Why France is Actually Preparing for War With Russia 

Attempting to learn from your commentary after you been a clown for 2 years isn't really trustworthy

I’m still very shocked that most leaders still continue proxy wars due to a massive influence of Cold War proxies.

​@@devildogu1284what do you mean?

Okay man, I know that what I will write won't be well received in the comments, but please listen to me. I'm not a french troll or a french nationalist (far from it even), but since I'm working in this fields I must say that I am really disappointed with this video. You talked about Françafrique (which is good) but then vomited all the basic stupid russian propaganda that you could find on this subject. No nuance, no counterpoint, no points that well respected medias and organizations in the area would be saying, just blatant old-ass propaganda used by the military juntas in the region. Disappointing from you. Even Reddit threads on this subject would be better made... You could have talked about Bolloré practices in the region (but since you didn't worked on this subject seriously you probably don't even who he is), but no here come the almost conspirationist FRANCE CONTROLS AFRICA BRRRR. This video is dangerous because you feed russian trolls rethoric and shameless anti-western sentiment. Do better.

Please make a video about Can you make a video about communism in Romania 🇷🇴 and Moldova 🇲🇩 and Transnistria conflict.

As a Tunisian, i have known the enormous influence of France in the Sahel and most of the subsaharian countries for decades. It has never been a secret that nobody was allowed to invest in those countries if it wasn't a French company.

classic european , acting like they don't know that they were exploiting others and then lecture others about the equality and humanity ,stop your sympathy baiting .

Lol it’s because you guys are willfully ignorant 😂

Even other NATO states helping you in Africa. I am Czech and know about few operations we helped French soldiers in Sahel. But nobody care about that. Media dont care about that and normies dont even know that area even exist.

@@al-muwaffaq341 Being willfully ignorant is better than being proud of colonizing North Africa like you Arabs did

Yeah and the Russians will be selling them their light bulbs and then stealing them back again

This video is anti-French propaganda. It's just pathetic.

@@AlexanderMichelsonIt checks out 100% with other historic reports actually, whether you like it or not. Even The French former PM- 'Mitterand' said their duplicitous brutal actions & exploitation in B.F, Niger, & Chad etc were indeed ''just pathetic.'' & couldn't last.

​@@AlexanderMichelsonTell that to Haiti. Imagine asking your slaves to buy their freedom while claiming slavery is wrong

There is little that Americans care about less than African politics.

@@therealuncleowen2588 Americans in general suck at geography despite the country being involve with tons of countries outside its borders.

@@therealuncleowen2588 Unfortunately, this is true of a good chunk of America (and it's not really confined to any party or region, either). Education here regarding both history and geopolitics is extremely lacking and does not seem to be getting any better. Before this last year, I could not have told you anything more than very common historical knowledge (e.g. the Civil War or the two World Wars)- about a country I have lived in since I was born. It's sad to see how much I've missed, and how many things I've fundamentally misunderstood about history- and given I was always very interested in these subjects, I can't help but wonder how badly people who _aren't_ into history or geopolitics misunderstand and misrepresent things.

Because it is out of context partial truth BS...

@@MN-vz8qm If you are not going to say why, then don't call it bullshit

We’re going to need a whole lot of videos…

Maybe the real US involvement were the friends we made along the way?

Alot of that is unofficial CIA shenanigans - tough research. The Noriega mixtape could be the background music, gently but incessently playing throughout the entire video🤣

I agree

Us involvement in Mexico would be interesting, this presidency is the first non puppet us presidency and because of that Mexico is growing like crazy

The issue of this video is that it mixes old events from the colonial and francafrique period, with current events. Hence his conclusions on current french politics are stupid.

@@MN-vz8qmand the same goes for you user name being stupid 🫠

There are plenty of books talking about it ...

Because that is BS...

@@loeffelm I understand the concept of books and where to find them, thanks. From a foreign perspective in France and starting from a low information level, it's hard to get a general idea about what's going on with certain topics without reading 17 books by French geopolitics authors who love the sound of their own ideas more than they love the air they breath. This type of quality educational material is rare from sources in French at this time.

