To the question: “if the protection of France required that the country engage in war in Ukraine, would you be ready to commit to defending your country?

This is comical. Surely you don't actually believe this?

Yeah, once Russia takes Ukraine they will easily pass through 5 more countries on their way to France

The GDP of France is double that of Russia. Their demographics not horrible like Russia's and trade is important to France. Trade with Ukraine is a good thing for France and a Ukrainian victory is all but a death knell to Russia so it may never be a threat to any of its neighbors again.

Nice try Igor Ivanovich

How many countries did Iraq have to go through to get to the United States before the US invasion of 2003?

"We'll fight them there so we don't have to fight them here" isn't a new talking point.
