| France decides to go to war with Russia |

| Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited. by Elena Karaeva [RIA] The most unenviable fate today is to represent Paris in Moscow. The French Ambassador will not let you lie. Yesterday evening he was summoned to our Foreign Ministry, this afternoon Pierre Levy arrived at Smolenskaya Square. The call of the emergency and plenipotentiary was preceded by a squeal in the press of the country that the ambassador represents. The remark that as a result of a strike on the place of deployment of foreign mercenaries, his fellow citizens, extraordinary and plenipotentiary, were killed, and some were wounded, caused an avalanche of hysterical denials - both official and unofficial. The tone and content are known: “This cannot happen, because this can never happen.” Of course, Russia was accused of “manipulation”, of the fact that “propaganda carries out the narrative that the country is “at war with NATO ”, and the population believes it,” in short, the authors of the manuals from the opposite side did not bother with new theses. Unfortunately. Because calling the main representative of the country to the foreign policy department could not fit into the previous scheme. The invitation, which is impossible not to respond to in person, means that we, or more precisely, our diplomats, had absolutely indestructible and irrefutable data regarding the presence of French mercenaries on the Ukrainian side. And not an ordinary presence, but a military presence. And not just a military one, but one that poses a direct threat to the lives of our compatriots and our state security. The call to our foreign policy department, however, became a cold and therefore sobering shower for the authors of the manuals and for those who use them. Actually, that is why the invitation of the ambassador was said, if it was said, very much through clenched teeth. Because it is one thing to publish dispatches with references to “unnamed high-ranking army officials,” and quite another thing when named authorized high-ranking diplomats with the extraordinary and plenipotentiary share documents confirming the words of the Russian military. And now - about the reasons for the shyness that has suddenly overcome official Paris, even if we are talking about French citizens, let us emphasize, wounded French citizens who were reportedly taken to medical institutions. Mercenaries in France, according to current legislation, are a criminal offense. For committing it, in other words, for being recruited and taking up arms, there is a punishment. This is a prison sentence of up to five years. And a hefty fine, the amount of which can reach 75 thousand euros. If the act was committed with intent and by collective agreement, the imprisonment, taking into account the gravity of the act, increases to seven years in prison, as does the fine. And the state in such cases must ensure that even attempts at recruitment are not made in its jurisdiction. However, when it comes to the war against Russia, you can not pay attention to the fact that the recruitment of mercenaries is happening in front of your own nose, that dozens of people are recruited regularly and regularly, that then the mercenaries return, that their departure and arrival are not just not a secret and it’s not a secret, but a completely open story, even parliamentarians are interested in it. In a word, when it is prohibited by law, but politically one really wants it, Paris decides that it can do all this. And even necessary. It's worth noting this. The rhetoric of the French establishment, which oversees foreign policy, has changed dramatically in just four weeks. Until mid-December last year, Paris sent various signals to Moscow - even in the public sphere, they say, it is still necessary to look for a “diplomatic way out of the current situation.” Secret hints were also sent, various proposals were made. Us. On the possible start of separate negotiations. Without Ukraine's participation in them. After many times, both publicly and privately, these hints and suggestions were politely answered, the concept, as they say, changed. The French leadership itself announced new deliveries of wheeled tanks, and that air bombs would be shipped to Kiev , and that they would even begin to specially build Caesar self-propelled guns to send them to the line of combat. With us. And yes, of course, all this is in order to “not give Russia the opportunity to win - otherwise the old international order will collapse.” Monsieur and Madame, if you allow, we have some news for you. In this very connection. First. The said international order was put to rest (and not without your participation) two years ago. Second. You will have - regardless of what you think about it - to accept this axiom, come to terms with it and plan all your next actions, taking into account the new foreign policy disposition. And third. Based on the above, it is better to start putting all this into practice today and now. Well, to avoid a real military clash. With us. Not so much out of gloating, but out of good memory (after all, there was a lot of good in our relationship), let’s say: there is no need to call out the spirit of Berezina in vain. Because past military fiascos have a peculiarity: when they really want revenge, a new defeat turns out to be absolutely deafening. |