@@cameronmclennan942 Glad you understand the concept of books. You can look for books from Xavier Harel or François-Xavier Verschave. The Françafrique subject is quite something. Nevertheless, France - just like Russia - is only defending its own interests, nothing shocking here. Also, this video implies France’s economy is heavily relying on its former colonies which is absolutely non-sense, look at the figures!!

​@@cameronmclennan942you seriously just watched a RU-vid video without any sources and believed everything ?

That’s some Wild West stuff right there. Glad cooler heads prevailed.

The issue of this film is that it mixes old events from the colonial and francafrique period, with current events. The world has changed since.

because its not in english natively probably

@@MN-vz8qm The state of our world today is a direct result of what was. If you're going to properly understand the context and scope of current events you MUST understand what led to them. In this case, it's French colonialism.

@@circusjanitor OMG are you slow? Indeed one needs the past to understand the present, but that is not the issue here. The thesis of the person who made this video is that France is CURRENTLY a colonial power. As for understanding the past, maybe you should take a look at what west africa was when the french came late 19th century... a few words; slavery, mass human sacrifices, cannibalism, constant tribal wars, extremely low life expectancy. Because of the colonization, teh african demography has exploded, which should tell everything there is to tell about what it was and its results. As for what the french got from it? Easy, because France has kept all senate archives, which show that Africa was a huge financial burden for France.

@@MN-vz8qm no way you're calling me slow and in the same breath trying to justify colonialism as a moral good and a net benefit for Africans💀 further proof that education does not equal intelligence. I'd hope I wouldn't have to point out needing to understand the past to understand the present-- seems like a pretty simple concept. But you're first comment was so dense I was afraid you didn't know

You people just think your economic prosperity just came out of thin air

Be careful, double-check the sources.. RealLifeLore is known to present a lot of false/inaccurate information.

bro have you never wondered why so many africans come to france? because they are exploited by the french government

Stop watching TF1 , they won't report it

Probably because it's not "entirely" true 😂

I don't feel so bad about the African migrant invasion of Europe now. Europe is exploiting the continent.

And it also greatest producer of enriched uranium, that is actually used in nuclear power-plants. With a little help of Russia, holding a monopoly to a cheap enriching process. So if it someday decide to not fulfil French desire for nuclear electricity, than France will collapse. OFC they will not do it, as it undermine their trust, but...

thank you for sharing your story, it s all new to me and it helps to understand this video if people like you give examples from their own lives. Thank you

Gbagbo had lost the election and tried to remain in power. The international community recognized Ouattara as the winner and so did the independant commission. Other countries have left the franc cfa, why would we stage anything against them for that ?

African Always playing victims, I can tell you a story about my family under phosphorus bombing of my city (le Havre) during WWII by "allies". Or the story of my friends hit by a mortar shell in his village during Bosnian war while he was 16, perpetrated by Serbs (backed by Russia). This world is cruel. Where are you living now?

@@Kamfrenchie First of, there’s no such thing as an “international community”. This term refers to a minority of western powers who impose their will on countries that they’d like to control. The 2011 election of Gagbo was validated by the constitutional court of the country. Please go watch Nickola Sarkozy’s speech in which he states “we removed Gbagbo to install Alassane Dramane Ouattara” who has done nothing but represent the interests of France not only in Ivory Coast but all throughout west Africa. But let’s assume that Gbagbo did steal the election. What right does the French government has to drop bombs on the presidential palace of a sovereign country to remove its sitting President? Can you imagine an African nation bombing the white house to remove Joe Biden because Donald Trump said he won the election even after all the courts and institutions said he lost? By the way, the so called international community had nothing to say when ADO flagrantly violated the constitution which limits presidential terms to 2, to get elected for a 3rd term with over 94%. This is not some distant history. This happened in 2020 and he’s currently getting ready to run for a 4th term in 2025. We’ll be waiting to hear from Macron. Lastly, the fact that you would question why France would stage anything against a country looking to leave the Franc CFA tells me you still have a lot of research to do. The video clearly explains how France flooded Guinea with fake currencies when it dared leave the Franc CFA. But I’m not gonna bore with the countless examples from the past. I’ll give you current ones. Did you know that Macron and ADO sank the ECO currency that was supposed to replace the Franc CFA back in 2020? Did you know that Macky Sall (Senegal’s President) and France pull out all the tricks in the books to stop the candidacy of Ousmane Sonko because he said he would leave the Franc CFA and ask French troops to leave his country if he became President? Every single thing I laid out can be independently verified. But of course, there’s none so blind as they that won’t see. God bless.

