    Actually attacking a French embassy in northwestern or central africa is possibly the quickest possible way to go from 'fuck around' to 'find out'.

        Are you aware there were no more casualties during the Tongo Tongo ambush simply because americans called the french to the rescue?
        2 Mirage 2000C did shows of force but could not engage the enemy because they couldn't tell who was who on the ground, although these jets as well as a pair of Tiger attack helicopters protecting a few Puma and Caracal helis that took the injured back to base, were decisive in calming things down.
        Are you aware a US military official commented
        >if it had not been for the french we would have lost everybody
        So yeah, the nigériens are welcome to try to stir up shit.
        They want to change the president? Fine, there are elections for this. Until then, they're not the majority, and they're not legitimate. Especially when the police is attacking crowds of protesters who support president Bazoum while letting other crowds who support the coup roam freely and threaten the french embassy, and soon enough, the french nationals too. You'll see.

        If France leaves Niger it will be on its own terms, and everybody who disagrees is a bitchassgay with a big mouth but an extremely small dick who's welcome to find out.

            French forces literally came to the rescue of american and nigérien SF guys with jets helicopters and special forces, then participated to the bitter end to the SAR then retrieval of the last american fighters, and you perfectly know this.

              i said "as i recall it" and linked you directly to my point of reference for the incident, you fucking sperg. your utterly spastic response is telling.

              allied airpower showing up eventually is good, obviously, but it's par for the course and expected. the fact of the matter is that nobody's aviation mattered because the morons on the ground were so disorganized that they didn't even call for support until long after it would have been possible to scramble CAS while the firefight was still happening.

              the ones who survived seemingly survived because they put the swamp between them and the attacking force. obviously if you're the pursuing party of dudes with AKs in this situation, you expect to be erased by air support as soon as you stop moving for more than a minute or two. i assume they wouldn't have known that US drone was unarmed, or that the US boots were fucking morons who destroyed their radios.

              ?&t=9m

              tongo tongo isn't a story about anyone's forces being saved by anybody else's. it's just blatant incompetence resulting in a negative outcome.

                they stopped a column and dismounted in response to harrassing fire, with no ability to call in air support or an arty fire mission making it even more fucking stupid than the prototypically incompetent generation kill / capt america incident.

                they then repeatedly broke cover and split up like teenagers in a horror movie from the 70s til eventually a good chunk of them were slaughtered for no good reason whatsoever.

                the firefight was long over before aircraft with combat loads could arrive, and those craft were unable to perform basic IFF tasks because the guys on the ground had fucked the situation so thoroughly.

                no amount of autistic fanboy screeching from you changes that. "if the roles were blah" no moron, i don't give a single fuck about you, thinking about you, or france. american-led forces will be unfucking france's messes in west africa for the rest of the century. you'll have plenty of time to feel humiliation at france's state of military affairs, if that's what you're after. and i'll spare no sleep for 85iq dipshits who got gunned down next to a joshua tree in moron during the gwot because they didn't know how to plan an op, drive a car, or use a glorified walkie-talkie.

                goes without saying that a culture of criticism and not fellating every asshole who got ventilated so you don't reinforce failure are both concepts that go completely out the window upfront for frogs. they're really just imperialist-lite morons.

                shit happens. but fucking around and finding out is the law of the jungle and american SOF is certainly experienced enough on the whole to respect that. these guys didn't respect it. they did essentially everything they possibly could wrong, making every unforced error when their best option was simply to drive away. that the pred or whatever it was, was unarmed might have been a policy thing, but that too was clearly an oversight.

                Well, anon, that's only partly true. For instance in the movie Black Hawk Down, the pakistani are portrayed, near the end. They appear in one scene driving french made VAB 6x6 and in another a pakistani soldier scolds one of the americans telling him he'll move once he receives the order to do so, or something along these lines, if I recall correctly. Then at the end of the movie some pakistani bring tea to american soldiers.
                The movie was filmed in Morroco which uses VAB 6x6, which explains why these APCs were present, but they were supposed to depict another type of armor involved in the evacuation, however I don't know which ones as I haven't studied the matter thoroughly. Maybe the malaysian Condor APC which looks a bit alike?

