French embassy under siege
Nigerien military cut electricity and water, forbid food deliveries to french embassy after they refused to leave, does the French possess any kind of spec ops group for this kind of situation?
They have a specialized taunting force that makes fart noises.
They don't know France has nukes?
>MUH NOOOOOOOKS
When will people learn that Nukes are just a bluff? Using a nuclear weapon is an instant "everyone sanctions you and you are hated forever" button.
unless you're america, then you just get depicted in sunglasses all the time
See? Save Japan from a disastrous invasion that they have no hope of recovering from, and they still seethe.
first one's a freebie, everyone knows that but the one time use applies globally
Well yeah if no one else has nooks what the fuck are they going to do about it?
lol imagine france getting completely pariahed because they nuked some African shithole instead of putting their paper pushers on a plane and politely fucking off.
yeah but we're cool
Pariahs aren't canon anymore, haven't been since 4e and the wardcrons
>everyone sanctions you
BRICS+ working hard to make that a thing of the past.
As much as a pain as hungry and turkey is in NATO I cant imagine the shitshow of have china/india and UAE+Saudis/Iran in the same faction.
Everyone else is a walking example of how not to run an economy with such great powers as south africa, ethopia, argentina.
I cant wait to see what economic hijinks they come up with.
Nothing NATO can do will be close to what they can do to themselves
>When will people learn that Nukes are just a bluff?
It's called Nuclear Detergent, you imbecile
When the gallic cock yell at the morning ass, niger will know that the cock is in the ass and they will understand
Nigeria needs to grasp that it is no match for France.
>Nigeria
These are Nigeriens, not Nigerians. I know it's confusing. Maybe they do it on purpose in the hope France will attack the wrong one.
Same person, we get the joke.
One way or another, they're shooting morons.
>Maybe they do it on purpose in the hope France will attack the wrong one.
I hate polandball

Look on the map. to the North of Nigeria is a country called Niger. That is the one being reference. Pronounced Ni-zhair.

In all fairness, I still read it as "moron" every time I see it completely unintentionally.
FRENCH EMBASSY IS UNDER SIEGE
UNDER LOCKDOWN
moronS PULLING UP IN DSHK TRUCKS
GONNA FUCK FRENCH EMBASSY BUTTS
Could be the intention, France getting involved directly could cause Algeria to get involved and probably some others since i'm pretty sure the ex-colonies really hate France.
Basically force France to do something stupid and hope they can win that first engagement in order to convince other nearby countries to help them out. The hope being that the US won't be interested in helping France.
They hate France but they hate beatings even more.Everybody in NA remembers Gaddafi,Niger is barking on the wrong tree.
The US didn't give a shit about Gaddafi we just figured we'd take pity on Europe being incapable of sustaining a war right across the mediterranean. The outcome of that is a lot of Euro's blaming us for their own fuck-up. And that was the US right around when shit was kicking off with ISIS from what i remember while right now the US is way more likely to just let France stick their dick in a meat-grinder (Unless they offer to buy F-35's not because the sale would be useful but just to make them eat shit)
The us caused isis and the Arab spring. Is this baby’s first foreign policy?
>The us caused isis
sure
>and the Arab spring.
lol no. Decades of dictatorship cracked at the seams like they always do. The US tried to fan the flames for more favorable outcomes but to say the US was responsible is to deny that people exist in other countries.
>The us caused isis
ISIS was the result of Russian pro-islamist policies in the Middle East and Asia since the 19th century and especially since the 2000s. It is absolutely no coincidence that they exploded in numbers whenever Wagner was near - both in the Middle East and Africa.
>and the Arab spring
Yes, the USA totally leaked their own internal documents that showed how corrupt arab governments are. Oh wait no, it was a Russian puppet that did that.
Funny how vatniks like to blame the USA for everything they did themselves.
state department moron
>ISIS was the result of Russian
US had a hand by creating the vacuum for them to fill. Learn from your mistakes or repeat them again and again. And again and again and again.
>and the Arab spring
And you're also half wrong on this. Arab spring was organic in Tunisia, copied by others and the US did its best to fan the flames. The term arab spring iirc came out of the state department trying to evoke the eurocommie spring rebellions and garner support/cover for us involvement. The Arab spring was a farce.
No, arab incompetence and corruption caused those.
Least retarded 'Shart.
>The US didn't give a shit about Gaddafi
Reagan quite rightly bombed the shit out of him killing on of his (many) children) because he blew up US servicemen in a bar in Germany to get keks from the kremlin
That raid was a joint US and RAF raid largely in response to Libya giving weapons to the IRA and there is speculation as to wether the baby that was killed was even Gadafis daughter or just a fabrication to garner international sympathy for the regime. Either way they failed to kill him.
The real reason Gaddafi was killed was because of the gold dinar. It just took until 2011 for an acceptable reason for "intervention" to be fabricated. You will also notice that by 2011 the US had given up on "nation building" and just let Libya collapse into a power vaccume.
The gold dinar was a meme.
The EU was sucking Gadafi's dick for gas and oil and the UK releasing the Lockerbie bomber. They were happy about the status quo in Lybia vs. the bullshit in the ME.
But then the fall of oil prices and lack of food caused the Arab Spring and Gadafi lost control of his shithole including the italian/british/french inversions there. So the euros mounted an intervention and unironically strong armed the US to help them (Obama was just leaving Iraq)
Gadfly was a sponsor for every form of terrorist with the EU, the only people who wanted to even try and deal with him were Shell oil. He was an insane cocaine addict who was into fucking kids and batshit crazy. He talked shit and got hit like every fucking arab dealing with Europeans since the dawn of time. He murdered people form all over Europe and all thsese whining BRICs/Vatmoron/Arab fucks acting as apologists for him need to take a look in the mirror and ponder if their 'side' involves cheerleading for an insane paedo cocaine addict tyrant like Gadaffi maybe they should not be on that 'side'. His children behaved like savages while in Europe as well. If you fanboy for gadaffi you are just shit on the shoes of humanity.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/West_Berlin_discotheque_bombing
You're talking about Cold War shit that nobody in power cared about anymore past the 2000s (except retarded tankies and delusional turdies dreaming about panarab/panafrican nationalism) .
After Desert Storm, Gadafi was smart enough to sell himself to Europe as a reliable provider of gas/oil despite being a murderous clown, so they made deals with him and turned a blind eye to the past out of greed and Gadafi at least not being an islamist.
Look at this retarded fuck sucking the asshole of a dead paedo dictator.
>all thsese whining BRICs/Vatmoron/Arab fucks acting as apologists for him need to take a look in the mirror and ponder if their 'side' involves cheerleading for an insane paedo cocaine addict tyrant like Gadaffi maybe they should not be on that 'side'.

