Don't underestimate the involvement of the French in all of this. They are the major oil company in many of these African countries. Also, it could be the US destabilizing Europe (the French, in this case) not unlike the Nordstream bombing was carried out to crater Germany.
No doubt, good call.
I tend to believe the US really did not expect this and are trying to play catch up. There's a great game afoot in Africa right now. China and Russia are competing for a share of the natural resources in Africa.
There is also the game of the Fed being played out. And the game of the US trying to weaken the EU to keep them in the "Western" "read: American centric" hemisphere.
I am not sure of any of it but I wouldn't rule out certain lines in this global geopolitical chess board either. But I do agree that Russia and China are trying to cut better deals with the African continent. Intriguing theater for those of us paying attention.

Yes, the destruction of Nordstream was an attack on the EU and the Euro

Updated law, Ukrainian women between the ages of 20 and 40 can be mobilized for military service as regular soldiers, and from 20 to 50 years of age for service as officers.
Now Ukraine has announced that military age women cannot leave the country.
To the Last Ukrainian just leveled up.

It worries me a little more than it should, but I think my reasons are justified.
Putin said if something like this happened he’d escalate.
There isn’t much in his arsenal he hasn't used already except one to two things. And one of them… I hope never to see used.

The US has calculated the costs of entering combat in Ukraine.
3600 American lives per day
100,000 per month
In high intensity warfare. They have also come to the obvious conclusion it can't be done without a draft.
I'll post the study later, haven't read it all myself
This also means that we are approaching To the Last Ukrainian.

Right…. 3600. Not 350,000,000.