                What's your nationality so I can laugh? There's 99.99% chances the french have done infinitely more good to the whole world than all of your people's ancestors combined.

                it's customary to express humility and shower gratitude on your allies when they help you in a tight spot. the french responded with available assets as soon as they reasonably could. nowhere have i suggested otherwise or that their response was inadequate.

                you seem to be someone who struggles with the notion that doing something like saying
                "you really saved my ass, boss" to someone who flew you out of a hellhole – but not necessarily under fire, and without even being your workplace supervisor!! – is not meant to convey factual analysis. it is meant to convey sentiment. it costs nothing and you would be a miserable fucking ingrate not to do it, regardless of whether you might have had other exfil options.

                not understanding what "without the french we'd be toast, RIP [knife slicing throat motion]" signifies in context is a very basic failure to grasp how human interactions and command obligations of partner forces work. the obligation to provide praise does not fucking hinge on whether the statement is /literally/ true. holy shit

                Just stop it anon, your hypocrisy levels can only go so far, more of it and they're going to collapse on themselves, creating a black hole.
                It was mentioned in the reports, despite these playing down the role of the french, that the engagement CEASED THE MOMENT THE MIRAGE FIGHTERS DID A SHOW OF FORCE.
                So now the french should have been under intense fire to have in your mind the right to pretend to be part of the thing?
                Sorry we still haven't invented the fucking teleporter to send boots on the ground instantly across hundreds of miles of terrain.

                He will be upset if he finds out that George Washington's Continental Army would have lost the Revolutionary War if we did not have French support.

                That is completely factual so why would I be upset? There were more french soldiers at Yorktown than american minutemen, more french casualties than american ones, and yet many murrican historians have tried to downplay this which is insanely funny.

                wait hold up. lemme get this straight.

                2. you think it's uncharitable and super damning if anyone characterises the french involvement in ANY way that you deem less that IDENTICAL to your rendition of how it should be drafted, yet

                >the fact that you didn't fucking send it to me, or

                Well, anon, that's only partly true. For instance in the movie Black Hawk Down, the pakistani are portrayed, near the end. They appear in one scene driving french made VAB 6x6 and in another a pakistani soldier scolds one of the americans telling him he'll move once he receives the order to do so, or something along these lines, if I recall correctly. Then at the end of the movie some pakistani bring tea to american soldiers.
                The movie was filmed in Morroco which uses VAB 6x6, which explains why these APCs were present, but they were supposed to depict another type of armor involved in the evacuation, however I don't know which ones as I haven't studied the matter thoroughly. Maybe the malaysian Condor APC which looks a bit alike?

                it's customary to express humility and shower gratitude on your allies when they help you in a tight spot. the french responded with available assets as soon as they reasonably could. nowhere have i suggested otherwise or that their response was inadequate.

                you seem to be someone who struggles with the notion that doing something like saying
                "you really saved my ass, boss" to someone who flew you out of a hellhole – but not necessarily under fire, and without even being your workplace supervisor!! – is not meant to convey factual analysis. it is meant to convey sentiment. it costs nothing and you would be a miserable fucking ingrate not to do it, regardless of whether you might have had other exfil options.

                not understanding what "without the french we'd be toast, RIP [knife slicing throat motion]" signifies in context is a very basic failure to grasp how human interactions and command obligations of partner forces work. the obligation to provide praise does not fucking hinge on whether the statement is /literally/ true. holy shit

