But if it's true and they are indeed going to Odessa, then it's well to remember that Odessa is full of Russians. They would be no better place for Russia to monitor and indeed target French troop movements...
On the mater of a peaceful Europe, the West has learned nothing from all the events since the fall of the USSR. Creeping NATO expansion was essentially ignored but then more directly promising NATO membership to Ukraine was the line crossed which effectively caused this war...and here they are...again a creeping background with ever more powerful NATO weapons help & supposed civilian " trainers": a situation which has likewise been ignored, but is now in danger of crossing the very same red line into official NATO deployment.
As that's the final infringement that caused the Russians to go to war, presuming that they will ignore actual deployment seems highly unlikely: they will be hit.
Sloboda's reasonable suggestion is that this is part of a play which is really to encourage the other headless euro-chickens to join the war dance. It's certainly a high risk move placing them in Odessa for the above reasons so we can only presume that this is a deliberate sacrificial move.
We can also presume as he notes, that the French will then try use manufactured outrage over French army deaths to deliberately accelerate the movement of the others.
It strikes me that perhaps the "sacrificial 2000" will be Foreign Legion. If so Macron can be reckless with their lives and treat them as expendable pawns as they will be no French mothers nor fathers to chastise him for their pointless deaths in the media. Otherwise French military prestige has taken a hit in Africa...so doubtless the generals will be keen to recover a reputation for prowess with some kind of stunt.
He will have to gauge the public and international reaction after their deaths before deciding if sending in 20 000 genuine froggies is something he can get away with.
-Imagine the third world war being started and us all dying because of the vanity of that worthless egotistical little weasel-turd.
