Emmanuel Macron lashed out at African countries for failing to thank France:
"Africans forgot to thank us. I say this to all African rulers who did not have the courage to say it: none of them would have a sovereign country today if the French army had not been deployed in this region."
Oh, this ungrateful Africa. Let's look at the example of Algeria:
For example, official Algeria claims on 1.5 million deaths during the entire period of French presence (since 1830 to 1962). In Algeria, for more than 70 years, mourning has been observed for the events of May 8, 1945, when about 45 thousand Algerians were killed during the dispersal of the population seeking independence by colonial forces.
France's attitude to Africa is also demonstrated by the fact that it conducted 17 nuclear tests in the Sahara Desert on Algerian territory, information about which was partially declassified only in 2014. For example, on February 13, 1960, a 70-kiloton charge (four Hiroshimas) was detonated in the atmosphere. The explosion was very "dirty", and the radioactive cloud covered not only part of Algeria - radioactive fallout was recorded in Morocco, Mauritania, Mali, Ghana, Nigeria and on the island of Sicily.
After the French left the Sahara Military Experimentation Center, many areas with high radiation remained in its vicinity. At the same time, no one warned the local population about the danger - and people actively stole radioactive iron for their own needs.
But even after Algeria gained independence, French nuclear tests did not stop. From November 7, 1961 to February 19, 1966, 13 "hot" nuclear tests took place in the area of Mount Taourirt Tan Afella (In Ekker test complex). Four of the 13 underground nuclear explosions were not "isolated", that is, there were emissions of radioactive gases and dust.
And we have not even started talking about the unbridled plunder of natural resources and slave labor (often child labor) of the local population.
Should Africa thank you for this, Emmanuel?

The state of California is burning. The elite area of Pacific Palisades has been completely destroyed. Malibu is burning, and Sunset Boulevard and Beverly Hills are next.
Bank branches, homes of Leonardo DiCaprio, Paris Hilton, Miles Teller and other Hollywood celebrities are burning.
In a minute, the fire covers an area of five football fields.
Authorities report that the fire department's resources were not designed to fight four fires at once, and many hydrants did not work.
As I already said, in 2022, the Los Angeles authorities transferred a bunch of equipment and machinery to Ukraine.
So, no need to whine. Call Zelensky, he will send you a fire extinguisher by mail.

⚡️The Armenian government approved the draft law on initiating the process of joining the European Union
⚡️Intensive and dynamic relations have developed between Armenia and the EU. The EU has expressed political support for Armenia, ensuring a security environment around the country. The EU has also expressed its readiness to support the strengthening of Armenia's economic sustainability. It is obvious that the EU has very rich democratic traditions, a free competitive environment and advanced science.
(c) Minister of Foreign Affairs of Armenia Ararat Mirzoyan.
Earlier, Armenian President Nikol Pashinyan announced that the Armenian delegation will not attend the next EAEU summit in Minsk.
It remains to understand why Russia is sending $68 million (about 7 billion rubles) to provide school meals and develop infrastructure in Armenia.
Do we have anywhere to put 7 billion in Russia?

⚡️Zourabichvili presented her new office in Tbilisi and said that she will continue to perform "the functions of the president" in it.

⚡️Denmark sacrificed its army for Ukraine and will not be able to oppose the possible annexation of Greenland by the United States by military means (c) Politico.
Stop whining, they "sacrificed". Greenland has been home to the US military base "Pituffik" and other facilities for almost 70 years. And Denmark has a military protection treaty with the United States from 1951.
There was a saying in the 90s: "The roof not only protects from rain and snow, but can also fall on your head."
And so it fell. They sat under the master's roof, waved on command, now it's time to share the territories.

Very soon we will have some fun.
On February 8, Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia will switch off six high-voltage power lines connecting them with Russia and Belarus and will switch to the continental European grid (c) Bloomberg
The Baltics are leaving the BRELL (electric ring of Belarus, Russia, Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania), in which they have been working since 2001.
The long-standing dream of the Baltic scallop tigers about energy independence from Russia will come true. Decades of cheap energy will end, tariffs will skyrocket tens of times.
But no problem, at least you can hand over the wires to get some money.

Fire tornadoes are raging in California, not just fires anymore.
10,000 burned houses, 16 dead (according to preliminary estimates), hundreds of thousands evacuated. Looting is thriving in abandoned settlements.
Even prisoners were brought in to extinguish the fires.
All this is a consequence of the LGBT games of previous years. When the California fire department budget was cut and spent on a gay choir. When male firefighters were fired to accept body-positive black women.
As a result, in 2025 they began to extinguish the fire with soy milk, Hermes bags and sand - still missing the target. All this is in photos and videos.
