pressure will be essential if Trump truly wants to stop the war, says [Mikhail] Khodorkovsky. “All the concessions that could have been offered to Putin have already been offered. It’s time for Trump to play the ‘bad cop’.”

He appears to be doing just that, pushing Russia’s economy to the brink. Trump told reporters in the Oval Office: “All of a sudden this economy is going to collapse.”

Russia has been fighting aimlessly for three and a half years a War that should have taken a Real Military Power less than a week to win. This is not distinguishing Russia. In fact, it is very much making them look like "a paper tiger." -- Donald J. Trump

So much for star power.

Looks like Russia continue to nibble the cheese.

As Russian Federation forces conquer territory faster than at any other point since the start of the war, the MSM had to upgrade their game, abandon most (but not all) of the narrative copes and, in an effort to get things right and fast, started doing what we have been doing here for 2 years: reading the Russian military bloggers and reporting upon it.

Now, Ukraine is about to lose one of the most important Donetsk cities it still holds, a road and rail hub vital for logistics and supply

Exactly one year later we're still at "Paper Tiger is about to conquer Pokrovsk".

ROTFLMAO. What are "Papertigerian milbloggers" reporting now?

I would donate to any Ukrainian who drone strikes Alexander Dugin, the Occultist Evil Scumbag of Hell.
