The June 6 landing taught us a lesson: we cannot wage a half-hearted war against a determined aggressor. If history does not repeat itself identically, the Ukrainian conflict shows us that excessive caution leads to nothing.
Today the vocabulary has changed. We are not saying that Ukraine must win, but that it must not lose. Linguistic subtleties that slowed down and sometimes blocked aid to Kiev.
In his televised intervention, the head of state took a new step: the supply of the Mirage 2000 to the Ukrainian Air Force and the training of a brigade of instructors for the army. Climbing or adapting to the terrain?
The debate is wide open. He himself participates in the war. It is clear that the Russian army, true to its tradition, is moving forward like a steamroller. It doesn’t pose much of a threat to big cities, but it wears the opponent down. And, undoubtedly, also, the patience of Western countries.
For now, Putin and his entourage are content with threats. One idea among others floated by the Kremlin: aid and arm countries that don’t like France. Gestures that can still be intimidating. No one is in the head of the former KGB colonel.
But his way of solving the Ukrainian issue proves that he does not want to compromise on anything. Let’s not forget that two years ago he wanted to annex the entire neighborhood. It would probably take more than a few dozen Mirages for him to see sense. And above all, do not be afraid.
