French Foreign Minister Jean Noel Barrot said France’s military assistance to Saudi Arabia to help defend against attacks by Yemen’s Houthis is “strictly defensive”.

His comments followed President Emmanuel Macron’s announcement that French troops, radar units and defence systems would be deployed to the kingdom.

Barrot said France’s deployment of military assets to protect its allies and partners did not make Paris a party to Saudi Arabia’s war against the Houthis.

“Absolutely not… This is strictly defensive,” he said on France 2.

“Does that mean at any time we can be considered co-belligerents? Never.”

weird cause you cant defend france with soldiers in saudi arabia

Oh remember when that fake ass EU parliament were condemning Saudi Arabia over its fucked up human rights records in 2017-19.

Look at it now, france is literally deploying troops to defend a monarchy that routinely kills journalists by putting them in freaking meat grinder.

I lost count how many “Mask off” moments the so called “DeMoCrAtically” elected EU governments has did since the goincide started in Gaza.

France is part of the EU but it's it's own country. EU governments are democratically elected? What are you getting at? They aren't perfect? Yeah no shit

I am calling out the usual hypocrisy of european governments specifically the filthy french one.
