NickP Posted July 26 Share Posted July 26 It is not a good start to the first week of the French Olympics. They are saying it's vandalism, seems to me to be a rather organised and well-planned attack on the rail lines. I can't think that vandals would be that together.

alittlebitfrench Posted July 26 Share Posted July 26 It seems to me like a very very highly sophisticated attack which requires a lot of technical know how. Not islamic terror….they like killing people. I don’t think this is French vandalism. Naa…this is not disgruntled ex French SNCF workers or anyone else. That leaves one other perpetrator. Is this the start of war ? It this an attack on a nato country ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harnser Posted July 26 Share Posted July 26 It's to embarrass Macron on the morning of the start of the Olympics. Who would want to embarrass Macron? Ok it's a long list, but the prime French candidate is Melenchon's extreme left rag-bag, as their candidate for prime minister has been turned down by Macron. It's likely the saboteurs were French as they knew exactly where to act to cause the maximum disruption. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveLister Posted July 26 Share Posted July 26 However, only two days ago French police arrested a Russian man suspected of planning to destabilise the games. https://www.reuters.com/world/europe/france-arrests-russian-suspected-planning-destabilize-olympics-2024-07-24/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

St Etienne I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No way were they French . French nationalité maybe. Asleep. Read the comments on the DM. Bots (who have no knowledge of France) blaming migrants and others to sow discord . Yeah like they have knowledge of sophisticated TGV signaling systems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveLister Posted July 26 Share Posted July 26 Apparently a similar device was found on the rail line between Aix and Marseille in early May. It coincided with the passage of the Olympic flame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
