Mali asks France for help against extremists

[United Kingdom of Muffins]

I hope that Mali rejoins France after this in all honesty the only African country to benefit from decolonization is South Africa and they're a fun mix of crazy people as well.

[Farnhamia]

Why do people think that countries are incapable of multitasking? Does France do foreign relations? Does France do education? Does France do ... I don't know, pick one. If you answered yes to two or more of these questions, sacrebleu! C'est le multitasking!

Frankly why should I have to worry about a bunch of people in Mali when improvement of the French education system is much more important alongside revamping of the immigration system.

Are you running France? You don't have to worry about it, you don't even have to think about it. By the way, France has answered the call.

[Farnhamia]

The budget isn't a binary thing.

Tell that to the national assembly.

You tell them, with your vote.

Yes, well, I don't think that's going to happen.

Apparently the French Government can't multitask.

1) Are you aware of the existence of Botswana?
2) What if neither country wants reunion?

I too miss the days in which Africans had no democratic rights and were killed for questioning their white superiors as well!

Who says we can't have colonialism and democracy?

as a constituent of France I do have the right to voice my opinion to the countries leadership, we have the French legion for a reason why should French citizens have to intervene in mali.

[Conserative Morality]

The point where Colonialism is involved.

[MaliFederation]

I'am half malian and think the neighbours Algeria, Senegal and Burkina should help immediately.

Not so sure about Burkino

Algeria and Senegal do actually have influence for being some of the more stable African democracies.

That's only because you're doing it wrong.

Even if Burkina isn't a real democracy they could help :|
Dictators make war too (Bilal Ag Acherif the boss of the MNLA is currently in Burkina)

[Conserative Morality]

Please, show me how colonialism can coexist with democracy in the colonies. Only historical examples are to be accepted.

Oh come on, colonialism is like communism. If they can claim it can work despite all the facts to the contrary, why can't I?

Who says I think communists should get away with such bullshit claims?

That's why I'm only interested in Algeria and Senegal helping.

Yes, you do have the right. The way you were talking, though, made it seem as if you felt that you, personally, had to "worry about a bunch of people in Mali."

well considering the civilian cost and deployment of French troops.

I never said you do. I was just pointing out ridiculous double standard that so many let them get away with.

But to the point, imperial democracy can work.

[Saruhan]

They shouldn't, because I don't want to increase French influence

[Conserative Morality]

I never said you do. I was just pointing out ridiculous double standard that so many let them get away with.

So what the hell does that have to do with our conversation?

But to the point, imperial democracy can work.

You've failed to make your case.

I'm here. :|
