France to send warships to support Greece in Turkish standoff

[xenon54 out]

Nope, a airforce and navy as Turkey you can do not much. If something breaks out that ship is nothing but practice ship. Ther should be at least 2 submarine and 3 AAW frigatte escorting in real life scenarios. And operating from stand off distances.

Sure France is a major millitary power but to be honest concerning Eastern Mediterranean except American ''actual position'' sure not the rhetorical one the rest is irrelevant. French presence is/will be a non-factor. In case of an actual war French is the first one who will left the war zone! since France's power projection capacity is not enough to be effective in Turkey's backyard i.e simply it is not the right place for France to fight with Turkey and I doubt that French public opinion is hardly ready for the arival of dead French sailors because of Greece!

No idea just what the French are doing here, supporting one NATO member over another. I guess it's also an EU thing, or are the politicians that fickle that they just hate the Turks and want to annoy them?
If God forbid a shooting match started the French would just have to sit there and let Greece get punched around.