@@victor7143 sorry that happened to you and your friends but me explaining why Africans are rising up against France’s neocolonialism is not playing victim. Playing victim would be complaining about it without taking actions. We’re doing the opposite. France or any other nation looking to exploit us will be systematically ejected out of every single African territory.

we also train with Romania, and make deals with India and Pacific

And countries like Armenia are currently really happy to get rid of Russia as Russia did the same to those countries as the French did to the African countries.

Defensive pacts and economic deals is one thing. Russia send in mercenaries and armed/funded militants to overthrow governments to be able to pillage assets for themselves. It would be equivalent to France sending in mercenaries and funding militants to overthrow pro Russian puppet government in Belarus. I am sure Russia would have no problem with this.....

​@@rinho1790are they? I run a course on former USSR states since 2011. any state breaking up from Russia in that region goes down economically. EU has free trade agreement with Moldova, Georgia and Ukraine. these countries are competing for poorest in Europe title. nobody needs their produce in EU. Latvia, Litva, Estonia after joining EU lost 50% of their population and 90% of their industries.

@@rinho1790 Nope... You no idea what France has done to our people in Africa. Stop!

​@@kakpraat18What he means is that they can switch the flag to make a russian or a french one in Africa

​@@JeanFoutre-yi5usI saw this now.

No, the white needs to be at the top, not the middle.

they can leave whenever they want, France is itself in a monnetary union and we don't say the same thing while the goal is the same, the more countries the stabler the money, which for those africans countries is quite important because they have other problems to deal with

​@@leboucfou5834rubbish. The african leaders in power are all french puppets. Every time a leader tries to quit the franc cfa he is removed swiftly

I am not defending and will not defend the CFA system. I just want to point out that, among the many problems these countries have, hyperinflation (a-la Argentina, Venezuela, or Zimbawe) is NOT one of them.

Crusty dollars

​​@@ricardokowalski1579 because they CAN'T have inflation, obviously hyperinflation cannot be a problem that's like saying an leg-amputated man should be grateful that it would not have leg cramps

C'est la différence entre la Chine et la Russie, la 1ère investit pour échanger et avantager son économie quand la 2e pille les ressources et commet des crimes de guerre. Les chinois sont moins bourrins et plus mercantiles.

@@cyberslan Comment n'avez-vous pas honte de parler des actions de la Russie! La quasi-totalité de ses réserves d'or, à 85%, les pays africains sont tenus de détenir physiquement en France sous le contrôle de la banque Centrale française. Les pays africains n'ont pas le droit d'utiliser plus de 15% de cet argent et s'ils en ont besoin, ils sont obligés d'emprunter leur propre argent à la France à des taux commerciaux! Sur cela, la France "gagne" 500 milliards de dollars par an! Les pays africains continuent de payer à la France ce qu'on appelle la «taxe coloniale». C'est officiel. Pour comprendre l'ampleur de cette "taxe": selon les estimations de la République togolaise, elle représente 40% du budget du pays! Il s'agit de l'argent que chaque pays verse chaque année à la France pour qu'elle ne soit pas traitée comme une Guinée dans laquelle les français ont détruit toutes les écoles, hôpitaux, jardins d'enfants, brûlé des livres et des médicaments, abattu tout le bétail en 1958, lorsque le pays a décidé de déclarer son indépendance. Le gentil et gentil général de Gaulle, à qui il y a un monument à Moscou, a ordonné alors de sortir de Guinée tous les biens, et ce qui ne peut pas être retiré - de détruire. Et les bibliothèques ont été brûlées, les terres fertiles empoisonnées, les machines agricoles détruites, les magasins détruits…

​@@cyberslanc'est un partenariat, la chine investit économiquement, tandis que Russie investit militairement pour protéger les intérêts russo-chinois. Les russes sont certes plus compétents militairement que les chinois mais ça ne change en rien le fait que les chinois sont des bourrins et n'hésitent pas à tuer s'il le faut.

