#4 I read somewhere that as soon as both forces left their LD's (Line of Departure) the French embassy faxed in their official surrender of France signed by Chirac himself.

The US and Russian govenments then faxed back a message that they will appoint Chirac
"Occupation Minister for Life" and that all Rusain and US troops/civilians are henceforth forbidden to enter France indefinitly.

#5 LotR:
It must have been complicated. In Soviet terminology, the Reds are the "good guys" while Blue is the enemy.
This terminology goes back before WWII. (I have reports from the pre-invasion wargames.)
