    In the end all that matters is does Nigeria want to fight this war or not. They’re the ones that’ll be paying for it in blood and treasure. France is a sidenote. They’re not going to die over this.

      France about to depose a military coup? Recall this is the junta that deposed Niger’s president that is claiming France is going to invade.

          If the end goal of either side isnt the redistribution of the countries wealth, increasing health, education and housing programs then they can both get fucked

          Yeah, fully admit all I really know is that the deposed president was democratically elected, that the military junta was not, that Russia is suspected of BS, and that the migrant issue is potentially involved.

          The first one is the important one to me, that its a Ecowas sanctioned military dictatorship making the claim that Ecowas is going to invade with France’s help.

            The thing is europe and the west in general is bleeding africa of it’s ressources and even though it topples a democraticly elected president the goal they claim is to free themselves of postcolonialism wich could be very good for africa. But yeah always hard to know woch side tells the truth…

            Just one change and you’ve got Ukraine.

                So the Nazi military junta that seized power in Ukraine was democratically elected? Is that what you’re trying to tell me?

                Or that the illegally ousted president was never democratically elected?

                Explain yourself.

            Not so simple when everyone in the country instantly started chanting that the coup liberated them from french influence and protesting at our embassies

            Awaiting proper stats but just asking people in the streets what they think about it all tells a different story about the previous regime

            wonder why the downvote, we sure would like to thing that there’s a bad and a good one, much easier, but most nation are acting for their own profit first, not by pure heart
