This will ONLY turn ugly if the US and China intervene.
France does not have the gas to wage a regional war in West Africa by itself, even with the help of Nigeria.
If the putschists don't back down on Sunday, we will see what France and ECOWAS will do.
They might try to decapitate the regime quickly, but a full blown war? They can't, UNLESS the US helps them.
And if the US comes, China might put batteries in Russia back and it will turn into a full regional war.
For now, I think ECOWAS is bluffing.
Let's wait till sunday.
