Supporting, training, arming terrorist organization on our border, hosting these terrorists in their country and doing the same with dictators in Africa is not exactly a silent stance. What else can France do without provoking a similar response? Nothing. I can assure you that Turkey is not the prey in this situation. A military response will be a catastrophe.The problem is that France wont be keeping its silent stance forever

France now literally defending Russia against Ukraine. You know, ignoring that Ukraine bombed that Russian artillery position in response to separatists killing a Ukrainian soldier earlier. If Erdogan was actually a smart diplomat, he could use this to hammer France for being hypocrites and possibly even force NATO to sanction France to avoid looking like idiots but he has all the diplomatic finesse of steroid-abusing junkie with a sledgehammer.France: We are concerned about the use of Turkish UCAVs in Ukraine
Spokesperson of the French Ministry of Foreign Affairs said that they are worried about the use of Turkish UCAVs in Donbass and that the use of such weapons in Ukraine will harm the recovery environment.
A similar statement came from France after Russia expressed my dissatisfaction with the use of armed unmanned aerial vehicles (UCAV) produced by the Turkish company Baykar in Ukraine.
Spokesperson of the French Ministry of Foreign Affairs said that they are concerned about the use of Turkish UCAVs in the Donbass region in eastern Ukraine.
The spokesperson said that heavy weapons are being used in Ukraine and that this may harm the healing environment with the ceasefire.
The spokesperson also emphasized that such weapons are contrary to the ceasefire that came into force on 27 July 2020.
He does not deal with petty stuff. It is already obvious what France is doing, there is no point in pointing it out. Responses to actions come in unexpected times.France now literally defending Russia against Ukraine.

idiots and cowards.. they want status quo, no trouble and continuing to do trade with Russia while Ukraine suffers. Ukrainians will see their true friends. This is just how they acted about Karabag issue for 20 years@GermanyDiplo condemns the Ukrainian drone strike on pro-Kremlin troops in eastern Ukraine, yesterday, claiming it would be a breach of the Minsk agreements.
Berlin and Moscow refer to the Minsk Memorandum from Sept 2014, banning "foreign drones" 30 km from the front.
It keeps getting better
Exactly!idiots and cowards.. they want status quo, no trouble and continuing to do trade with Russia while Ukraine suffers. Ukrainians will see their true friends. This is just how they acted about Karabag issue for 20 years
Wrong analysis dear Friend!If Erdogan was actually a smart diplomat, he could use this to hammer France for being hypocrites and possibly even force NATO to sanction France to avoid looking like idiots but he has all the diplomatic finesse of steroid-abusing junkie with a sledgehammer.
Germany and France won't care since the point is that they already work with Russia.The guy literally summarised the whole situation
Man Turkey really needs to give free access to Russia through the straights, lool
By this, Germany and France will start to actually piss themselves, lool
Never said to openly kiss the russian legGermany and France won't care since the point is that they already work with Russia.
This is why I do not understand those who love to point out how the West is an unreliable ally and then say Turkey should align itself with the likes of Russia, who is an openly hostile entity.
1) Turkey can't ditch them, that's the point. The West knows perfectly well that Turkey really, really doesn't want to have to rely fully on Russia and Turkish attempts to play this "or else" game have failed because NATO or the US specifically, doesn't care and knows Turkey is bluffing.Never said to openly kiss the russian leg
What I just said is to ensure that the West knows that at any given time, Turkey can ditch them
And why are you acting as if the West isnt openly hostile
At least the Russians, whether out of free will or with malice, is still providing Turkey with nuclear tech; something that the so called "not-openly hostile" entities refused to provide Turkey with

Do you really think that it is tough for Russia to kick Turkey in the Ass in either Syria or libya? Do you really believe that a blitz of 40 Su-35s wont do the job? If so, then why is Russia trying to find a middle ground with Turkey? Because the russians know that them being friendly with the turks makes the West fqing uneasy and this makes the West more susceptible to mistakes2) The West isn't in an open conflict with Turkey. Russia is. And unlike most Western states, Russia is Turkey's biggest geopolitical rival. Turkey can potentially smooth things over with nations like the US, Russia will always be a sore point.
Iam not talking about the nuclear power plant3) Russia is helping Turkey to build a nuclear power plant. So is China. So is Japan. And France, believe it or not. Turkey received several bids from various companies to assist in this and there was little opposition from the West towards Turkey having nuclear power plants.
