Whoa.
Rescue by sea? France, Turkey and Greece?
France is gonna play a game of chicken with Putin. Sink a french warship on a humanitarian mission and see what happens.
I have seen a few snippets of Macron now over past couple of weeks. The man is PISSED about what is happening in Ukraine. Almost like he is taking it personally. His rhetoric as of late is basically that France has the largest and best trained military in Europe and it NEEDS to be doing something. That is my take from his verbiage and body language at least. I approve.
And the Poles, more than anyone else not in Ukraine right now, know EXACTLY what is at stake here. They are surging their military size and I cannot imagine anyone being more deadly serious about it than them at the moment. Between their own tortured history with Russia, they are receiving huge swathes of the displaced Ukes into their country. They are seeing with their own eyes the fallout of what a Russian madman is capable of. Not that they really needed a reminder.
We have been saying for a long time that Europe needs to fix this Europe problem. Well, they just may end up doing that after all. Especially if we guarantee protection from retaliatory strikes. At this point, I don't doubt that there will be involvement and probably sooner rather than later.