not (you)
but yea people in Europe by and large didn't give a fuck about gadafi
he was there, didn't do any stupid shit anymore, stoped africans from getting in ect.
The same as all the other north african petty dictators, we didn't care because they keep the borders calm. And the same went for belarus, ukraine ect.
We didn't and still don't give a fuck about people on the other side of the med if they don't do stupid shit that forces us to care.
Eu foreign policy is, keep calm, stop your people from coming here and have some gibs in the form of shit you have to import from us.
Look at you snivelling for gadaffi. He was despised in Europe and I'm glad he's dead. As regards your turd world take on EU policy, its as wrong as your take on gadaffi
The French and British bombed him. Simple as. Gadaffi was a loon and got what he fucking deserved
Your reading comprehension is shit, nobody is defending Gadafi, retard
Just telling what happened between him and the EU.
>The gold dinar was a meme.
Probably, but the US could not take the chance that it wasn't a meme so he had to go.
>cocaine, child abuse, and meddling in European affairs with fatal results
Careful there champ, you are describing huge swaths of the American leadership as well.
This is the smartest burger in the whole United States, really makes you think
70% of America's foreign policy blunders since wwii are us cleaning up France's messes. Outside of latam I mean.
>France getting involved directly could cause Algeria to get involved
No?
There was another thread where they were mentioned and then this thread gets made.
I thought Algeria hated France?
Meme geopolitical guesses aren't predictions, anon. Algeria will do nothing and doesn't have a reason to want to do anything.
the guy is an absolute schizo retard who just spouts any old shit and claims you won't hear about it because 'the media hides it'. when in reality even the shittiest of media tries to have at least some sort of source.
They aren't going to use a spec ops group. They were asked to leave, French government said no because it isn't a legitimate government. France is building a casus belli to intervene directly. Once Niger either lets protestors in to murder the embassy staff, or just starves them to death, France will be perfectly justified in invading and restoring the previous government. Or perhaps just set up a puppet state.
Algeria and any other country can get involved if they want to get regime changed.
Ehhhh France would have some pretty major issues doing that sort of stuff so it's a question of if the US decides to regime change countries that are busy screwing with france
>Ehhhh France would have some pretty major issues doing that sort of stuff
No. They have the force projection ability to do what they want in West Africa, especially if ECOWAS cooperates with them (which they will, because they don't like the coup government and having France on their side would make the war much, much easier). And nobody will step in to protect Niger.
Assuming there's actualy military actions France absolutely lacks the force projection to do that. Even before they started sending equipment to Ukraine they would have issues. now it ain't happening
No, they have more than enough strategic lift to move forces needed to defeat whatever Niger can come up with.
No they don't.
>NOOOOO NOT TRUE
??????
>France absolutely lacks the force projection
They have been conducting land military operations in Africa for the last 2 decades.
If you want to get a true sense of French capability, read:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Serval
Keep your eyes open for Mistrals (which Russia wanted to buy), the paradrop operation (largest in modern history), and number of modern planes (both transport and attack).
>France has lost their military capability because they sent some armor and artillery to Ukraine!
Dumbass zigger shill. The legion has been and still is operating all over the fucking place.
France has a wierd agreement with UK if its threatened, them together would be overkill. Even France alone if it could support a staging point would be easiky enough.
Yeah, people joke about French being cowards, but the fact is they have the largest (competent) army in Europe.
>people joke about French being cowards
And it stems from a complete lack of historical knowledge. France throughout history has always been a leading power. The only time they "surrendered" was during WW2, when much of Europe also surrendered. And that was only because the Maginot Line failed and the Germans got to Paris before they were ready.
also they lost tons of major battles due to being overly chivalric, aka charging into battle without fear. stupid, but not cowardly
>The only time they "surrendered" was during WW2
Your lack of education is disturbing
Enlighten us professor.
The Mexicans and Germans both beat France in the 1800s as well as Napolean getting trashed. The only redeeming attribute about France is that they are the one European country always willing to fight, but their ability to win said fights is intermittent at best.
Napoleon got beaten after conquering most of continental Europe, though. And Mexico had to fight France because Mexico was a vassal state of France. French projection wasn't on the level of the British Empire, but they were doing pretty goddamned good.
Franco-Prussian war was a defeat for France as well.
>ignores Franco-Prussian War
I see.
Didn't happen, doesn't exist. You have no proof, you might even be a voice in my head. Prussia isn't even a country, I've looked on Bing Maps.
>1800s as well as Napolean getting trashed
France is the only country that won 5 wars in a row against the ENTIRETY of the world in a coalition against it.
