lmao what are they going to do? press a bunch of poor africans into service for them and then leave them all dead in a ditch again?

French officials also clarified that any potential forces sent would likely support operations such as de-mining rather than direct combat with Russian forces.

Russia's «defense» budget is estimated to be around 60% higher than France's, though France's GDP is around 70% higher than Russia's.

I'm pretty sure that France has the largest defense industry in Europe also.
