      Can you “invade” a country that’s begging for your help? The Russians are there despite Ukrainians wanting them dead, the French would have a warm reception and gratitude.

      Seems like an intentionally misleading way to phrase it.

      France putting boots on the ground is a red line for Russia and is a declaration of war. It would mean two nuclear powers are now officially at war and you know how fast things can escalate.
