UPDATE 1:24 PM EDT --
The Chief of Staff for the French Army, Gen. Pierre Schill,

has stated that forces must be ready “as early as tonight” for high-intensity warfare, warning of a potential direct military confrontation in the near future with Russia over the defense of a NATO Ally in Eastern Europe.
HAL TURNER ANALYSIS
General Pierre Schill basically just told the world France is ready to throw on the gloves with Russia tonight if NATO calls the shot. That’s not peacetime language, that’s war footing.
When a top general openly warns of “high-intensity warfare” and hints at defending Eastern Europe, it means the brass are looking at this Ukraine-Russia mess turning into a full-blown NATO showdown.
Translation: tanks, jets, missiles, not proxy games.
The scary part? Leaders wouldn’t let him say this publicly unless the threat was real.
Europe’s sleepwalking into World War III while half its citizens are worried about climate taxes and TikTok.
This is the kind of spark that changes history overnight.