            It doesnt tho, you have to understand ISIS is a franchise like McDonalds. Various islamist militant groups in west Africa have been giving allegiance (bayah) to ISIS since 2015, hell they recently gave bayah to the new caliph. Sure they arent core ISIS out of syria but just like any franchise theyve recieved funding and manpower from corporate, where so you think ISIS libya went anon? Also ISIS corporate frequently intervenes in the organization and planning of the local groups, as was best seen with the whole ISWAP power struggle and sidelining of Abu Bakr Shekhau for an emir more closely associated with ISIS central (and less batshit). Taking away local agency from these groups because "muh cia mossad plot theyre just goat herders" is the most retarded thing you can do, these people have local and serious grievances with the central government, they have been in arms since the mid 2000s and now ISIS can offer them the most because by God the french or americans or ruskies wont help a random minority like the tuaregs, you have to realize all of these insurgencies were ethnonationalist in nature up until the 2010s when they were rightfully radicalized because of the central governments retarded policies.

        Sounds like France is about to be humiliated in another country. After getting kicked out of Mali and Burkina Faso, it's about to shit the bed hard in Niger. Cut off from water and power, trapped inside an embassy, probably can't even ride the car outside with security.

          If africans want to keep blaming France, they must have reasons to do so, and therefore stop blocking France from dealing with Africa's problems ESPECIALLY AFTER THEY CALLED FRANCE TO THE RESCUE IN THE FIRST PLACE. Or else they will have to agree to take the blame as djihadists conquer their shitholes, and to forget about fleeing to France afterwards once it has happened.

              certain countries like panama, liberia, marshall islands are the big "open registries" for naval vessels. you can fly the flag of those countries by registering with them. for a bit of fun, look up where the HQs of their maritime authorities are all located. they're basically all in office parks within a couple dozen miles of each other in virginia.

              that wall essentially does exist as a natural geological feature, and it's just oceans on 3 sides plus a thin peninsular chokepoint across egypt. if not for US navy-led enforcement of pax americana on the high seas, i imagine a bunch of a hotspots around the gulf of guinea and greater horn region would be constantly subjected to coastal raiders seeking short-term conquest (in times of relative state-cohesion) and piracy (in times of state collapse). israel/syria and india/pakistan feel like acceptable near-contemporary parallels, in terms of major armed conflicts whose naval warfare was characterised by largely green-water engagements.

    lol the French have done so much more good in the region in regards to countering drug trafficking in the Sahel than almost anybody else.
    Thinking any pmc or corrupt government military units would fight the spread of drugs into Europe is like thinking the Russian border guard units of Tajikistan prevented the spread of heroin in Russia in the last 30 years.
    There is going to be an inevitable rise in narco related crimes and health issues including
    kidnappings, massacres, and rising HIV rates while local pmcs and local government units take home numerous paydays because they're funded by third world shitholes that ousted the few non bribable counter units.
    Being against French counter operations is equivalent to being anti western European health.

        I haven't heard anybody say that. I have heard people here say that the CIA has trafficked cocaine for clandestine profits, which is controversial but has some evidence. We do know as an ironclad fact that individuals who were helping the Contras were involved in some drug trafficking at that time, per the Kerry Committee report.

          Oh yeah, I totally think dumbass stuff like the Contra affair was real. I just think it's ridiculous to believe that all the cartels in Mexico are because the CIA masterminded them, and not, you know, because Mexico has been in chaos since it's foundation, Latin America has a hug drug trade, and the US consumes all that cocaine.

          But I've seen a lot of people pushing that idea on different threads at least today. Sounds like an old conspiracy theory, but maybe it's a new one.

          Really I wish our government was that good at it's job that it could singlehandedly orchestrate the Latin-American drug trade. Maybe they could also do things like say give schools more funding, that would be neat.

        I mean it's pretty well known that the CIA had their fingers in the cocaine trade in the past; it only makes sense that they'd still be involved in their traditional shenanigans.If someone claimed they were behind Chinese fentanyl that would be one thing, but in terms of socioeconomic impact stateside cocaine is small potatoes these days.
