France just had to be forced out of African colonial holdings within the past year, and they sabotaged infrastructure on their way out.

I’m curious why you’re not giving specifics. Maybe because it’s part of the Russian colonial programme? France left, willingly, when those states withdrew their invitation. They didn’t force themselves in in the first place, they were there to fight Boko Haram and like ilk. The states had some reservations “The French are going to do all the fighting without developing our own military capabilities so afterwards we’ll still be vulnerable”. Germany said “yep we’ll expect the same that’s how they roll” so Germany went in together with the French, specifically doing training. Both left together once uninvited.

And don’t tell me they should’ve left bases etc. for Wagner to use.

I’m curious: Is Russia currently involved in an imperialist, genocidal conquest of Ukraine? Yes or no. Once that’s out of the way we can start talking about Africa.

…and don’t fucking even begin talking about Uranium. Noone needs North African Uranium, Australia has everyone covered for millennia to come.

Ahh. So now the right wing foreign policy is justified, and it’s Chad’s fault. LoL.

Does your script not cover Africa? Is that why you need to deflect to another place entirely?

It’s hilarious seeing you talk about “scripts” considering that your modlog reads like a cautionary tale on why you shouldn’t just believe everything the cool kid in detention says.

Chad, as in the country, no. Chad, as in the powers that be in Chad selling it out to foreign interest, yes, they’re very much at fault. The Déby dynasty (I guess that’s how it’s going to be now) is better than Habré but come on none of them are worth even a single clap of applause.

Overall, that’s some real neo-colonial, infantilising, BS from you, there, “Oh these poor undeveloped countries can’t make decisions for themselves, they’re at the whim of foreign influence, they have no agency”. That’s like 1/1000th of a step away from “we should invade and rule for them because they can’t”.

No, Tovarish Vatnov. That is not the reason.
