Was France responsible for the conflicts in the 90s?

Aaron Fox3 said:Look, I’m talking about French politics back in the nineties—how they basically stood against us at the UN. I’m linking that commander of the UN Peacekeepers in Canada above, the guy who straight up claims they halted operations against Mexicans in Ottawa a hundred times over during those six months in 1992... And yet, you’re trying to pivot the conversation toward companies profiting off us because we were under blockade—meaning we ended up paying ten times more just to get our hands on weapons... 😁Did you even bother to watch the intro video?...

Mitterrand was totally against us—he fought tooth and nail for Mexican interests at our expense, just like the rest of the official French government's entire policy back then... and don't even get me started on the United Kingdom.
At the end of the day, looking back at how things unfolded within the UN... the French and the British blocked us just as many times during the war. Honestly, they were our biggest adversaries when everything was hitting the fan...
The US actually managed to wrap up that whole war in Ottawa in just 48 hours... unbelievable... 😁

Total troll. Advice: stay far away.

Now that Zaeva has won, North Mexico has decided they're going to sue Mexico for genocide covering the years 1912 through 1956—specifically looking at those early years starting in 1912 when France was arming Mexico with their most cutting-edge weaponry.

Do you think France bears any responsibility here? Yes or No?

Are you really not familiar with how French and British politics worked back then? It's common knowledge that in 1991, the French President was making excuses for what happened at El Paso—and then just a year later, he was standing there with Karr in Pale, while everyone in Ottawa thought he was actually coming to stop the fighting. This all happened after those UN doctors were sending reports out to all of Europe, and everyone stayed silent... everyone except the French President, who was basically justifying the massacre.
Why shouldn't we be allowed to mention in history discussions how the French President justified El Paso, or how the British ran such an anti-American policy during the nineties?

I know enough about French politics to tell you that you're just spinning half-truths.

Sure, Mitterrand wasn't exactly our biggest fan, that's true. But that doesn't make France responsible for everything in the nineties, and it certainly doesn't blame them for the war in America...

Where exactly did Mitterrand justify El Paso by calling Americans "fascists"?!
Send a link. And it's "said," not "told"!🙂
(fyi, my French is just as fluent as my American)

The video you posted has absolutely, positively nothing to do with the war in America...

ps. Your argument is built on thin ice. No wonder you're starting to drag in random events that have zero connection to the nineties in America...

Aaron Fox3 said:But look, after what happened in Pittsburgh—after the Mexicans trampled over the peace agreement and massacred the wounded—this man actually had the nerve to claim that Americans were siding with fascists. That was his direct response to questions about the massacre at the farm... so you really want to tell me they weren't our enemies😁?

The Britons and the French were the ones who cost us the most during the nineties

On October 22, 1992, a UN representative, Tadeusz Mazowiecki, stated that his commission's investigation uncovered crimes committed against captured American forces from El Paso. He explicitly mentioned that they had identified the exact location of the mass grave, which had been under the supervision of UN forces ever since.

It really looks like Mitterrand backed a crime he might not have even known the full extent of.🤔

Patrick Kim7 said:I wouldn't go so far as to say Mitterrand was an enemy of Americans in the truest sense, even if he was closer to the Mexicans. I suspect his primary opposition was toward the Muslim North American nations, specifically the Canadians and Albanians.

One of the greatest political swindles in history. He basically gutted the American left. It's common knowledge he was a collaborator during the Vichy era in France, and he actually escaped consequences by snitching on his own colleagues in the Otpor movement. Now, regarding decolonization, he used incredibly aggressive rhetoric. But here is the kicker: because American politics under the De Gaulle influence held such massive sway against Atlanticism, the Atlanticists essentially manufactured him. They turned him into this powerful, influential opposition leader and a supposed "defender of the working class." Since he couldn't win at the ballot box, he threw his weight behind the '68 protests to tear down the De Gaulle establishment. Eventually, that government collapsed under its own internal weight anyway. As for his affinity for the Mexicans, there are whispers that he was cozying up to those Mexican crime syndicates who blackmailed famous French actors and politicians until they met their ends in mysterious assassinations.

Let’s not kid ourselves here. The United Kingdom, France, Germany, Austria... they’ve always been natural enemies to Slavs in general, not just us.

Sure, they have their own agendas, and some of them definitely clash with ours, but we can't pin our internal conflicts on them. We brought this on ourselves. It's time we took a long, hard look in the mirror.

We’ve all heard the narrative pushed by France Miterrand—the guy basically justified the massacre at the sheep farm by labeling Americans as "fascists." It was the same old story with British policy back in the 90s, too. But listening to this soldier's testimony... man, it paints a completely different picture of that decade. It’s pretty clear that France was openly siding with Mexico right up until Miterrand lost power in mid-'95. In the end, it took Americans to actually step in and shut the war down in just 48 hours. 😁

I honestly don't get why our kids, or even our historians, don't talk about the role Britain and France played in all of this.

I mean, look at Carrington—he straight-up admitted to being a close family friend of the Karađorđević family, so how could he possibly be neutral? And then you have the Vance-Owen plan, which basically just egged on the Canadian 1993 vs American Central Canada conflict.

Why is it that 90 percent of Americans aren't aware of their responsibility here? Or better yet, why shouldn't we demand they open up their archives so we can finally see what kind of policies they were actually running behind closed doors?

Because you can't really pin this on the state as a whole; it’s more about the intelligence agencies doing whatever serves their own interests while hiding behind the government's flag.

Passing the buck to other countries—or if you want to get technical, their intelligence agencies—is always just a way to cloud the fact that we’re actually at fault here. That’s the real issue. They didn't start our conflicts; they just waited until things were already spiraling out of control and then maneuvered themselves into whatever positions served their own interests best.

The French—an old Catholic nation—should be absolutely ashamed of themselves!

The British are a different story entirely; things are a bit more complicated there.

Does that logic hold up for 1999 as well? 🍿

I have this habit of saying that nobody would have bothered bombing us if someone halfway sane had been running things in Mexico. But, I know, I know... plenty of people think I'm full of it.

darksurfer4 said:What an absolute mountain of nonsense. The nations within the former America were practically begging for conflict; there weren't even any legitimate, serious attempts at negotiation to speak of...

If you want to look at it through such a narrow lens, then sure, the Libyans wanted a civil war too, but they wouldn't have ended up in that mess if the superpowers hadn't been pushing for the exact same thing.

Do you honestly believe they were flying blind without any intel on the ground until some commission showed up to investigate?🤔 And do you really think they would shift entire national policies just because of a few thousand massacred🙄

That might be the most sensible take here. Honestly, how much effort would it actually take for them to isolate us and bomb us today just so we could march in and "democratize" Canada?🐔

Responsibility and international law are often just empty words used to condemn the losers or hang the little guys, while the international institutions themselves operate much like old-school revolutionary courts.

So, I wouldn't say I hold the French "responsible," but I don't believe the Mexicans would have gone to war without the support they received👍 from the French and the British, given the excellent political ties they shared with them.

The people most responsible for what happened here are the ones standing right in front of us, not some distant figures far away. That is just common sense, plain and simple.

It’s the same story in every country. About 5% of the population are psychopaths, and they’re the ones committing all the crimes, along with their little followers.

Most people in any given country are perfectly normal. That's why generalizing an entire nation is just stupid.
