    I fucking hate the French so much. They're number three on the list of biggest evils in the world after Amerikkka and Isn'trael. If they're trying to ramp up Imperialism, keep an eye on Mali.

      You ignore the British at your own peril, to say nothing of the fucking Germans

        Britbongs have a long dark history of being the slave-drivers of the world but they're not nearly as overtly Imperialist as France has been in the past decade. Libya was a joint project of France and the US. France was responsible for the leader in Mali that was just overthrown. They're much more comfortable using their military than the limeys are.

        I will admit that the Engl*sh are probably the most disgusting people in the world after Amerikkkans

          Didn't the UK help us invade Iraq, while the France sat that one out? Seems like more of a wash to me.

      Ah yes, every single day, I wake up and wonder how am I going to exploit west africans. I'm sure the millions of yellow vests/anarchists/communists in France ask themselves how to be good imperialists, and fully support inconditionally our government. It's not like Macron was chosen by default against a fucking fascist, with only 25% of the votes, with a ridiculous abstention rating.

      Grow up and get rid of your liberalism is all I have to say. It's literally on the same fucking level as hating 1.4 billion chinese because you disagree with their government.

        Homie what the fuck are you going on about? Do you think I mean "every single french person" when I say "the French"? Do you think I mean the old black lady working at the gas station when I say "Amerikkkans"? Like do you think I mean myself when I say Amerikkkans?

          The wording left some ambiguity. You may have cleared that up, but some leftists seem not to make a difference between the state/government, and entire peoples.

        I mean, whether you like it or not, you still benefit from french imperialism.

    Shitty google translation:

    I tell the Lebanese that you are brothers of the French. As I promised you, I am returning to Beirut to review developments regarding emergency aid and to work together to create the necessary conditions for reconstruction and stability.

    What I wonder though, is why are we (French) so invested in the current Lebanese situation, compared to say, Libya's or Mali's. The country has no oil, no mineral resources, is a powderkeg, and is already the playground of powers far more implemented than we are now.

    The only valid reason I see is to avoid another civil war that would translate in another refugee crisis. But even before the explosions, it seemed inevitable anyway, so I'm left wondering why are we going back there like in the days of the protectorate.