T'apprends bien tes leçons toi@@vladimirnikolskiy

you talking about chinese debt traps, they stopped issuing them since like 2019, and struggle getting their money back (they take resources for cheap instead). everyones the same. And america has done more of this type than france, and worse. USA had forced france to quit on its colonies after ww2, so did USSR, somehow they didnt want anyone else to be powerful. I think its important france has power, cause otherwise we're letting china, russia, iran, saudi arabia, and usa take over. Only think to think about, is that we should have done it differently, and have a tighter relationship, whilst mutually benefiting each other.

nah bro, that would hurt the propaganda! don't question anything, exercise blind trust! USA good, Russia bad! Don't you dare question that

Ohh, that would be really awesome!

The lack of sources should cause us to question EVERYTHING being said. The difference between good historiography and what could be a fairy tale is the presence or absence of good sourcing. Without sources to verify statements, the underlying justification for believing what’s being said is literally “just trust me, bro.” That feeling of “wow, this makes SO much sense!” is really easy to engender in an audience if you don’t have to post your sources. With that said, I hold a BA in History, and did about 1/3 of my studies on this region, and I didn’t see or hear anything in this video that I would say is false or even really all that suspicious. However, that in itself makes me a little suspicious - nothing in human history is ever perfectly sensible, clear-cut, and easily understood. But, without sources to check their statements against, that’s all I can say. It seems credible, it doesn’t *appear* to be an outright fabrication, and it is internally consistent. I feel like there’s one last thing which should be mentioned: There have been a limited number of events in which massive stores of ancient knowledge have been lost or destroyed, such as the destruction of the Library of Alexandria, the conquest of Baghdad & destruction of the House Of Knowledge, the “Great Leap Forward” and the Spanish conquest of the Aztec… Another of these events has been underway in the region this video focuses on, concerning the libraries of Mali. Jihadist forces consider the truly ancient scrolls that had been stored there for hundreds to more than a thousand years to be against their religion, and as a result they have been systematically destroying them, hunting down those who are attempting to hide, preserve, or evacuate these documents and artifacts - there have been some amazing stories of heroism in the service of the preservation of these priceless works, but most end in tragedy. Russia / Wagner / “Die Neue Afrika Korps (but we swear the other guys are the real Nazis!)” do NOT give a shit about ancient scrolls from Mali. They want gold, and other raw materials come in a distant second. France sucks for the way they’ve treated these people, but a mere cursory glance at the history of Russia will suffice to show that they have never - EVER - truly been a force for decolonization. If they ever came close, those days are truly over now, as Putin has expressed an almost completely overt desire to re-establish the Russian Empire. Inviting Russian troops into your country to help with peacekeeping and security is a very, very bad move that has never turned out well for ANY who have attempted it.

As french I can tell you that all of this is well known by anybody with basic french geopolitical knowledge. Nothing surprising.

Americans are no less informed on current global events than Europeans.

I suppose, I should atleast point out some nuance/context: Many Americans do ignore foreign problems...when domestic crisis at home for the average American must take precedence and right now it is a tacit issue but I digress. Outside of that, a significant percentage [if not nearly all or all] of modern world crisises receive American aid relief in some manner. Not sure if you meant the connotation but yes, as those with the most...we actually do give pretty much the most and the second typically being our allies from America's hat, the Canadians to those across the pond in GBE/UK or Europe and increasingly Australia/NZ and SEAsia from like Japan, SKorea and Taiwan. This is why disaster and conflict zones outside of our borders can be reached with very decent reliability Americans on site providing civilian relief from health service personnel like doctors, nurses, maxillofacia specialists, etc rendering life saving services to the unfortunate in warzone relief refugee, sanctuary and missionary camps to even specialists like pathologists and laboratory specialists for example in outbreak events to municipal, civil and infrastructure scientists and engineers in ecological sustainability or disaster relief from like severe typhoons. So, a significant portion of American effort (ie. human, manufactured and economic/financial capital) goes abroad to help others...but that's not as attention/click grabbing, soundbyte or algorithm friendly as like breaking news coverage of USAF fighters and bombs raining carnage upon some small country with a bunch of teens with oily skin and acne that are protesting outside of a newly opened McDonalds. Or my favorite for newspaper headlines is: Ex: "Small country that just found oil and suddenly their government is now overthrown by a radical Islamic terrorist cell and is wet and ready for stiff and girthy trouser slab of freedom, liberty and managed democracy throbbing through a 500kg bomb shoved up their bonus holes", front page article picture shows fighter jets streaking overhead and bald eagle standing on your shoulder as fireworks erupt behind you as you hold both a blasting AR-15 and a US flag standing defiantly atop an Abrams tank...why? Because, Amurica...f--uh-ck yeah. Anyways...

