    So I am guessing it is official that Ukraine SOF is now balls deep operating in Africa now?

    I guess that’s the cost of having NATO/French SOF operating in Ukraine. Shit aint free.

    Still a bizarre timelines here

      Seems more likely to me that Ukrainian forces are just seeking any way they can to hurt Russian forces. If Russian mercenaries are making money that funds the invasion of Ukraine and making allies for the Russian government by fighting in Africa and the Middle East, it makes sense for Ukraine to attempt to counter that where they can. It’s also pretty reasonable for Azawad fighters to see Ukraine as an ally given that they’re fighting a Russian-backed government employing Russian mercenaries.

        Not just money, there’s a risk that if Wagner is successful there, they could start recruiting from there more soldiers to send to Ukraine.

          And conversely, if the Russians are having trouble in Mali they might have to send more resources there. That means less for deployment to Ukraine.

          Basically, it’s all one big military. Hurt it where it’s weakest and that pain is felt everywhere.

                Block them and move on, no engagement will be far worse for them than negative responses.

                  I’d rather not leave people spreading disinformation unchallenged / unchecked. Someone else might read their comments and think that’s the right opinion to have.

                    Oh absolutely report them first, but remember, a simple downvote and then (report+block) means they’re shouting into the abyss.

                    It’s technically not disinformation. Just a flawed conclusion. Politely pointing out alternative, more accurate, ways to look at it is the recommended method.

        Uhm… why would you think that France will not do these things. Russia is actively sawing at the legs of France’s empire in Africa. Via Wagner Russia is already in open hostilities with France. A lot of people are just not paying attention to that. I can’t imagine troops deployed in country where they can get caught easily, but programming scalp missiles, direct liaison to NATO, advisory roles, hell even manning artillery or AA weapons behind the lines. much is possible.
