While Russia doesn't have a history of colonialism in Africa, maybe ask the Circassians what they think of that.

There’s two differences though. 1. The Imperial Czarist Russia doesn’t exist anymore, that dynasty and government was wiped out and so was its USSR successor. The France that committed the crimes in Africa still exists and is still benefiting from the unequal relationship. 2. Russia isn’t invading or colonizing Chad and isn’t relaying on its colonial legacy and currency control, it is a consensual relationship.

Yeah, you keep telling yourself that.

I’m sorry reality doesn’t mesh well with your western chauvinism. If Russia misbehaves booting it will be far easier than booting France.

Just go here and read the happy comments. Here's one:
