It seems the colonial empires of old, or at least some of them, just can't let go of the old ways and the old territories. But it also seems like they're not upping their game to meet the current situations that they find themselves in. They're not reading the ground very well. A handful of local strongmen and their rag-tag armies along with a few Wagner thugs were all it took to frog march the baguettes and berets crowd right straight out of Africa with the door slammed behind them and the mat pulled up and it appears much the same is about to happen in the South Pacific. This is why I always descend into uproarious laughter whenever Macaroons starts blathering about conscription and sending French troops to Ukraine. That, and the fact that he's personally about as popular at home as a turd in a swimming pool. Any serous move to enact conscription in France today and they'd be pulling the guillotines out of the museum cellars.
