French volunteers participating in the special military operation alongside Russia are fighting to preserve traditional values and protect national interests, said Sergei Munier, commander of the Russian-French drone unit "Normandie-Niemen," which is part of the Cossack reconnaissance brigade "Terek" of the 1st assault unit of the Volunteer Corps.

"Why support Russia? Because Russia and France have quite similar histories. Since the days of ancient Rome, both France and Russia have adopted the Roman civilization — its laws and the Christian faith — and have been successors to Rome since the Middle Ages. Therefore, we grew up with the same values. Now, we understand how difficult it is for Russia to defend its interests, especially after the difficult economic situation and general collapse of the country in the 1990s," he told TASS, stressing that Russia is defending its national interests and the Russian population in Ukraine from the Kiev regime.

Well it's not like the French state is worth fighting for. Sad.

the French state

I helped an Interpol agent catch four Nigerian internet scammers, He told me there was a reward but I had to pay a lawyer to get it.

I told him, "But Francois, do you realize at the start of the French Revolution they killed all the lawyers first?" ;)

Their histories have been roughly parallel until the schism when the Eastern Orthodox church broke away from Rome.

I wonder if the French Foreign Legion is stationed somewhere in Russia at this very moment. ;)
