French President Emmanuel Macron responded to the Russian army's overnight shelling of Ukraine by noting that Russia "has once again shown that it does not truly share the desire for peace" and expressed "full support" for the Ukrainian people.
This is pointless if you feel so entitled defending an imperialistic nation just for the sake of being against the West then please keep that crap on your instance.
You. You’re trying to change the subject from russia to France in order to defend an imperialistic country. Which is what you often do. You’re in like every other thread that’s criticizing russia or china
Well, in this thread, as it’s been already pointed out, you’ve engaged in whataboutism to change the subject from russia to France. It’s only a small step above a kid’s “NO YOU!” level of argumentation.
Is France’s imperialistic history deplorable? Yes. But by the end of the year they will have pulled out from all but 2 countries with which they had defense agreements, as opposed to russia which is increasing presence in the same countries, in addition to the countries in which it already had a presence. So it’s actually russia that has potentially more troops in Africa, but I can’t find actual numbers to confirm since it’s in russia’s best interest not to declare those.
So yeah, how can you compare a country that leaves when it’s uninvited to russia which is actively shelling a sovereign nation on top of doing the same shit in Africa as all the other imperialists?

What is the post talking about Russia or France?

I’m glad you asked!
Defending China saying that allegations of Genocide are just lies
Defending Russia’s ludacris negotiation demands
Defending North Korea
Stalin wasn’t that bad of a guy
Standard ableism about Soviet Russia
I could keep going all day. You don’t strike me as a bad type but I cannot allow utter rubbish to be thrown around like that.
The world is not as simple as US/West bad Russia/China good or vice versa. There is a significant amount of nuance that you need to find here.
