New Caledonia is French and commies won't change that
I look forward to watching ALL colonized lands gain independence and freedom, especially the native peoples.
New Caledonia belongs to France , Moscow and Mandarin empires will never get it.
Decolonization of Moscow🇷🇺 empire is the only way to end Moscow wars of genocidal conquest, And I don’t mean putin´s imperialism, but Moscow imperialism in general , from navalny, pushkin and solzhenitsyn to dugin, and brodsky.
Best wishes!👍❤️
