Might have something to do with France losing grip on Africa while Russia to get their piece of pie there.
That is mostly to do with France weakening in general from this conflict and their stupidity in sending a lot of their arms stockpile to Ukraine along with their generally stupid actions in Niger that ended with a coup that go right of their stooge in charge there. Russia isn’t really directly responsible for their problems, to me it’s Macron trying to play the tough guy at a time when the farmers are getting extremely pissed off with his actions along with most of the nation turning against him. He really doesn’t have much of a plan right now given how little France has in leverage atm and the government is basically under siege from its own people

Anybody knows more about this alleged U.S. Reaper drone attack in Iraq against an alleged Iranian targets? The Reaper drone used a "Supersonic Ginsu Missile" or R9X.

What's the likelihood of this missile being used in Ukraine or God forbid, Russia itself? What's the advantage or advantages of this "HIGHLY CLASSIFIED MISSILE" according to this supposedly retired LT.Col. claim.

Speaking of France, a bit off topic,

CFA Franc was the currency developed by France for it's West African neo colonies. 14 African countries use it. The CFA was set up originally to prevent the Africans from suffering from the devaluation of the French Franc (FF) after WWII. The French called it "an act of generosity".

The setup mandates that 50% of these countries' foreign reserves always be deposited in the French Treasury, with the French being the sole controllers of the monetary policy of these 14 countries (even after their "independence"). The original exchange rate in 1944 was fixed at CFA 1 : 1.70 FF. Seemed favorable to Africa at first, but this was not to be as the French began to perpetually devalue the CFA every year.

Today, the exchange rate stands at CFA 655 : 1 FF. Devaluing the CFA allowed the French to continually plunder and loot the Africans, primarily their resources which became cheaper and cheaper for the French, and simultaneously, made it more and more difficult for the Africans to develop. As a result, these 14 countries stood (in 2021) with a combined population of 193 million with a combined GDP of $283 billion.

Oh.. and.. many African heads of states who tried to resist were toppled or killed. In recent years, West Africans have been trying to develop an independent single currency, looking at 2027 for it's introduction.

It's just a hellfire with an inert warhead used to assassinate targets with kinetic energy while lowering collateral damage. It's an extremely niche weapon only useful for targeted assassinations in areas where US drone can fly with impunity. US would be better off with HIMARS and Storm Shadow against Russian command nodes in Ukraine.
