As usual, the above new WaPo article however once
more confirms that the ploy is nothing more than the stated attempt
to keep Russia ‘guessing’ :
It is grounded in his view that the West
would be better off keeping the Kremlin guessing about what it is
prepared to do, rather than ruling out what it will not do. By
shifting to a posture of “strategic ambiguity,” Macron seems to
think, Ukraine’s allies could move beyond self-deterrence, shifting
to Putin the burden of calculating the risks of escalation.
Of course, what they mean by guessing, precisely,
is that they want Putin to believe that NATO will actually come to
Ukraine’s full military aid if the time comes—as in, actually
engaging Russian troops in combat while fighting side by side with
the Ukrainians. But no one seriously believes NATO has the solidarity
or spine to do so, and thus the ploy to bring in trainers is apt to
fall flat. That’s not to mention that, as the above article
outlines, Macron faces the risk of grave humiliation if Russia
chooses to strike his French “trainers”—in such a case he may
lose domestic support as he did nothing to prepare his people for
French soldiers returning in body bags, nor does he have any
realistic way of responding to such a technically legal attack on
Russia’s behalf. Either way, it has now been again confirmed by a
French ex-colonel that French troops have already long been in
Ukraine :
⚡️ French military advisers are
already in Ukraine, their task will be to maintain complex equipment
and train the Armed Forces of Ukraine, reports Valeurs Actuelles with
reference to ex-Colonel of the French Navy Pere de Jong.The French
military has been performing tasks in Ukraine since the beginning of
the war. – Valeurs Acteurs. Former commander of the Marine Corps
regiment Pere de Jong said that in Ukraine the French accompany the
maintenance of French weapons and train the Ukrainian Armed Forces.
At the same time, according to the publication, the official
announcement of the sending of French military instructors to Ukraine
may take place on June 6, during the celebration of the 80th
anniversary of the Allied landing in Normandy
