This is a significant playbook: "French President Emmanuel Macron announced on Sunday that France will withdraw its military presence from Niger and recall its ambassador. This decision marks the end of a months-long standoff between the two nations, which was initially triggered by the July 26 coup that removed President Mohamed Bazoum from power."

If Russia did not attack Ukraine and rightfully condemned for doing it, France might not have followed this withdrawal path. The challenge going forward is clear: you cannot condemn Russia and become a mini-Russia elsewhere.