Can't make be more awesome than that.
So they're just gonna let the people in the embassy fucking die?
>or just starves them to death, France will be perfectly justified
How the fuck would it be justified?
Nigeriens aren't holding the embassy staff captive, so they are not responsible for their wellbeing. If the French would like to sit there and starve rather than leave and get food, so be it.
You can't just declare war by sending your citizen to starve somewhere, then claiming host nation was obligated to forcefeed him.
Vienna conventions moron.
Vienna conventions outline the responsibilities of the receiving state, moron.
Do Frenchies consider coup government legal representatives of the state of Niger? Then Vienna bounds Frenchies themselves to GTFO, as they were ordered to do so by the receiving state and they must obey.
And if they don't (they don't), then they can't invoke Vienna against these non-state actors.
>And if they don't (they don't), then they can't invoke Vienna against these non-state actors.
Oh yes they can, because the non-respect of the Vienna conventions is a justification for military intervention, if only to safeguard the diplomatic personnel.
>if only to safeguard the diplomatic personnel.
They are not in danger. They can just leave as demanded. Their suffering is self-imposed.
>Their suffering is self-imposed.
Considering the OP is fake, they're not suffering at all.
>They can just leave as demanded.
The junta's demands are irreceivable. The legal authority is the elected president.
And the legal authority of France is Louis XVI. Did you miss the coup? France has no authority in Niger and neither does your president of choice.
>And the legal authority of France is Louis XVI
Pretty sure there's been a couple of empires, five republics and two monarchies in between, anon.
Then invade in compliance with the request of a legitimate president, you don't need some dubious claims about defending the hungry diplomats.
Essentially, you want France to declare war on Niger while actually fighting for Nigerien government against their enemies. That's just silly.
>Essentially, you want France to declare war on Niger
Are you retarded? Seriously?
>citation needed
Here you go
Funny how the only thing the jihadists needed to expand their influence was for the French army to leave.
> UN says
Was there any time in history when UN wasn't a total joke?
>Was there any time in history when UN wasn't a total joke?
Oh, so you mean to tell that the jihadists are NOT expanding dramatically you worthless retard?
I couldn't care less how "dramatically" they're expanding in lands populated by literal afro-africans. That's some kino faction anyway and they look cool af.
When they democratically agreed to recognize Eretz Israel as a sovereign nation, that remains their greatest achievement to this day.
>non-respect
They're being deported, idiot. Allowing them to leave under their own power is more than enough respect.
>They're being deported, idiot.
Their 48h ultimatum came and went, the junta still got told to get fucked. So no they're not.
>Allowing them to leave under their own power is more than enough respect.
Allowing the junta to not be buried under GBU's is already plenty of respect.
>And the legal authority of France is Louis XVI. Did you miss the coup?
The coup which nobody recognizes?
>France has no authority in Niger and neither does your president of choice.
Neither has the junta.
The junta has control of the state and the military. They are the authority.
>The junta has control of the state and the military.
For how long?
The ones who provided 40% of their state's budget told them to get fucked, so that's bound to be hard to maintain.
They are not the recognised, legitimate authority. Deal with it.
By who? By you? It doesn't matter. They run the country.
>For how long long?
Deal with the present, not your denial of reality. Embassy staff can return if they're invited back. For now they're being expelled.
>By who? By you? It doesn't matter. They run the country.
By the world at large (i.e not authoritarian despots), so if they intend on usurping the government they will not get any support from the biggest economies in the world.
Also, them "running the country" is kind of a farce, given that it seems like it's about to be gobbled up by islamists
>not get any support from the biggest economies in the world.
As if the globe isn't littered with "pariah states." They'll be supported by the Iranian-Vz-China-Russia etc. axis.
They'll be supported by a poor people alliance and the poor people in the country will probably not feel as well from it, yes.
Yes. So your point is moot. Warlords don't care about being fintech hubs. They care about local power, and they will have it, and France can cry about it all day long and it won't make a difference.
>France can cry about it
They can cry bombs on them, yes
>Supported
>By nations who extort their own populations
I'm not arguing. This is reality.
Unfortunately there are other things in "reality" than the junta and what they want to have.
gee, lucky them!
Kicking out the French is its own reward.
still no luck there though
i would be more worried about the home front than some shit hole in Africa if they do invade, isn't there a large immigrant population from that area living in Paris that has already caused a few major riots in the past years?
Yeah but the French are too embarrassed to admit the problem even exists. Funny how they don't collect stats about race in France, I wonder why?
I don't think that would work out since almost all ECOWAS countries want to restore the former president and get rid of the junta
Wtf, how and why does togo have more tanks then most of the niger alliance members
Don't get excited.

