I read where the Russians are replacing the French in Africa. Or displacing.

The French have been running what amounts to a colonial empire in north/central Africa, comprising several African nations, for years and years. The French have military bases there and control the economies by controlling the currencies, banking deposits, etcetera.
(France is still a BIG TIME colonial power, under disguise but it is wide-spread)
Now the Russians are moving into the area. First to go: USA forces. It would not be surprising if the French get kicked out too..

Africa has incredible mineral wealth, but its population is poisonous to Western civilization.

That band of defacto French colonies in Equatorial Africa has made big moves already. It’s amazing how France still quietly ran those places as colonies under the radar. Traditionally that meant French military intervention. I’m not sure they could pull that off today without enraging their migrant population at home. And Macron thinks a war in Ukraine is important although it would be a cost center rather than a source of profit for France like the African colonies.
Lot’s of moving parts over there.

It will work out as well for them as it has for everyone else.

Ever since Hillary Clinton's disaster in Libia, America has been systematically driven out of Africa.

Why? Why? Why?
Did the US ever need to station troops in Chad?
It’s a case of a hammer looking for a nail.

One of the classic problems we have, is that we build bases. The Chinese show up and build roads, dams, etc. The Chinese are not altruistic, but they are much smarter and more of a chess nation than checkers playing DC.

yeah.
well, if Chad kicks France out they’ll have Russia as their master
could be better for Chad but if I were them I wouldn’t count on it. They probably don’t know either. Sometimes you try something new and just hope it works out for the better.
