The $500 BILLION Uranium Rejection - That Crashed France's Economy

The $500 BILLION Uranium Rejection - That Crashed France's Economy

Oct. 4, 2025

France's government collapses. Prime ministers ousted one after another. Protests engulf Paris. Debt spiraling past 110% of GDP. Energy prices up 40% since 2022.

The headlines blame political chaos. Budget cuts. Macron's failures. But that's not the real story.

The real story starts in Niger. With uranium. And a $500 billion rejection that nobody saw coming.

For 80 years, France paid Niger pennies for uranium worth billions. Niger got €100 million annually... just 5% of its budget. France? They turned that uranium into $74 billion in nuclear energy exports. Built an empire on African resources while telling the world they were "partners."

When Niger finally asked for a fair deal, raising royalties from 5.5% to 12%, French executives laughed. Called them dreamers. Shut down production to pressure them into submission.

Big mistake.

Because what France didn't understand is that this generation of Africans isn't asking for permission anymore. They're not begging. They're not waiting.

Mali, Burkina Faso, Niger, Chad, Senegal... one by one, they cut the cord. Kicked out French troops. Stopped depositing reserves in Paris. Renegotiated contracts. And when France tried to hold onto Niger's uranium? Niger nationalized the mines.

The economic model that kept France wealthy for nearly a century? Gone. The cheap uranium that powered 65% of French electricity? Cut off. The financial flows that propped up French borrowing? Dried up.

And now we're watching France discover what happens when extraction ends and reality hits.

This isn't just about France and Africa. It's about every system built on exploitation. Every relationship that only works when one side doesn't know they're being used. Every EMPIRE that forgets EMPIRES FALL.

In this video, I'm breaking down the numbers they don't want you to see. The predictions experts made that the media ignored. And why Germany thrives without exploiting anyone while France crumbles without Africa.

If you want to understand the real forces reshaping global power, the ones the headlines miss, you're in the right place.
