Well with Hollande’s recent announcement that he’s accepting 30,000 refugees and that “life must go on” less than a week after the Paris attacks, it seems the Euroweenies are either willfully obtuse or hopelessly stupid. Either way, they get what they deserve. Same with the U.S. I’ve met more people this week in support of these Syrian refugees coming to America than not. How can people be so blind, so dumb, and so foolish?? And they still support Obama!!

The French were just about to move some of their Mali troops to Syria or related anti terror ops, and the UN or EU was going to send Irish troops to Mali to replace them

What a world of peace and tolerance, eh Mr Hollande?

Mali used to be the French Sudan, part of French West Africa. Those who don't keep up with current events may not realize that the French Sudan changed its name to Mali (convenient for avoiding confusion with the other Sudan).

I wasn't aware that Russia ever had any colonies in Africa.