Polanbros...
A link to Polish news sources that have stated this?
Complete bullshit, but they are making this shit up about polish mercenaries since last year. They even took coffins being flown in from Afghanistan like 10 years ago where the parade soldiers walk around with fucking SKS rifles and tried to paint it as polacks dying in ukraine lmao
The French still have capable White Special Operations Soldiers
at this point aren't Italians even more white than the French? they were importing north Africans by the boat load last I checked.
>Quick Britain deploy the French
t.France in 2 months
Let's all remember who invented all this anti-colonial bullshit first? That's right - mutts and their commie friends.
Yep
Never forget the anti apartheid act of 1986
That piece of shit that isn't worth the paper it's written on is soaked in more blood than a us elementary school classroom floor
You're retarded if you think a state where a minority of like 5% would be able to control a majority of like 95%, it was inevitably going to collapse no matter what happened
Boers were living just fine.
Yeah, when it was a few small republics where they outnumbered the African natives anyways
None-sense. They had a successful state when whites were in charge. They had a nuclear program, they achieved first heart transplant. And whites came to this territory before blacks.
"Outnumbering" is a strange argument for a claim on territory anyway. Blacks outnumber whites on planet Earth - does it mean they have more claim on planet Earth than whites? None-sense.
Anglos just evade responsibility as always.
It's a matter of principle. Belligerently vilifying and isolating the last white bastion of anti-communism is Africa after letting Rhodesia and by a lesser extent the Portuguese african possessions get strangled was a massive blow against white africans and a betrayal, especially when it came to what the British did.
I have nothing but contempt for bongs.
>No why didn't the superpowers prop up our failing colonial states and met us kill all the black people
The natives killed and enslaved eachother far more than colonial powers ever did.
cool, you'd rather prop up failing post-colonial states instead?
That’s a weird way of saying the French and Soviets. Euros started most of the anti-colonialism and then when it gained popularity across the pond it immediately was memory-holes that European universities were pushing anti-colonialism on students like a Russian conscript getting AIDs pushed in to him. Let’s bot forget to mention that anti-colonialism gained popularity when the cost of upholding colonies was eating away at the budget back home. Americans don’t have gibs to really complain about losing so it sure as hell wasn’t them, the Euros on the other hand…well, what caused the French to riot again a few months ago, or how about that time German students protested over not getting free lunch?
Why do you have to lie this blatantly? The US post-WWII was hyper-anti-colonialist and directly pushed for the French and British Empires to be dissolved.
>Mutts believe this shit
You were as bad if not worse than the Soviets.

