I was watching a video on the situation between Azerbaijan and Russia. It made me think: the way Russia treats it's former republics isn't all that different than what France has done to Africa the last 60 years (or the US to South America).

Neither France nor the US were conducting special military operations with well documented war crimes and continuous attacks on civil infrastructure and civilians.

You can pretty easily research the "University of the Americas" and what went on in Panama, Nicaragua, Noriega, Urgent Fury, and various other activities that took place in the 1980's.

I have a close family member that spent much of the 80's deployed in South America and so while it doesn't get as much attention, US activities in South America are fairly well documented.

I don't think you can compare the severity and implications of what the US did in South America with French colonialism, but many of the things being outlined here did happen (I learned about it in US History 20+ years ago)

FFS, here we go.
