I know Medvedev said the french troops would be considered as elite fighters and would be priority to be hit without any chance of returning the bodies home. But I don't know what Putin said.

If the west isn't going to take them I hope China dumps some here in my country then. The western brands are like twice the price they should be so even if the chinese brands aren't as low as they should they should already be much lower than current prices, as seen by one western brand lowering the price of one of their cars by 25-30% in preparation to deal with BYD getting in the market...

Although Russia says there are over 3,100 mercenaries in Ukraine, these newly arriving troops are not mercenaries. They are in uniform, home country proclaimed via insignia. They mostly are concentrated in the western part of the country, although in some cases they are close to the actual fighting in the east.

According to this there are already NATO troops in Ukraine. Any more sources on this? I don't remember hearing about it to such a degree before.

And that's only the cotst of defence. I don't think we know yet how much actual damage there was and if Iran managed to destroy just one air defence system this price tag could possibly double.

China has had a few years to be prepared for such things and has an idea of what can happen based on Ukraine so they do have a few different approaches, like seting a red line and nuking the US immediately after it's crossed or what I think is more likely, do nothing in regards to this intrusion other than station boats between the yankees and China while increasing decolonization efforts and sending weapons to Yemen and Russia, supporting a possible takeover of Ukraine while trying to push the more trobolesome elements of Ukraine to flee to the EU so they start causing trouble there.

Taking the opportunity of the colonialists probably not accepting the UNSC cease fire proposal to sanction them and key western industries related to them with the BRICS and Global South, increasing the cost of genocide to the whole west could also be a good move. And although I don't expect China going against the west in a more direct way diplomatically this could be the time for them to get maximum return on whatever they do, specially if they are already going to be blamed for it one way or another.

With the Yemeni enforced blockade I was thinking about this too but with the Panama Canal and how it closing could be a massive boost for the Global South by making resource transportation very expensive and such things, but looking at it now it apparently is, or was recently, already being affected by draught losing one third of normal traffic. So I guess anything else impeding or slowing global trade in the next few months could have massive consequences when taken toghether with the other events.

Well except continue training Nazi terrorists to attack Russia

With their support from the population they may decide it's better to turn on NATO asking for land or other things.

And if they fight these new soldiers, which will probably happen even if by mistake, will Russia also consider it an act of war from the new participant countries and will they attack their territory for it?

The sionists declared Lula persona non grata in the colonialists stolen land and demanded he take back what he said. Lula said he would do no such thing and there was an official note from Brazil saying it is them who must apologize, but not to Brazil but to the world.

There was quite a lot more too but I guess that's the basic idea. As an extra note, when the fighting started and many people were being allowed out of Gaza to return to their countries the sionists did not allow the Brazilians out for a long time because Brazil had said things against the genocide then as well.

and the safety of the crew is its “foremost priority”.

If that really was the case that ship would never have gone there.

That "I" in "IOF" still looks bad to me. I think zionist terrorist would be better still.

They're so used to doing these things in other countries that they will try it themselves?

Let me grab some popcorn.
