i’m both happy and unhappy to learn about this; but thanks for sharing nonetheless.
i’m gay; so does this make me super gay?
i’m sad to see this downvoted on the lemmyverse outside of lemmy.word; i guess the blue maga infection is spreading.
Mr Macron issued an open letter on Wednesday claiming that “no one had won” and asked “republican forces” to form a “solid majority” to govern.
it looks like the predictions from the lemmyverse of macron trying to form coalition government that will minimize progressiveness as much as possible are true.
it’s pretty clear that the dnc is going to stick with biden no matter what and i think it’s because they know that they will not get the blame if he loses; progressives who wouldn’t/couldn’t hold their noses to vote for him will get that blame.
Again: I’m not seeing where Russia is treating the Sahel worse than fucking France is. I’m also gonna request your documentation on “african vassal states” to Russia; last I knew, Amerika’s got those by the pound-- who are you claiming is in cahoots with Russia, and why is that such a problem for you?
you miss understand me: the russians aren’t taking over nor colonizing africa; they’re simply destabilizing/weakening their european political enemies; while simultaneously giving their mercenary forces free training to create a battle hardened pool of conscript-able citizens; and also creating goodwill in africa; among other things.
it’s sort of like the russian’s version of china’s belt and road initiatives; except with guns and soldiers instead of financing and construction. and so far they’ve treated the african people well compared to the french; in fact the africans literally invited the russians in to unalive all of their “rebels”
also: “vassal states” was referring to british empire’s vassal states in africa; the united states prefers to fuck over latin america more than africa.
the russians aren’t going after the resources or setting up colonies that can be targeted by nato; they’ve been going after the parts french empire in africa that the french have intentionally kept weak/unstable and it’s been a winning strategy for the russians. they started with the sahel nations and are continuing on with the rest of africa and the english know they’re next so they’ve been working overtime to strengthen their own african vassal states, but they’re stuck with their own problems.
that’s why macron’s rhetoric on russia’s ukraine invasion has been so fiery compared to other european leaders; he’s got a decade long beef with them.
