FRANCE YELLOW VESTS WEEK 398*WAR AND DEATH WEEK*"AT THE COST OF BLOOD IF NECESSARY"*'ASSISTED DEATH' SHIFTS $ TO DEFENSE*BOMB ATTACK VICTIM POINTS TO UKRAINE*
(NEWS, COMMENT AND ANALYSIS WITH MAINSTREAM MEDIA SOURCES)
One could call this a week of "War And Death" in France.
Tuesday's July 14th parade in Paris the annual Bastille Day event more militarized than ever 6,600 French soldiers with hundreds of soldiers from dozens of countries that support Ukraine also involved.
A coalition of 36 nations dubbed the "Coalition of the Willing" involved.
Leaders of those nations and Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelensky participating in the parade.
It was revealed that military maneuvers involving Ukrainian soldiers and military forces of the coalition are to happen outside of Ukraine in the months ahead.
For now, the notion of the maneuvers is linked to a French and British led force to be deployed in event of a 'ceasefire' in Ukraine.
That linked to US President Donald Trump's on again, off again talks with Russia over the Ukraine War.
But as the European nations build their military strength aligning themselves with Mr. Trump's standard of five percent of GDP being spent on defense by 2035, the ability of European-NATO countries to move beyond 'peacekeeping' in Ukraine will grow.
This could mean French-European forces bearing the brunt of warfare against Russia and supporting US confrontation with China in the "Indo-Pacific".
The US plays the background role in the rising confrontation with Russia supplying arms for Ukraine paid for by European countries.
The US has publicly stated it is reducing its commitment to NATO to meet other commitments.
In conjunction with last Tuesday's festivities, it was announced that France military reserve strength has grown to 51,000 personnel.
Young people are being encouraged to enlist for military training followed by release into civilian life for recall when needed.
"The message we send to the world is this. Yes, peace is our goal. We cherish freedom and the rule of law.
And yes, we stand ready to fight and defend them.
Always, and at the cost of blood if necessary."
