I think it's long overdue that we say fuck the NATO proxy Nazi Kiev regime. The Ukrainian regime working alongside France, the UK, and the US to juice up ISIS headchoppers, to try to bring down the Sahel Alliance governments in Africa is beyond disgusting.

Mitterrand warned that if France ever lost her de facto African colonies, then France would be permanently poor. Later Chirac repeated this warning. Well now it's happening. Africa is kicking the disgusting French imperialists out for good. Macron warns against pessimism, but pessimism is realism

In 1957, while serving as a prominent minister during the Fourth Republic (and writing in his book Présence française et abandon), François Mitterrand famously warned:

"Without Africa, France will have no history in the 21st century."

Jacques Chirac (2005 / widely cited transcript):

"We bled Africa for four and a half centuries... a large part of the money in our banks comes precisely from the exploitation of the African continent."

Jacques Chirac (March 2008):

"Without Africa, France will slide down into the rank of a third-world power."

Zelensky was elected in 2019 on the promise that Ukraine would honor Minsk 2 and stop invading Donbas. 143 days after he won the election he announced a major U turn at the press conference in this video, saying Donbas would be taken by force and he didn't care how many died to achieve it

​

"From this day on, we are under martial law, we are going to war, we will fight, our army is ready, we will wage war on Donbass.

We will take back our territories by war and by military means, and we don´t care how many people will die, but we are ready to take back our land.

We are ready for direct military actions on the occupied territories."