SACRE BLEU
>does the French possess any kind of spec ops group for this kind of situation?
The GIGN deal with ambassy stuff
France has to rely on UK military transport for their African adventures. Allies and all that, but still.
France has no reliance on UK. Asking for transport help to move troops faster is just using your """allies""" who actually wanted you there in the first place.
Well then why use them? Do it yourself.
Most great and super powers operate in Africa, often together. Nice, uh, five year old image that somehow shows that France can't deploy an army unilaterally if it wanted to.
>They have totally fixed all their issues in 5 years despite spending under 2% of their budget on defence despite NATO agreements
>WHAT? YOU WANT PROOF? NO JUST SHUT UP IT'S 5 YEARS OLD THE FRENCH JUST DO IT BECAUSE... BECAUSE.... THEY JUST DO, OK?????? NO PROBLEMS HERE. THERE IS NO SHORTFALL NON NON NON!!!!! AIEEEE!
>They have totally fixed all their issues
You don't understand, you haven't mentioned an issue. You posted a five year old pic about helicopters. Your post is a factoid.
btw is standard practice on PrepHole to post retarded and obviously untrue greentext posts with a reaction image.
The airlift capacity of 40~ cargo craft is utterly insufficient and i'm not entirely sure on the extent of France's sea-lift capacity. Unless France intends to do hot landings with just infantry that is which..... even Niger might be able to win against that.
>The airlift capacity of 40~ cargo craft is utterly insufficient
It is not, if you're fighting Niger.
Shut the fuck up brainlet, 5000 troops was a stretch for them in Mali and took a fuck ton of nations C17s, heavy lift and helicopters on 24/7 standby.
lmao nah. You're just doing what you posted
and are trying to conflate cooperation with weakness or inadequacy again.
>Everyone pointing out the obvious is the same
Meds
>I'm a special snowflake
You're a retard talking about a supposed problem that doesn't exist.
UK, US, and other countries have been participating in activities in the region against Islamists for years. It's just not a boots on the ground type of thing.
By islamists you mean roaming bands of camel riding inbreds like all Muslims
They aren't a threat to anyone and they don't even require a second thought let alone the full attention of two European countries
They are a serious threat to African countries and they do have the attention of lots of NATO countries. Just not boots on the ground.
>They are a serious threat to African countries
They are a serious threat to the nostril
Not white people
Let's be serious for a second
You are acting like literal inbred camel riding nomads are a threat to white people
I'm content that you're wrong and all you can do is post like a 4chantard. Now reply to me thinking you'll get the last word.
By islamists he means people that don't live in houses
He means "people" that ride around on camels
>Unless France intends to do hot landings with just infantry that is which..... even Niger might be able to win against that.
Nah, France has an actual air force and a real carrier.
see
>Well then why use them?
Because UK was getting annoyed by the Islamists too and someone had to clean it up. Since the British army is good for many things, fighting excluded, they played the luggage boy role.
>shortfalls
AKA they had transport but could use mroe.
Aww you sound upset
>AKA they had transport but could use mroe
Post a French heavy lift helicopter...oh wait
Post a French strategic lift plane...oh wait
>Aww you sound upset
He doesn't, but you sound like a contrarian who has special needs.
>Doesnt post heavy lift or strat lift
Thanks for concession. Imagine Canada having a more capable strategic lift lmao
>Post a French heavy lift helicopter...oh wait
No they don't use Chinooks. They have smaller helicopters for that role.
>Post a French strategic lift plane...oh wait
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Airbus_A400M_Atlas
So no they dont have heavy lift helicopters and no they dont have a real strategic lift they have tactical that can do a lil bit of strat.
C17 is strategic lift, A400 is cope
No it isn't? A400 can move anything to Africa that France needs to move to Africa.
in b4 Leclerc, the inevitable teddy bear that crybabies cling to whenever anyone points out that the A400 is a great transport plane for France. You do not need Leclercs in Africa and that's not what they're for.
>A400 can move anything to Africa that France needs to move to Africa
Moot point France doesnt have what it needs in Africa hence picrel and Strategic aka C17 is the only way to go.
Also your point is a non starter because if they didnt need it they wouldnt have used the sheer amount of C17s from all those nations. They rent An's they are that desperate.
>If USA didn't need their allies to defeat Iraq they wouldn't have used the sheer amount of troops from all those nations
How you sound.
The US can do all of it by itself but chooses not too. The same can't be said for France.
You are just making shit up.
Why does this meme exist? It's very specific, it's very loud, it's very long lasting, and it's not true.
France can airlift to Africa things it needs to airlift. It has the internal capability.
>France can airlift to Africa things it needs to airlift. It has the internal capability.
Nothing you can say can refute the proof of everyone watching the frogs struggle and beg others for help.
My favorite was the talks about breaking out some British Sealift capabilities so they could move stuff to Africa for the French so they could then airlift it out of nearby allied airfields because they couldn't keep up with their own plans.
Nothing you say can refute the proof that you're just making that up. Allies helping each other is not weakness or lack of capability.
>ALLIES BAD
this is why you fags loose constantly
>France asking allies for help
>muh struggling and begging
You just really don't get the concept of a mutually-supporting alliance of equals, do you?
>hence picrel
Picrel is brit, what the fuck are you on
Man sometimes I forget just how fucking huge globemasters are
France has enough A400M to get more lift capacity than the British C17 fleet. Only 2 (british ones) helped the French during Operation Serval. During Operation Barkhane it was again only 3 Chinooks helping.
>Only 2 british ones helped
2 C17s flew every month for the entire conflict. Every fucking month!
The Chinooks were based there for 4 years. Doing the heavy work because France doesnt have that capability.
>The aim of the delivery was to extend French and Malian forces' operational range as part of Operation Barkhane.
>The Chinook, from 1310 Flight, lifted a large fuel container 25 nautical miles to a Forward Operating Base, allowing ground and air reconnaissance missions to operate at a greater distance from Gao, Mali.
As above, Frances capabilities are held back by lack of propper logistic equipment hence they ask for help.
This is not new, it happened in the Gulf 91 too. Stop getting upset.
>2 C17s flew every month for the entire conflict. Every fucking month!
And you think the French air force and navy did nothing there? It wouldn't be even any help if they sorties once and went home.
>As above, Frances capabilities are held back by lack of propper logistic equipment hence they ask for help.
"America's capabilities are held back by lack of proper army and air force, hence why they ask for help. It happened in Gulf 91 too."
>2 C17s flew every month for the entire conflict. Every fucking month!
That's it? These are planes that are fit to fly consistently every day. If France was actually dependent on them, they'd just be making daily routes.
Let it go man, this dumb fuck doesn't realize that the A400M had just entered service when Mali started, meaning that he doesn't account for 20+ A400ms of airlift capability in 2023
>Only 2 (british ones) helped the French during Operation Serval.
French actually activated EU military aid shit for that. French government wanted all NATO strategic airlift pool C-17 flight hours for them from other EU countries and whole lot of other airlift from other EU countries. Reality is that France can't operate on their backyard in Africa on their own due lack of airlift capability.
Yes France wanted also a Ferrari for every french soldier paid for by european money, they wanted to fuck the wifes of every european taxpayer, and lastly they requested that every single american become a slave worker for the french accordion industry.
And the worst part is everyone obliged!
Truly the french are the most evil people in the world.
They can't keep getting away with it!

