France withdrawals troops from Mali.
Sacrebleu!

Time to go home and live with the Africans there.
beau travail. the pied-noir will be proper fucked.
The US withdrew from Afghanistan to start s war in Ukraine. What's next for France?
France is running out of options. I bet they put peacekeepers in Ukraine after negotiating concessions to Russia which coincides with US consessions to Iran and China. Oil prices in the US/EU fall and the teetering old man economies of the West surive in their welfare States for another twenty to fifty years and maybe become more competitive with imported cheap immigrant labor. For France this means deep burdens and long lost is the people who could birth a Renaissance. Most likely she keeps her loveless marriage with Germany while gazing wistfully on what little US/UK gaymarriage has then dies of old age one day.
What the fuck were they doing in Mali in the first place?
Le withdrawals d'alcohol?
Because they helped destroyed Libya.
"The trouble began when hundreds of Malian combatants who had fought to defend the late Libyan leader, Muammar Gaddafi, fled back home with weapons at the end of last year and formed the most powerful Tuareg-led rebel group the region has known - the Azawad National Liberation Movement (MNLA)."
Most Republicans align perfectly with her foreign policy. I wonder why they hate her so much.
many of the republicans you count are cold warriors that see clearly the US is losing. these people are allies in opposing fucking around in africa. because it's a shittier vietnam to fight over. but we had a vision in the pentagon's new map. worked for israel/turkey/NATO. dubious US interests except gun running and that goon that died.
Okay but Libya was 11 years ago. Why did they stay in Mali for years?
Gold?
Must be something like that. All the "explanations" (including by French anons on here) I've read as to why France is in Mali, were pants on head retarded and made no sense at all.
Maybe it just got dumped on the French because they decided to jump onboard with the US plan for regime change in Libya.
Sex tourism. Opération Bleach
western postcolonialism and related sectarian conflict. the darfur region's instability has spilled out all over and there are a lot of warlords which various special forces and western light infantry spend time fighting under war on terror doctrine (warlords and victims exist of various religions and notional terror ties mostly related to smuggled weapons).
France giving up as usual
