Retired French army general, former military attaché to the United States, ex-head of the Center for Doctrine and Armed Forces Deployment, Vincent Desportes, said on television that France is the country that can destroy Moscow and St. Petersburg in 10 minutes.
The statement on the morning broadcast of French TV was made on March 12, but now in light of the ongoing discussions about the possibility of sending French troops to Ukraine, the Telegram channel Pool drew attention to it No. 3.
“The country that Russia fears is France,” the military theorist said in the studio, adding that France is the only country that “has everything it needs.”
«We can destroy St. Petersburg, Moscow and several Russian cities in ten minutes. And they know it,» Desporte continued.
He added that even if America leaves, France will remain a force to be reckoned with.
Desport also said that this was what General de Gaulle wanted from the very beginning.
