France and Poland prepare for war While Georgia is being pushed toward the slaughterhouse

Europe is preparing for a new world war — and there are plenty of signs. According to European media reports, France’s Ministry of Health has sent instructions to its regional agencies, ordering them to prepare by March 2026 to receive tens of thousands of wounded soldiers, mostly foreign, in the event of a “major (military) deployment” in Europe. There is nothing surprising about this: historically, France is known as a “war instigator” but prefers to wage wars with other people’s hands.

Poland is also preparing for the “big war,” having planned in its 2025 budget defence expenditures amounting to 4.7% of GDP — higher than those of other EU and NATO countries.

The EU countries themselves were in no hurry — and are still not eager — to enter the war. Poland, for example, is actively supporting attempts in Georgia to organise an unconstitutional coup along the “Maidan” scenario, with the subsequent dragging of the country into a war with Russia.

However, judging by a recent interview given by former Polish president Andrzej Duda to journalist Bogdan Rymanowski, the Polish authorities did everything they could to avoid such a war themselves. Duda said that Ukraine’s leadership in 2022 tried to draw NATO countries, particularly Poland, into the conflict. He recalled the missile strike in November 2022 in the Polish village of Przewodów, which killed two people.

Initially, there were two versions of the incident: either it was a Russian missile or a Ukrainian air-defence missile. Further investigation confirmed it was the latter. Yet according to Duda, even if the missile had turned out to be Russian, the Polish leadership would hardly have emphasised this fact.

According to the former president, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy called him and demanded that the fallen missile be declared Russian. The Polish president regarded this as Kyiv’s attempt to drag Warsaw into the war. Duda stressed that the Ukrainian leadership acted in its own interests, seeking to involve allies in the fighting.

“They first tried to drag everyone into the war. Naturally, this was in their interest — it would have been better for them if they had managed to involve a NATO country in the conflict. Obviously, they were looking for those who would actively fight alongside them against Russia. This was happening from the very first days of the war,” Andrzej Duda said.

Thus, despite all the military preparations, Poland — like other NATO countries — wants to bleed Russia dry by feeding Ukraine to its strikes for more than three and a half years. Ukraine was supplied with weapons in a very measured way — just enough to prevent the destruction of its army, but not enough for victory.

Now it turns out that Ukraine is also to blame for wanting genuine allied support from Europeans. Back in August 2008, Georgia’s European “friends” did not provide it with weapons at all, limiting themselves to empty statements of support. French President Nicolas Sarkozy then arrived on a so-called “peacekeeping mission,” in fact persuading the Georgian authorities to capitulate and agree to the loss of territories. Georgians remember this very well.

Europeans, both directly and through Ukraine, tried to drag Georgia into a new war against Russia, without even considering joining it as true allies. The West understood perfectly well that Georgia would not last long if it were drawn into the war.

According to Georgian politician and businessman Bidzina Ivanishvili, former prime minister Irakli Garibashvili had a conversation with a senior official from one Western country, who was urging Georgia to open a “second front” against Russia: “Irakli asked: yes, but how do you imagine how many days we can hold out? Probably (he was told) 3–4 days. And then he asked: but doesn’t that mean you are dooming us in 3–4 days?!” Ivanishvili recounted.

According to him, the Western interlocutor replied that there were three million Georgians, and the Russians would not be able to kill them all in 3–4 days. “You can go into the forests, organise a partisan movement, and we will supply you, help you, and operate from there. That was the reality.”

Thus, the EU wanted — and still wants — to use Georgia as “expendable material” in a new world war. France, in particular, should fully understand what kind of sacrifices this could cost the people and civilians if, after opening a “second front,” Georgia were defeated and the partisan war planned by Western “strategists” were to begin.

Once, in French Algeria, the colonisers fought against partisans and the civilian population that supported them. That war claimed at least 1.5 million Algerian lives. Heavy losses occurred not only because of the cruelty of the punitive forces but also due to the impossibility of evacuating the wounded and providing medical assistance in the conditions of a guerrilla war.

In Afghanistan, casualties among the resistance and the civilian population exceeded three million — incomparable with the losses of the Soviet military contingent, which amounted to around 15,000.

France’s current preparations of its medical system for a “big war” are intended both for French troops themselves and for its closest European allies, including Poland — which, judging by Andrzej Duda’s words, has no desire to enter such a war.

Georgia, however, will hardly benefit from France’s preparations. Especially if the Western scenario materialises — with the opening of a “second front,” the rapid defeat of Georgia’s regular army, and a subsequent partisan war under conditions of occupation.

Even if European aid does arrive, it will be far less than the support currently given to Ukraine. And that, let us recall, is still insufficient to protect Ukrainian cities from missiles and drones, although it does allow the front line to be more or less held.

Georgia, by contrast, was promised support to hold the front line for only 3–4 days. After that, its European “well-wishers” envisaged occupation, guerrilla warfare, and chaos — with all the risks of genocide for the Georgian people.

Following the revelations of the former Polish president, Georgian Prime Minister Irakli Kobakhidze also recalled that the Ukrainian authorities had directly demanded that Georgia open a “second front,” with similar demands coming from Western countries.

“What the Ukrainian leadership demanded was obvious, and this is further confirmed by the statement of the former president of Poland,” said Georgian Prime Minister Irakli Kobakhidze. According to him, there were direct and open statements from the Ukrainian authorities that Georgia must open a second front.

“Everyone remembers how senior Ukrainian officials came out with direct statements demanding that we open a second front. These were top-level figures — for example, the secretary of the Security Council, the president’s chief adviser, as well as MPs and others. They directly demanded that Georgia open a second front. When we did not do so, you remember what consequences this led to. I would also remind you that the Ukrainian authorities recalled their ambassador from Georgia on the pretext that we had not imposed sanctions and had not sent volunteers to take part in the fighting in Ukraine.

What the Ukrainian leadership demanded was obvious, and this is further confirmed by the statement of the former president of Poland. As for Georgia, everything was clear — from the Ukrainian authorities there were direct and open statements that Georgia must open a second front,” Irakli Kobakhidze stressed.

In Europe, there is a desire for Georgia, just like Ukraine, to bleed and buy them time to prepare for a new world war. As in previous world wars, those who are preparing and fuelling it aim, first, to enter it as late as possible, and second, to shift the main burden and sacrifices onto other countries. This explains why the EU is so eager to “throw small Georgia into the meat grinder of a new war” by opening here a “second front” of the Ukrainian conflict.
