There was no kicking anyone out. The government asked France to leave, and France left. That's not a kick.
Still no condemnation of Russian imperial aggression. You know just because you're not using your lemmygrad main doesn't mean that you're not obvious AF.
Flipping over the table on your way out does not signal a cordial exit nor amicable split.
I push back against NATO propaganda on here all the time. It’s just not relevant to this discussion. Check the modlog, and you’ll see plenty of my pushback. But if you want to engage with that part of your script, do it in the relevant discussions.
Don't flatter yourself. I do not fraternalise with imperialists, campist, non-campist, left, right, middle, doesn't matter.
I was referring to the French military sabotaging infrastructure.
And I'm referring to you consistently refusing to denounce imperialist aggression.
The French (partly) dismantled their own bases, their own military infrastructure. Which is to be expected during a withdrawl, the rest has been transferred. Leaving when asked to is not an act of imperialism or colonialism, and neither is taking your stuff with you.
If, for example, Russia were to withdraw from Ukraine and take all its tanks with them, that would not be an act of imperialism. Them staying, OTOH, is an act of imperialism: The have not been invited. You still have to denounce Russian imperialism.
Did I already mention that you yet have to denounce Russian imperialism? You might want to do that if you want to have a conversation with the grown ups.
You’re working off a very limited script.
Even if that were the case, still better than being an imperialist like you.