Because France maintains capabilities other nations need instead. Pretty typical military alliance stuff.
Both France and the UK rely on each other for logistical support.
There is nothing wrong with that, they are not the US in population size, they are allies and use each others logistical stuff to help each other in conflicts, despite fighting each other over control of the world for 400+ years their goals are far more aligned than they used to be and are effectively allies.
It's like like saying "why does the US NEED to use all those UK and French bases overseas, what don't they have the logistical support to afford it? It's stupid and asinine.
I know some retards on here like to treat Europe as a seperate entity that needs to be whole independent, but its like saying nebraska needs its own navy that's independent so it can war overseas independent of all the other states.
They bough more A400Ms, won't fix the problem but its a start

Are the French losing their grip on West Africa? It feels like they've been getting kicked out of Africa at a rapid pace over the last few years.

Isn't French army actually leaving countries in the area, while Wagner is welcomed? Granted, after the plane "incident" there are rumors that it will be replaced by another russian private army.
Wagner is done for, and the French Foreign Legion are no slouches.
Ffl is just a normal french army unit
They are not some elite special forces
Didn’t France do pretty good in Mali in ‘13?
France should threaten to level their entire puny military if a single Frenchman is harmed, if they aren't cucks that is.
They did.
Not to OP's made up event, of course, but violent civilian protests did happen like a month ago and France made it clear the embassy was to be protected. The Nigerian army protected the embassy from the crowd.

Wagner's mastery of asymmetrical engagement, a mosaic of guile and precision, reshapes the landscape of conflict. It is in this domain of calculated mayhem that the true mettle of the French intervention shall be tested, and its worthiness shall falter in the wake of Wagner's unrelenting depth attack.

Isn't embassy is basically legally part of the country? And if so, isn't it's basically attack on France and by extention NATO?
Yes it is, but countries rarely use an embassy attack to go to war.
>And if so, isn't it's basically attack on France and by extention NATO?
In my list I've only included times nations have attacked US embassies. There's plenty of others where armed groups did the attacking, and it didn't lead to war, either.
Because the NATO treaty doesn't actually apply to Africa outside of the Algerian departments of France.
>Isn't embassy is basically legally part of the country?
Yes, but that only exists at the invitation of the host nation (and under certain conditions). Some (this is an operative word, please reread it and calm your tits if need be) could claim that the coup government telling them to leave and that they are no longer welcome was the conclusion of that invitation. France's reply is basically that they don't recognize their authority telling them that they are no longer welcome to be there.
There, now you understand the situtation.
>France's reply is basically that they don't recognize their authority telling them that they are no longer welcome to be there.

