Stand back, this could get messy.

Just curious, why do so many Russian translations to English look like a random note made from cut out magazine clippings with different fonts and font sizes?

Yes, they're talking about the current ongoing operations by the separatist battalions in the Belgorod region. There's not a whole lot to go on, but the separatists have published a claim regarding their battle results while the Russians insist they killed them all four or five times already.

what do these separatists want to separate from Russia, exactly?

plus, France's "post-colonial interests" in Africa are under threat by targeted Russian political actions.
It's probably an easy sell. France and Belgium were real shits as colonial powers.

The French governors were criminals in it to steal everything they could in the five years before reassignment.

The independent leaders are criminals in it to steal everything they could in the five years before the next coup.

The Russian security assistance will be criminals in it to steal everything they can in the five years before they're recalled to invade Estonia.

They are not separatists, they are russian volunteers serving in Ukranian army. Currently conduct some sort of operation in Belgorod region.

Not sure what's so hard to understand about the screenshot. A belgorod based telegram channel complains that info about fighting in their region is ignored by major news, belgorodians who post about it are being suppressed and blocked, comments deleted or branded as Ukranian information warfare.

Idk why macron is doing the maybe troop posturing which I think is stupid.

He recently gave a measured reminder that France does have nooks and notably hasn't been invaded by a hostile power in a while, which I believe was directed at discourse from internal both sides dipshits, far right assholes and 'genocide is actually peace ' idiots.
He also leaked a call with Putin where he surprisingly calls out putins bullshit in a clear and direct way.

Macron is a profoundly stupid person. He's always making the Tucker Carlson face when he thinks he needs to look serious.

I'm not sure of this exact case, but other translation apps use different size fonts to maintain word placement and lines in their pre translation places

This classic photo is great but leaves out the fact at the bottom of the shelves off to the bottom right is an iron shelf full of cacti, which is what you would hit if you fell down the stairs and didn't crash through the window like a western movie.

Oh. I thought I read that Ukraine denied any involvement in what's going on. Although now that I'm thinking about it a little more, it makes a lot of sense for them to say that they're not involved.

They are denying it with a wink. Everyone involved understands what's really happening.

You could even call it satire of Russia's denial of the 2014 Donbas invasion when Russia denied any involvement and instead pushed stories about some plucky little separatists who are defending themselves with old Soviet hardware they found laying around and things they plundered from a WW2 museum.

French or whatever troops being invited in to Ukraine to conduct peaceful exercises that involve manning the posts opposite Belarus and all the rear security in the west frees up Ukrainian soldiers that can be shifted to the east, which makes at least some sense.

Not that it's happening, but that is a reason to do it.
