Honestly I wouldn't be able to tell which side is the good one here.
If the end goal of either side isnt the redistribution of the countries wealth, increasing health, education and housing programs then they can both get fucked
Based
Yeah, fully admit all I really know is that the deposed president was democratically elected, that the military junta was not, that Russia is suspected of BS, and that the migrant issue is potentially involved.
The first one is the important one to me, that its a Ecowas sanctioned military dictatorship making the claim that Ecowas is going to invade with France's help.
The thing is europe and the west in general is bleeding africa of it's ressources and even though it topples a democraticly elected president the goal they claim is to free themselves of postcolonialism wich could be very good for africa. But yeah always hard to know woch side tells the truth...
I'm french and mostly live in a cave so I have no idea. I only know the basics of the problem.

Just one change and you've got Ukraine.
That’s just bullshit - but you already know that - don’t you?
So the Nazi military junta that seized power in Ukraine was democratically elected? Is that what you're trying to tell me?
Or that the illegally ousted president was never democratically elected?
Explain yourself.
Zelensky's government was not the result of the 2014 revolution. It was elected in 2019.
You don't say? I was talking about Yarosh and Parasyuk's Right Sector Nazi coup that led to Nuland illegally placing her puppet Yatsenyuk in power.
Be quiet now.
Quite the intellectual thread this.
Yet another Lemmygrad Liar ruining the fediverse with your authoritarian propaganda.
As a French I don't know either, especially looking at our history
Siding with the democratically elected leader is generally a good choice.
Not so simple when everyone in the country instantly started chanting that the coup liberated them from french influence and protesting at our embassies
Awaiting proper stats but just asking people in the streets what they think about it all tells a different story about the previous regime
Because there's never one?
wonder why the downvote, we sure would like to thing that there's a bad and a good one, much easier, but most nation are acting for their own profit first, not by pure heart
