France is preparing a contingent for deployment to Ukraine, initially comprising about 2,000 soldiers.
There is noticeable concern in the rank and file of the French army about the increased number of French casualties in Ukraine; despite France's continued public claims there are no French soldiers in Ukraine.
The Russians are already fully aware there are, in fact, French troops in Ukraine. If this latest contingent of two thousand are, in fact, sent to Ukraine, it is not yet known what public reaction Russia may have, or what action(s) Russia may take.
This is very much like putting frog in cold water, then gradually raising the heat.
By the time the frog realizes it is boiling, it is too late for the frog to jump out. THAT is how NATO is treating Russia. Slowly raising the heat, thinking Russia won't notice and won't take action, until it is too late for Russia.
Except the Russian are not a frog. They SEE what is taking place.
Sooner, rather than later, I suspect Russia will "jump" but it may not be jump out of Ukraine, it may be jump . . . at NATO. Full blast.
We are in gravely dangerous circumstances which are being made worse by our NATO "allies."
World War 3 is steadily approaching and we in the West have no one to blame but our own governments.
UPDATE 8:04 PM EDT --
