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”.

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

No, Tovarish Vatnov. That is not the reason.

It’s the opposite of infantilizing. I greatly admire the people of Chad for kicking out their colonizers. I’m not surprised the French engaged in sabotage on their way out.

There was no kicking anyone out. The government asked France to leave, and France left. That’s not a kick.

Still no condemnation of Russian imperial aggression. You know just because you’re not using your lemmygrad main doesn’t mean that you’re not obvious AF.

Flipping over the table on your way out does not signal a cordial exit nor amicable split.

I push back against NATO propaganda on here all the time. It’s just not relevant to this discussion. Check the modlog, and you’ll see plenty of my pushback. But if you want to engage with that part of your script, do it in the relevant discussions.
