Schill said France could engage a division of 20,000 troops within 30 days to operate as part of an allied coalition. Paris, he added, would be able to command a force of around 60,000 soldiers made up of French and other allied troops. The French army comprises some 121,000 soldiers, with 24,000 reservists.

      They may as well call it doing a Hobbit, because every time they tried that they went There And Back Again. After Napoleon tried it Russian troops ended up in Paris, after Hitler tried it Soviet troops ended up in Berlin. Do they somehow hope third time’s the charm? Doing the same thing over and over again expecting different results is usually not a sign of sanity.