Cause they're scared 😱. Americans don't have to look at foreign policy all they have to do is look at the blacks here. The average American is frightened here at home. . Hell nooooo !!!! They can't cope with what's coming from thier foreign policy aswell

Borscht Belt must also be feared.

Cool Belt? :D oh Coup Belt :(

there is bias, its bias against French colonialist propaganda. I know that seems like a technicality, but its important to remember that you cant actually have no bias. 'no bias' is a made up concept designed to manipulate you. rather, you always have some kind of bias, you just need to know exactly what that bias is and how to responsibly manage it. for instance, people like to pretend centrism is unbiased, but thats false, a bias towards centrism is a bias away from extremism. that does not make it inherently correct, sometimes the extreme position is the correct one. example, the abolishment and outlaw of slavery was an extreemist position. the centrist position was that slaves should live good lives. they would still be slaves, they just would be "happy slaves". the centrist position on slavery was fucking crazy. and the extremists position that slavery should just be abolished, was correct.

No bias? Are you thick - they just outlined point by point how exploitation is destroying nations and that’s what you took from it …

⁠@@AbsurdAsparagusLol, what a pathetic relativist take. Abolitionism was an extremist position only from the perspective of slave owners and those who benefited from it, hardly representative of the majority of population

Unlike eurocentric History legend channel who argued French would be wealthier without Africa.

I wouldn't say that. I don't know much about most of this but what I know well about is French Nuclear Plants and Niger uranium mines and a lot of what he says is wrong or deceptive. Which makes me doubt the rest. I still think the ideas are sort of right but I would be careful with believing everything he says. And it would not be the first time he takes freedom with reality, hes often quite sensationalist

I've been in Guinea too! And I have to say it was rlly tough

can you provide some events and circumstances, why the countries poor and tough? Have the colonial masters left behind the problematic situations?

Tell me what you were doing in those countries? Are you not a CIA terror recruiter?

​@hellifreiherr260 the video explains most of it, and you can do some research. But just a quick update, 14 African countries (most of which are in the sahel region) still use the "CFA francs" which is a French currency, and they are expected to keep 50% of their reserves in the French treasury in France. That tells you how France still controls these countries prevent them from growing.

@@grantwithers yeah totally not exploitative that's why the local populations regularly demonstrate how much they want the french to f*ck off

Breathe, this channel is pushing BS. Africa has laways been a huge net cost for France, both back during the colonization, and even more today, just some classical russian propaganda...

Typical greedy French!

how many gold mines you have btw? and what about your gold reserves?!

​@@bremnesen Err... idiot, are you aware that gold reserves don't come from gold mines?

I doubt that a lot of this resistance will bring them much good. Of cause France does not always play fair. But the major problem was not France, but bad leadership, a lack of patriotism, to much Islamism and no vision for economic opportunities. The CFA Franc allows for easy trade with the Euro zone, mining rights can be renegotiated (if needed) and foreign soldiers can boost the economy in a region (some regions in Germany are still benefiting from American soldiers who are stationed there).

We don’t get told this stuff cause it immediately makes the French no longer ‘morally superior’, which they tend to think they are.

Yeh whatever the Africans do will be the wrong thing anyway… they literally never do right by their people

So cool this will actually be seen in a class.