French here, I may be constantly warring against bongoloids and other francophobes, but that's really untrue. French forces are deficient. Only the nuclear forces are still relevant. I wish we used them to actually genocide browns by the way so they could finally tell the difference between what they accuse us of having done and what we could actually do.
>I wish we used them to actually genocide browns by the way so they could finally tell the difference between what they accuse us of having done and what we could actually do.
Start with Paris first please.
You aren't French.
Our specops and GCPs are great, bro. Rafale pilots and SNLE crews too. Everyone in the military world admits it around the world. But the rest of it... Well... We still have logistics capabilities and such, at least.
The foreign legion
Do they still have their emergency frog supply?
>does the French possess any kind of spec ops group for this kind of situation?
No we don't. Only you in the US ever figured about specops. Nobody else had the idea. All hail America, da best.
The legion will die, the french army will be taking losses for political retardation. jupiter will get voted in again. nothing to see here except wheeled tank kino. paris will still be a shithole and french rural fags will suffer.
This guy really was too smart for his own country.
The sad fate of well meaning reformers without the way to protect themselves. I wonder how many actually smart africans trying to make things right like this dude are rekt every year, holding back their countries.
It's even worse when you consider that Niger was doing better on the security front than Mali, despite being even poorer and in a worse geographical situation. Him and his predecessor's policies of integrating their ethnic various minorities instead of raping/killing them was working well (truly a mystery for the ages) but some generals decided Mali was the model to emulate and here we are.
It's fucking depressing.
This reads like a guy who was trying his best to move Niger forward.
Too bad, it seems, that certain people didn't want that to happen.
Just a paid french shill. Wants gibs to train army like every dictator, ever. "for my people" Yeah, right.
> i beg them to open our mines and buy our uranium
Come on now... It's not like France gets 50% of its energy from nuclear plants or anything.
>M-M-MUH URANIUM
Damn, I was waiting for that one.
>Come on now... It's not like France gets 50% of its energy from nuclear plants or anything.
The surest sign of the midwit brainlet is the ones considering that uranium is like oil.
Uranium makes up 5% of the cost of nuclear energy.
Niger was like 20% of French uranium.
France has YEARS of uranium in storage.
France could literally just buy more from Canada, Kazakhstan or even Australia and not feel the difference.
So far as i'm aware nuclear reactors are generally built to stringent specifications related to what Uranium is going into them. And different locations are going to have different specific mixes/age of the uranium which changes their efficiency
Niger provides raw uranium ore.
France does the enrichment.
>20% is A LOT, anon.
Not really when you have literal years to compensate with other providers.
There's a bunch of those anon.
>And it makes all the difference in a stagnated economy hit hard by its own "sanctions" along with other things. YEARS of uranium in storage means jack shit as we saw with their ammunition stockpiles that got depleted in just few months. And they're not even in active war, kek.
Now I'm sure you're just a massive retard. Holy shit.
What do you think is done with uranium anon?
> you have literal years to compensate with other providers
That's the thing. Because you're not alone in the world and everyone else wants to compensate with those very same "other providers". And the price jumps to record levels, just like gas price in autumn 2022.
So casually going about "we didn't need that anyway" is the actual retard take. Today you may not need it, or you can replace it for a price. But tomorrow? Will it be sustainable? Why burn your bridges and your strategic options?
Are you gonna prove that Niger shutting out France will significantly impact the price of Uranium?
>Because you're not alone in the world and everyone else wants to compensate with those very same "other providers".
moron. The ONLY client for Niger's uranium was FRANCE.
NOONE ELSE HAS TO COMPENSATE SHIT.
>But tomorrow? Will it be sustainable? Why burn your bridges and your strategic options?
There are still untapped deposits within France.
Greenies shut off uranium production within France but if ever there was a significant need that would drop fast.
You keep piling on retard takes onto retard takes when talking about uranium.
And as anon said
, Niger is but a fraction of the world production of uranium.
Just fucking stop it. Any post of yours regarding nuke or uranium is peak Dunning-Krueger syndrome.
Oh no what will France do without le moron yooraniooooom?
Surely it will freeze to death like Europe in 2022 due to the lack of roosian gas!
lmao this
Dumb zigger.
There are like 4 countries buying uranium on the international market, it's not like oil where you need it to fuel everything from a moped to a plane.
> I was waiting for that one.
Well, you got it. What was your plan after that?
> Niger was like 20% of French uranium.
Oh, so you play the retard card. Okay:
20% is A LOT, anon. And it makes all the difference in a stagnated economy hit hard by its own "sanctions" along with other things. YEARS of uranium in storage means jack shit as we saw with their ammunition stockpiles that got depleted in just few months. And they're not even in active war, kek.
>uranium is like ammunition
retard
that 20% will easily be replaced anyway and for cheaper since France was paying way above market rate as a favor
uranium exports were a good deal for Niger no matter how many lies and half-truths ziggers spread on the matter
>France was paying way above market rate as a favor
France is a good guy, honest! Anything else is zigger lies!!!1
You probably voted for Macaron, yes?
>France is a good guy, honest
No? France directly benefits from stability in the region (less refugees) and from thwarting ISIS growth (less domestic terrorism). Still a fact that they paid above market rate, which you don't tend to do when buying from a less reliable supplier. Will Russia buy it at all or will they get it for free after sending their convicts to serve as the junta's personal militia?
Le sarcasm
Stupid zigger poojet
>17%
Ah? Now uranium usage in a civilian electric production is the same as an artillery shell consumption in a WW1 style war?
You’re an idiot.
> WW1 style war
How about WW3 style war? With nukes. What do your stockpile arithmetic say about that option?
I honestly expect you to answer like a commie: why bother about things that will never happen.
Nukes are already built, retard. Which war would require France more than its 300 or so current warheads?
> Which war?
WW3, do you have reading comprehension issues or something?
> w-we have 300 warheads
That's not enough for the bongs alone, lol. Or do you expect some miracle 100% hit rate with unimaginable precision? We're talking about France, ffs.
>dude if you aren't glassing the entire countryside you don't have enough nukes lmao
what is counterforce
> what is counterforce
You tell me. What is it and does France possess it in year of our lord 2023?
Yes. Why wouldn't they?
Because they suck?
Looks like you've been milked of all substance anon. No need to project.
A WW3 nuke war is a burst of death, and contrary to Russia, all French nukes are maintained, functional and their missiles can launch and hit their targets accuratly.
Nukes are fusion H bombs, not 1945 Hiroshima uranium bombs.
Nukes take time to produce, active poduction in a nuclear war is irrelevant.
Plutonium is a side product of civilian nuclear electic plants, a polluant that needs to be removed from the uranium bars every few years. France happens to be a major actor in this industry, removing the plutonium of a good chuncks of the world’s nuclear plants for the past decades, especially from the French, German and Japanese plants. France got all the Plutonium it wants, and can make thousands of nukes with it.
> active production in a war is irrelevant
> b-but France can make thousands of nukes if it wants, honest
I trust you, bro. Calm down. France stronk, armed and functional. Totally not paper tiger, or paper cock (kek).
Active producion in nukes is irrelevant. You’ve already demonstrated your capacity to do it, you have the tech. Nuke weapons is 99.9% maintenance. France spends 6 billion euros every year maintaining its nukes and the associated vectors.
Making thousands of nukes like Russia, and then continue to produce more, while only having the capacity to maintain less warheads than France because of an anaemic tritium production is retarded like you.
>the country that gets 70% of its electricity through nuclear power can't ramp up nuke production
no, wait, you're serious!
80%
Uranium isn't oil, France has 30 years of stock, it takes next to no volume to stack it.
The real hard part with nuclear is enriching the uranium and France masters the process.

Honestly, now that I've seen that 55% of americans are against sending more weapons to Ukraine, I believe he is.

Things aren't great at home economically, so it's the optics game of spending billions abroad while housing affordability, healthcare, and child costs outstrip inflation year over year
>Things aren't great at home economically
Aside from full employment, good stock market gains, negative interest rates controlled, inflation brought down. Ah hyeah, they don;t teach economics much in Russia/Africa/Where ever the fuck you are spamming vatmoron talking points from. Or are you a fucking moscow quisling communist cheerleading for Russia and spamming for it? Get the fuck off this board.

