Finally someone with some friggin balls

That could be called balls if he would take the rifle himself.

Otherwise, it's political play - maybe a necessary one, but it has nothing to do with "balls".

It's more like, having rts or 4x gamer skills

It 100% is a political play but you must remeber thats what the armed forces of france signed up for they signed up to fight on behalf of the political power. Not one single other western country has even mentioned sending troops regardless of if he is the one holding a rifle (i suspect many of said troops being sent wont be doing such things they will most likly be engineers to support the western equipment) that is a ballsy political move and it should not be disregarded.

Or at least talks the talk. No one has much faith in him to actually follow through though.

Hes broken the seal on saying it hopefully a slightly more anti russian country (caugh caugh poland) will step up and let the people rape and kill their way across russia as they have wanted to for almost 100 years.
