What's going on with all these African interventions that France is involved in? I assume they are protecting some business interests/resource extractions?

To be part of Italy? some want autonomy, kind of like tahiti or new caledonia, others outright independence. both movements have united recently and have been gaining elections on the island. also trumpy said yes https://twitter.com/BraddJaffy/status/880075784362352640

Belgium and the UK had extensive African colonial empires too, but none of them are running a shitton of military bases all over the place and getting involved in wars all the time.(I mean outside of UN missions)

Meet Françafrique, France last shot at maintaining the delusion that it was still an empire, even if it meant having to rearm the fleeing Hutu génocidaires in Rwanda.

I'm sure Macron has another brutal own lined up for Trump and he is saving it for when the whole country will be watching. My money is on a nipple cripple or Chinese burns.

The article posted back then included he claimed it was a violation of laicité because the yellow stars on blue is apparently used in specific religious paintings? Or something?

She's been elected to the Assemblée Nationale, but her group there is so small (8 members) that she can't get a commission presidency. It's been pretty quiet on the faf front, except for the melodrama when daddy Le Pen showed up for a meeting of the party's directorate only to find the doors literarlly chained up to prevent his entrance.

Thanks for a good OP. As an "expat" in Belgium, the europol thread has been a good source during the election, here's to more of that. Deltasquid posted:Hahaha. Okay, good. I hope she gets to sit the next years out in the shadows and keeps upsetting her dad. Yeah, she's back in her box for 5 more years. She'll be on the front page from time to time, when she comes up with something outrageous enough, or when an FN mayor does something stupid again. Or you know, if she gets convicted for her EU shenanigans...

It might be the only way for both of them to exist politically for 5 years, a good case of mutually assured publicity. Meluche has already started with the "say stupid poo poo to get some attention" plan anyway. Can we get the guys from Fiscal Kombat to make a new game ? Call it Assemblée Fighters Vth Republic, you can chose between all minority leaders to fight to the death in front of journalists. In the background, a horde a faceless suits are busy burning union leaders at the stake using copies of the Code du travail as kindling.