Anon, I'm somewhere in the western states, watching everyone in my friend group struggle to buy a starter home in my state and any of the neighboring states, while not being an hour plus drive away from jobs. My concerns come from direct practical experience alongside data.
Is unemployment down? Yes. Is that a cure-all? No. Is the economy the number one issue among voters? Yes.
Also,
>good stock market gains
Lol.
Both things can be true though. It can be true that economic conditions in the US aren't super peachy keen and retards can then be whipped into chimping about any kind of spending involving numbers bigger than they can imagine as a result while still also being true that the amount of money that has been spent on Ukraine is not a mite on a moles ass compared to anything else the government spends money on. Blame the decline of critical thinking skills and the rise of the 24 hour news cycle for that one.
>Both things can be true though. It can be true that economic conditions in the US aren't super peachy keen and retards can then be whipped into chimping about any kind of spending
Yes, which is why I said
>the optics game
People are not complaining about you blaming optics, people have taken an issue with
>Things aren't great at home economically
Especially after an year of fearmongering and anti-US shilling by the usual suspects.
>Things aren't great at home economically
6% GDP growth is fucking stellar for a developed economy.
>6% GDP growth is fucking stellar for a developed economy.
Fuck, if that keeps up for 9-10 years that doubles the economy, it's insane growth for a developed country
The only problem with the US economy are all the people blatantly trying to undermine it.
A lot of them lost hundreds of billions combined over it but they still keep going, so you can't even excuse them with greed - it's pretty clear that it's a coordinated attack - and one that many of our politicians are collaborating with.
And anons on PrepHole were naively claiming that a year of propaganda won't switch public opinion. The average normie has zero idea what's going on at home, let alone in a war in Europe. All they know is what they are told by normie media.
"Libs" and "conservatives" both believe they have to concede, but in different areas. For "libs" it's making overtures to minority groups over the majority, positive discrimination.
For "conservatives" it's making these limp wristed foreign policy overtures to your imperial rival and relenting a zone of influence, despite the rival having the same scruples as the liberal hawk.
It's reactionary conchudism as its worst
> 3% of the US military budget
Consider the following:
2 trillions $ less buying power due to 8% inflation in the USA for 2022 alone (give or take, calculated for 25 trillions GDP).
Printers go brrrr, etc, etc. The entire affair in Afghanistan cost 2 trillions for 20 years. But the inflation then was less than 1% per year. Do you feel the difference?
>55% of americans are against sending more weapons to Ukraine
I don't believe this. Post source. You're either wrong or its some incredibly dumbass phrasing on the survey question.
Nta, https://www.cnn.com/2023/08/04/politics/cnn-poll-ukraine/index.html
>Overall, 55% say the US Congress should not authorize additional funding to support Ukraine vs. 45% who say Congress should authorize such funding. And 51% say that the US has already done enough to help Ukraine while 48% say it should do more.
There are subcategories and demographic splits, e.g. there's broad support for continuing to provide military advisement and intelligence, but there's a split on weapons.
Yeah, so the question is about "funding" which obviously people have concerns about. Its been an issue since day 1 of the war and with countless other countries prior to that. Writing large cash checks (the impression) to other countries while people domestically are suffering is obviously a populist thorn.
More whining vatmoron bullshit posting. Stuff your head up your ass and fuck off.
You are a complete schizo. Tilt at some other windmill.
Don't post whining vatmoron bullshit talking points and maybe anons won't think you're a whining vatmoron then.
Hey, Quixote, I told you, you're gonna have to seek your giants elsewhere. I'm not interested.
>(impression)
>populist thorn
>wording
>etc.
rest assured that everyone but the resident retard understood you to be dismissive of the stat's significance. there are one or two sad, socially stunted anons who seemingly only post here to shittalk about the war and whose kink is being combative and accusing everyone of being Z. since no one is this consistently incapable of reading tone or willing to be disingenuous without an ulterior motive, the only explanations that track imo are personal gratification (fun for him to engage) and idle hope, magical thinking almost, that accusing obviously indifferent and anti-russian parties of being pro-russian will drive some people to take the pro-russian stance out of spite. the latter being deeply retarded logic that can only make sense to a contrarian who believes nothing deeply enough to matter anyway...
It's very believable. Most of the country is conpletely ignorant of foreign affairs and all Republicans are against Ukraine now because they're against everything Biden does. Which means everyone is bombarded with propaganda bragging about how great it is we're sending so much aid or how terrible it is we're sending so much aid. It comes together as being too much aid.
You vastly overestimate the actual vaule of the public opinion.
See GWOT even with a 20% approval rating and democrats running on a pull out now platform with obama sweeping into office literally nothing changed and then he actually increased dronings.
Americans love something Hate something then forget about it.
People really underestimate our politicans ability to forget every election promise on nov 8th or ignore the public.
Episode 100 of southpark explains this well.
This is just like my heckin comedy central original series.

They sometimes are. See the Battle of Kolwezi.
Why don't they just leave?

Time for Black hawk down 2.0
Is it really pronounced the French way "nigh-jurr" or is that just an excuse for white people to use so they don't feel bad about calling an entire country "moron?"
I thought it would be a colonial name, and so therefore the French name would be right because it was their colony, but it's actually named after a river and the name of the river does seem to suggest the country should be called "moron". Or "Nee-Gear", at the very least.
