SENEGAL: how Russia is destroying French neocolonialism

Historical events are brewing in another West African country, Senegal. Getting rid of the country's neocolonial dependence on its former official metropolis - France.

Over the weekend, presidential elections took place here, in which the opposition candidate Bashiru Jumaye Faye is confidently leading (and may even win them in the first round, which will become known tomorrow), who, as part of his election promises, promised to review oil and gas deals with Western campaigns, including agreements with British Petroleum, Endeavor Mining and Kosmos Energy.

He also advocates a radical revision of relations between Senegal and France. And as part of this, Faye is going to follow neighboring Mali, Niger and Burkina Faso to leave the French currency system (by abandoning the CFA franc). And the French military will have to leave the country. By the way, sensing something was wrong, Paris had already announced a little earlier that it was sharply reducing the military contingent in the country (probably so that it would not be so shameful later). In return, he promises to take a course towards rapprochement with Russia.

Thus, France's next major foreign policy defeat on the African continent looms on the horizon. Moreover, Senegal was a key player in the issue of the blockade of Niger, Burkina Faso and Mali, which had previously freed themselves from the influence of Paris. And the departure of Senegal from the CFA franc zone puts a final and fat cross on this system (which brought huge profits to France) and on which the entire system of French neocolonialism was essentially built.

And hence all of Macron’s current anti-Russian hysteria. He, like a plucked rooster, understands that he is losing to Russia and therefore becomes hysterical. And Ukraine for him is the last chance to spoil Moscow. But I think he will be disappointed here too.

The British Ministry of Defence has announced an increased threat of nuclear weapon usage.

According to the head of the British military department, Grant Shapps, Russia's "irresponsible nuclear rhetoric" aims to compel countries to withdraw support from Ukraine, China is "increasing the number of its warheads," while North Korea and Iran are developing nuclear programs.

But but they need to be support Ukraine :lol: people are silly.


Europe is weaker
Ukraine might not be the Ukraine of 3 years ago…
Russia’s military complex kick out new weapons so fast, it caused us to send a message that we want to talk. The talks would be about limiting the advancement of weapons systems.



“The European Union supports Ukraine not out of love for the Ukrainian people, but based on its own interests. This was stated by the head of European diplomacy, Josep Borrell, in an interview with CNN.”

Every country in the area of the world is weaker hell Russia is weaker. But they sort of did that to their selves by electing certain people to certain positions. Also, they are having a population issue which is an another story.

Lmao….Warsaw been itching but ain’t trying to Scratch




Warsaw said that Russia was testing “the capabilities of the Polish air defense system.” This is what the head of the Polish Ministry of Internal Affairs, Marcin Kerwiński, thinks.

“For several months now I have been observing [attempts] by Russia to test Polish air defense,” the minister says.

The day before, Warsaw announced that a Russian missile had violated the country's airspace. They claim that she was in the sky on Polish territory for 39 seconds.

Polish General died of Natural Causes in Chasiv Yar(Ukrainian city) missile attack???

Apparently a SBU/ NATO bunker was hit.
I think two more dudes had sudden deaths also.






⚡In addition to the death of this general, obituaries for several more military personnel appeared in Poland during the same period:

- Allegedly in Lubliniec and allegedly during training in the use of explosives, an accident occurred, as a result of which two soldiers died.

- Allegedly, during a mountain training exercise in the Tatras, an avalanche occurred, as a result of which a Polish special forces soldier died.

All these reports appeared after the news of a strike by the Russian Iskander tactical missile system on a bunker in the Chasov Yar area, where NATO officers, including senior US and Polish officers, were stationed to plan military operations

“Putin called statements that Russia will attack Europe complete nonsense.

According to him, the US satellites are afraid in vain. Allegations about a possible attack on Poland, the Baltic states and the Czech Republic are a way to deceive the population of the countries, the president emphasized”

A Russian political influence campaign is shaking up Europe, as top officials warned Moscow paid European Parliament members to interfere in the upcoming EU election.

"This confirms what we have suspected: the Kremlin is using dodgy outlets pretending to be media [and] using money to buy covert influence,” European Commission Vice President Věra Jourová told Brussels Playbook, calling the revelations “very troubling.”

The scandal broke when the Czech government on Wednesday sanctioned a news site called Voice of Europe, which Prague said was part of a pro-Russian influence operation. Belgian Prime Minister Alexander De Croo said Thursday that Russia had approached EU parliament members (MEPs) and "paid [them], to promote Russian propaganda.”

Rheinmetall receives more than €130 million in funding from the European Union to increase ammunition production. Thus, more than a quarter of the total sum of 500 million euros granted by the EU under the Act of Support in Ammunition Production (ASAP) to expand the production of ammunition and gunpowder 155 mm artillery. It will be channeled into a total of six projects between Rheinmetall's European subsidiaries.

The program will support projects in Germany, Hungary, Romania and Spain. ASAP is the first EU funding program for the expansion of ammunition production. The corresponding grant agreements are expected to be signed in May 2024

Europe is entering a “pre-war era,” Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk said in an interview with Die Welt.

