Niger: we want to use our uranium for our future nuclear plants

France: you can’t, you could become dangerous like Iran. You have no future, remember, we will nuke you now instead

What the fuck are you talking about ?

A few days ago someone said France was planning an attack to Niger after the coup. I’m not defending the coup but that’s how colonialism used to work: I conquered you, your sources (uranium) are mine. And nobody ever thought about using it locally for elecricy production.
