WW1 - The Russian Expeditionary Force in France (1916-1917)
I have made this video because I am sick and tired of anti-Russian shitty propaganda and to remind all of us that we have more in common than these foolish disputes over some Syrian terrorists. I am an amateur military channel, I am French patriot so obviously, it would be easy to be a simplistic narrow-minded military fan and jump like crazy because we have sent a few missiles alongside our British and American comrades. But truth is, I believe that the West is wrong on Syria and Russia and I feel no joy at all about the recent developments of the Syrian war.
In the same time, I have always supported French soldiers, sailors and airmen as I consider that they are serving us but they can never choose their missions and that I should support them, no matter my political feelings. It happened many times that I shared or promoted videos on our soldiers' missions although I disagree with France's military involvement in these conflicts (for example in Former Yugoslavia, in Libya or the Central African Republic).
But an objective consideration on the situation in Syria leaves me no choice. I believe that the US, UK and France are not working for the best of their national interests and are not properly doing in the fight against Islamic terrorism in this region. I do not believe their storyline about Syria, Russia, chemical attacks and other news and I have no sympathy for Syrian "moderate rebels" (who are the most often actually related to Al Qaeda or other "democracy-loving" salafist groups...).
Consequently, I announce the following:
- I will not make or promote any video about French involvement in Iraq/Syria except if operations only against terrorist groups (notably ISIS).
- If you are waiting for some "Russia, be warned" stupid videos from me, you will wait for a long long time.
- I can just wait and hope for better relationships and cooperation between Russia and France, and with other Western partners. In the current situation, I believe that Russia, the Syrian Arab Republic led by President Bashar al-Assad and Iran should get more support from us than the insults and aggressive rhetoric that our political elites have developed for years in vain.
