Yes, I know that concept boggles (buggers?) the mind, but Emanuel Macron just just criticized African leaders for being insufficiently grateful for the presence of French troops in their countries, and the associated looting and stolen national reserves that went along with this over the past 60 years.
Charles de Gaulle is watching from above, and saying, "Mon Dieu! This one is more arrogant than Charles de Gaulle!" (de Gaulle actually talked about himself that way)
Macron claimed that Sahel nations, struggling with civil unrest and extremism, owe their sovereignty to the presence of French forces.
He also dismissed assertions that French troops were expelled from the Sahel region, which encompasses several nations south of the Sahara Desert.
………“We had a security relationship. It was in two folds: One was our commitment against terrorism since 2013. I think someone forgot to say thank you. It does not matter, it will come with time,”
“Ingratitude, I am well placed to know, is a disease not transmissible to man. I say it for all African leaders who did not have the courage vis-Ã -vis their public opinions to carry it, none of them would be today with a sovereign country if the French army had not deployed in this region.” Macron said
I'd say that Macron is a complete tool, but a tool has a use.
