We have a Matrix homeserver and a Matrix space. See this thread for more information. If you believe the server may be down, check the status on status.elara.ws.
Rules:
- No bigotry, anti-communism, pro-imperialism or ultra-leftism (anti-AES)

They’ll need 300k to change the tide of the war…
60k is a blood sacrifice.
The biggest issue is that the French army, much like any other western army, has no experience in fighting peers. The only two countries in the world which have that are Russia and Ukraine. French officers themselves admitted that the russian army is not the main (arguably only) reference when it comes to peer-to-peer combat operations.
French troops would not fare any better than the élite, nato-equipped ukrainian brigades that smashed their heads against the Surovikin line.
I will say this tho - i never thought i would live to see german tanks burn on russian soil again, and i am sort of excited to see the french being beaten out of russia again
300k is probably between 3/4 and all of actual combat personnel in entire EU.