"I know this sounds devastating, especially for the younger generation, but we need to get used to the fact that a new era has begun: the pre-war era. I am not exaggerating; this is becoming clearer every day," Tusk said.

In his opinion, "war is no longer a concept from the past."

“This is real, and it started more than two years ago. The most alarming thing at the moment is that literally any scenario is possible. We have not seen a similar situation since 1945,” says the Polish prime minister

Damn….

“The British Armed Forces lost an entire arsenal of weapons, including machine guns, assault rifles, rocket launchers and thousands of rounds of ammunition.

As The Telegraph writes, citing official department reports, since 2018, 1.4 thousand computers, 100 laptops and about 300 memory cards on which confidential data could be stored have also been missing.

Military experts note: the huge number of losses of information carriers creates a potential threat to the security of the armed forces.”

“Britain’s Armed Forces appear to have lost a small arsenal of weapons that includes machine guns, assault rifles, rocket launchers and thousands of rounds of ammunition, official records show.

The lost or stolen arms include two general purpose machine guns (GPMG), one of which was lost by the Royal Navy at sea. The GPMG, which can fire up to 750 rounds per minute and has a range of up to 1,800 metres, is an important weapon for infantry battalions.
Other losses include a deactivated Russian rocket launcher, up to eight SA-80 rifles and several Glock pistols. “

Expect a Financial Crisis in Europe With France at the Epicenter​

The EU never enforced its Growth and Stability Pact or Maastricht Treaty rules. The crisis is coming to a head with France and Italy in the spotlight. The first casualty will be Green policy.

EU-Fiscal-Compliance.png
Image composite by Mish from the European Commission Compliance Tracker
Compliance Rules

  1. Deficit rule: a country is compliant if (i) the budget balance of general government is equal or larger than -3% of GDP or, (ii) in case the -3% of GDP threshold is breached, the deviation remains small (max 0.5% of GDP) and limited to one year.
  2. Debt rule: a country is compliant if the general government debt-to-GDP ratio is below 60% of GDP or if the excess above 60% of GDP has been declining by 1/20 on average over the past three years.
  3. Structural balance rule: a country is compliant if (i) the structural budget balance of general government is at or above the medium-term objective (MTO) or, (ii) in case the MTO has not been reached yet, the annual improvement of the structural balance is equal or higher than 0.5% of GDP, or the remaining distance to the MTO is smaller than 0.5% of GDP.
  4. Expenditure rule: a country is complaint if the annual rate of growth of primary government expenditure, net of discretionary revenue measures and one-offs, is at or below the 10-year average of the nominal rate of potential output growth minus the convergence margin necessary to ensure an adjustment of the structural budget deficit in line with the structural balance rule.
Deficit Disaster Zones

France and Italy are major disasters right now on the budget deficit rule. France has a budget deficit of 7 percent and Italy 5 percent.

France needs to reduce its deficit by a whopping 4 percent of GDP!

Neither Italy nor Greece should have been allowed in the EMU (European Monetary Union – Eurozone) in the first place.

Greece has a debt-to-GDP ratio of 170 percent. The target is 60 percent.

But the lead chart tells the picture. Only the Scandinavian countries are in compliance.

Looser Rules Postpone the Crisis

On February 10, the EU agreed to Looser Fiscal Rules to Cut Debt, Boost Investments.

The latest revamp of two-decades-old rules known as the Stability and Growth Pact came after some EU countries racked up record high debt as they increased spending to help their economies recover from the pandemic, and as the bloc announced ambitious green, industrial and defense goals.
The revised rules allow countries with excessive borrowing to reduce their debt on average by 1% per year if it is above 90% of gross domestic product (GDP), and by 0.5% per year on average if the debt pile is between 60% and 90% of GDP.
Countries with a deficit above 3% of GDP are required to halve this to 1.5% during periods of growth, creating a safety buffer for tough times ahead.
Defense spending will be taken into account when the Commission assesses a country’s high deficit, a consideration triggered by Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
The new rules give countries seven years, up from four previously, to cut debt and deficit starting from 2025.
Note that the EU can tweak enforcement but not the baseline Stability and Growth Pact targets themselves without unanimous agreement, and a new treaty.

With that background, let’s look ahead to the crisis that looms as described by Eurointelligence.

