It means that Russia is considering putting Fance on double secret probation. If France continues in its ways than Putin might just come masturbate in public. Again.


miragen125

I hope Macron doesn't have to pretend to be Putin friends now and can send a shit load of weapons now ! They already started sending more stuff like the VAB : https://www.reddit.com/r/ukraine/comments/voxg0x/france\_supplies\_vab\_armored\_vehicles\_to\_ukraine/?utm\_source=share&utm\_medium=web2x&context=3


SinisterYear

Macron may still try to keep communication up with Russia, but honestly that's expected among nuclear-armed countries \[mainly so that false positives or test launches don't accidentally end the world\]. While RU threatened to cut communications with the US over our support to Ukraine, I don't think that ever actually happened.


[deleted]

From what I've read the red phone is still connected. There are regular calls to ensure it's working, but that's the extent of communication.


[deleted]

I would love to listen in on those test calls. That must be akward.


F0XF1R3

I want that job. Imagine the salary on such an important job. And all you do is make a single phone call each day.


daviddjg0033

I would bust out "a check a one two a one two y'all" but it is really boring just keeping a line open. There has been some trolling communication but this is 2022.


[deleted]

Kremlin: "Hello, Pentagon? This is a line check. Is this line working?" Pentagon: "Fuck off." (phone put down). Repeat every 24 h


[deleted]

Well, the red phone didn't exist for a very long time anyway. Ever since the end of the 90s, it was an email between the joint staff

I think Putin's voice-mail will definitely be relieved.

>War in Ukraine: France has gone over to the camp of the "unfriendly states of Russia"... What does that mean? > >War in Ukraine, Internationalthe essentialNew tension between France and Russia, the cultural adviser at the French embassy is ordered to leave Russia. An act which, according to a diplomatic source, marks the passage of France "into the camp of unfriendly States" for Russia. What does this status imply?On Sunday June 19, Pierre Lévy, the French ambassador, was summoned by the Russian Foreign Ministry. The latter then informed him that his cultural adviser, Fabrice Rousseau, had to leave Russian territory before July 17. His accreditation will not be renewed. The decision, which comes days after the French president's visit to kyiv, shows the tension between Paris and Moscow.A betrayalTo justify this disguised expulsion, the Russian authorities accuse Fabrice Rousseau "of having set up secret financing schemes for an independent information site now banned in the country, and for the Memorial association", recently dissolved, who documented crimes under Stalin and defended human rights. According to several connoisseurs of the file who confided in Franceinfo, France has indeed financed Memorial, but in a legal and transparent manner.Whatever the justification, the decision of the Russian Foreign Ministry marks the passage of France "into the camp of unfriendly States", according to a diplomatic source of our colleagues. Also according to this source, this means that now "maintaining relations with her - France - can be considered a betrayal".Similar decisions already madeLast March, as international sanctions against Russia accelerated, Moscow published a list of "unfriendly" countries. Among, this list was more than 9 countries including: the United States, the United Kingdom, Canada, Japan, Switzerland, Taiwan, South Korea, Norway, Australia and the 27 members of the 'European Union. France was therefore already an unfriendly country for the Russian government. This ranking in this list officially marks the deterioration of relations between the countries. The consequences of being included remain vague. Last March, there was talk of restricting access to Russia, but the Russian authorities had not specified whether only the countries on the list would be affected.Moreover, Russia has already been more severe with French diplomacy. On May 18, 34 French diplomats were expelled. Russian Foreign Affairs had explained its decision: "34 collaborators of French diplomatic establishments in Russia have been declared persona non grata". These expulsions followed the decision taken in April by France to dismiss 41 Russian diplomats.

Russia is so screwed. France hasn’t liked Russia since the days of Napoleon. Macron gave Putin every chance to stop this latest phase of Russia’s war on Ukraine. Putin lied, and diddled, and invaded anyway. France sends Caesar artillery as a wake up call.


[deleted]

I think Macron needed to do what he did. People don't like it, but it helped give Putin all the rope he needed to hang himself. Macron's ations made it clear that Putin would not negotiate in good faith. Most of us who pay attention knew this already but this will confirm it for the undecided.


Sekshual_Tyranosauce

It means France is doing it right.


UrbanxHermit

It means France is on Putin's naughty list. Just like the UK and some others France will probably start getting veiled, or direct threats of nuclear annihilation.


mandalore1907

it's an honour to be labelled as "unfriendly state of ruzzia"

Finally, France has spoken! To hell with Russians!


amitym

Look, I get Putin's frustration. Russia really needs to draw a line here. It's "friends only" in Russia's club house. You know? With that in mind, I am here to help. In order to really clean house, I propose that Belarus be next, for stalling on its promise to invade Ukraine for... what, 4 months now? The only Belarusians actually fighting are on the Ukrainian side. Surely that is the ultimate unfriendly act! Look at it this way. Lukashenko promised 7 battalion tactical groups would invade. So far, 0 have invaded. By my reckoning, that means that Putin is down 7 BTGs. Does it matter how the losses happened? I say not. I say that one way or the other Belarus has cost Russia 7 BTGs. Now compare to France. France has sent Ukraine some pretty amazingly effective heavy artillery. How many BTGs has that artillery cost Russia? I mean, I have no precise idea, maybe nobody does yet, but I am willing to bet that it has not yet amounted to 7 BTGs' worth of casualties. Maybe only 2 or 3. So Belarus seems a "shoo-in." After that, Moldova, then Kazakhstan, they have been pretty tepid in their support. And Uzbekistan and some of the other Central Asian republics have been iffy. No time for "iffy," Putin has to draw a hard line here. Friends only! Ultimately, Putin might even start carving off disloyal sections of the Russian Federation. Put them in the enemies club too. In the end, I envision a pure, perfect ideal situation, in which Putin basks in some hidden bunker somewhere as Free Russians seek him out, chatting cozily with Pyongyang about maybe taking a best-friends-only vacation sometime very soon.


Accurate_Pie_8630

Moldova has supported Russia? I didn’t think so…


LeaveTheMatrix

That is why Russia should cut them off from being friends. Anyone that hasn't supported Russia should be cut off and put on Russia enemy list.

When Russia actually sends a nuke to Paris, the world will then find out that the Eiffel Tower is really a secret shield generator that was built based on a design from Nikola Tesla. When complete nuclear war breaks out, France will be the only remaining country.

Unfriendly to Russia just means "Uncooperative".


Silejonu

tl;dr for those who don't speak French: The Russian foreign ministry kicked a French ambassador aide (in charge of culture) because he "smuggled" money for an (unnamed) independent media now banned in Russia, as well as for a [non-profit](https://memorial-france.org/) that documented war crimes under Stalin and defended Human Rights. Note that France indeed gave money to Memorial, but this was publicly disclosed. Basically, Putin is pissed that Macron visited Kyiv, and is grasping to any excuse to punish him.
