“Death to Germany because they say their reason for existing is to support ‘Israel’[1]? That’s genocidal against Germans.”

Sorry, but I don’t care about your colonizer fragility.

    In a last year, how many wars was started by France? How many times France was aggressive towards neighbours? How many times wanted other independent country to cut ties to its allies and get rid of military?

    But there’s Africa and other parts of the world. Yes. And Russian forces are also there

    We know that usa is the biggest imperialist, but it’s not the only one.

      Imperialism is not just through war, you know that, right? France subjugates many African nations through the CFA franc, or coups, or extraction of their materials like Uranium.

      France doesn’t need to start wars, because they already dominate many countries economically. This is ridiculous.

      How many times wanted other independent country to cut ties to its allies and get rid of military?

      France is infamous for backing coups against African nations that go against their wishes.

      But there’s Africa and other parts of the world. Yes. And Russian forces are also there

      Ok? And? That doesn’t change the fact that France is also incredibly imperialist.

        So France bad because it’s exploiting Africa, but when ruSSia is doing the same thing and way worst things in Europe “that’s doesn’t change the fact…”?

        Noone is saying that France is good or not exploiting Africa, but one of us is pretending that Russia is not doing worst things.

          OK. I’ve read the article you linked. Just from it alone.

          In return for their security services, companies from the wider Wagner network are exploiting a gold mine in the CAR and cutting valuable tropical timber, among other things. Others brew beer, sell vodka in Bangui or trade sugar.

          How on earth are you actually trying to equate this to French neocolonialism, lol. France literally controls the currencies of FOURTEEN AFRICAN NATIONS. The french privately control tons of mines across west africa, gold and uranium. https://jacobin.com/2023/12/france-africa-empire-neocolonialism-domestic-far-right-repression-elites as an example.

          This isn’t even mentioning the history of France in Africa, which is incredibly relevant to analyzing its modern relations with African countries. I’m not denying Russia does bad things. I’m saying you’re full of shit by saying it’s the most imperialist country in Europe.