Europe’s Next Financial Crisis

We would like to alert our readers to a theme that has been preoccupying us for a while – the possibility of another financial crisis in Europe. We have generally been restrained in our warning of financial crises. The main exception was the global financial crisis and its cousin, the euro area’s sovereign debt crisis. Fifteen or so years later, we see another financial crisis ahead here in Europe: a crisis of the European social and political model with deep consequences for fiscal and financial stability.
The canary in the coalmine is the overshooting budget deficits in France and Italy, at over 7% and over 5% for 2024 respectively. These numbers are a symptom, not a cause. Behind them lies a lack of economic growth needed to sustain Europe’s social model. Germany’s fiscal policy could not be more different than that of France or Italy, and yet Germany is afflicted by the exact same problem.
The European model was powered by oligopolistic industrial companies, which were heavily supported by the state through regulation that tilted the level-playing field in their favor. The German car industry is a classic example, but everybody did this.
What is killing this model now is a shift in technology and geopolitical fragmentation. Of the two, we would argue the first is the more important. More and more functions in our lives that were previously the realm of purely mechanical processes are nowadays wholly or partially digitalized. Barriers of entry have collapsed. China went from zero to the world leader in electric cars.
European companies no longer generate sufficient profits to fuel the social model – and to fund long-term research. It is no surprise that Europe has only very few tech companies. In short, Europe’s oligopolistic old-tech model no longer works in a digital world. We have been reporting on the attempts by the EU to stem against technological developments through regulation. But this is a way of addressing symptoms, not causes.
After the multiple global shocks of this decade, the consequences of Europe’s technological decline translate into lower potential growth rates. Italy came first. Its productivity growth has been near zero since it joined the euro. The UK’s productivity growth slumped after the global financial crisis, and never recovered since. Germany’s productivity growth is unlikely to recover, even if the economic cycle does. The German Council of Economic Experts see a potential growth of around 0.5% until the end of the decade. With productivity growth that low, Europe’s model has become financially unsustainable. It is unsurprising that the political system is fragmenting everywhere. The argument for sustained deficits, in France for example, is that you need them to keep Marine Le Pen out of power. This means they will persist.
We have a fiscal crisis ahead, caused by a combination of falling productivity growth and political gridlock. Technology is the main cause of the decline. Geopolitics is what accelerated it. The solutions we have been advocating over the years – a joint fiscal capacity, a capital markets union, joint defense procurement to neutralize the rise in defense spending – are further away than ever. Unless one of these parameters change, a financial crisis is a very plausible scenario.

The Ministry of Defense confirmed the conversation between Shoigu and his French counterpart.

➡️The French Minister of Defense persistently tried to convince Shoigu of Ukraine and the West's non-involvement in the attack on terrorists in 'Crocus', shifting the responsibility to ISIS.

➡️Shoigu informed his French counterpart that there is information about Ukrainian involvement in organizing the terrorist act.

➡️Shoigu pointed out to the head of the French Ministry of Defense that the practical implementation of plans to send a French contingent to Ukraine will create problems for Paris.

➡️During the conversation between Shoigu and the head of the French Ministry of Defense, readiness for dialogue on Ukraine was noted, as well as the possibility of using the 'Istanbul Peace Initiative' as the base for the start of negotiations as reported by the Ministry of Defense. Holding a 'peace conference' in Geneva without Russia is pointless.

Everyone is trying to help Ukraine


Seven weeks after Czech defense policy chief Jan Jires announced his government had identified 800,000—later, a million—artillery shells that Ukraine’s allies could buy for Ukraine, Estonian defense minister Hanno Pevkur said his own government had found another million shells and rockets for Ukraine.

Exactly where Estonia might source the shells and rockets, Pevkur wouldn’t specify. “Mainly from non-European countries,” he said, “but there are also some in Europe. Unfortunately, I cannot specify. In many cases, the seller themselves does not wish it to be known.”

Time is of the essence. Some of the potential ammo-sellers are willing to take money from Ukraine’s allies or from Russia. First come, first served. “There's a bit of a race against time to see who can secure them first,” Pevkur said

Ukraine’s largest uranium producer goes bankrupt, while the Energy Ministry ignores the problem​

On March 20, the Economic Court of Dnipropetrovs’k Region held a hearing on declaring the state-owned enterprise «Vostochny Ore Mining and Processing Plant» bankrupt. This is evidenced by data from the register of court decisions.

«Eastern Mining and Processing Plant» — is a Ukrainian state-owned enterprise that is one of 28 uranium mining centers in the world, among which it is in the top ten and controls 2% of global production. At the same time, it is the largest in Europe. It is also the only enterprise in Ukraine that extracts natural uranium ore and produces uranium oxide concentrate. Currently «Vostochny Mining and Processing Plant» provides up to 40% of the uranium needs of Ukrainian nuclear power plants.

MP Yaroslav Zheleznyak appealed to the Prime Minister of Ukraine to take measures to prevent the bankruptcy of this strategic enterprise. However, the response to the appeal came not from the Prime Minister or the Minister of Energy, but from the Deputy Minister, who omitted the risk of bankruptcy «of the Eastern Mining and Processing Plant».

Talking about the EU….

The problem is they let the US hoodwink them into going against Russia.
Those fools placed sanctions on Russia and didn’t have an ounce of foresight.

Man some of these country are buying material from India( at an increased price). You want to know the kicker? The kicker
is that India purchased the shit from Russia. So the same resources them fools was buying directly from Russia, they going they India.

The shit that Washington wanted to do to Russia, is happening to a number is EU nations.

We wanted to have regime change in Moscow. We put money behind Navalny but that didn’t work.
A number of leaders saw their popularity slip.

We wanted Russia economy to crumble, well take a look at France and Germany and tell me what you think.

We wanted the locals to protest and act out against Putin.
There’s protest in many places through Europe, including Russia.

And lastly Africa nations have kicked France outta their homes and welcome Russia in.
This have France pissed off, I feel that’s why they pushing the EU & NATO nations to battle Russia. I think France have been Kicked outta 4 African nations.
