They did release a new community phone too - C2. Nothing spectacular in terms of specs but still.

Travel time is just distance/speed

And that makes the function like ’y = 1/x’ which is not a linear function. No dark magic, just math. The gist is the proportial part, not just inversely.

It is not linear but some sort of hyberpolic function as the OP is describing: double the speed and you halve the travel time, you move closer to zero travel time but never reach it. With a linear relation you would reach zero travel time at a specific speed point.

But who are they fighting in those proxy wars?

France is there to get cheap Libyan oil from a warlord.

I will need more convincing on that. But I do see that France’s involment does have pretty bad optics - and maybe reasons. But because France is not the only one there, it sure isn’t something black and white.

And I wouldn’t draw comparisons to Ukraine as the Libya has unfortunately have had so much internal instability that is not comparable - though one could say something Euromaiden and the aftermath of it but that is still order of magnitudes different starting point.

Take Libya for instance where France is helping the Haftar regime to continue waging war against the internationally recognized government alongside Russia, Wagner, the UAE and Egypt.

Pretty sure France is not there to be along with Russia and Wagner but because Russia and Wagner is there. Russia’s interest is to grow influence and cause issues to Europe.

Let’s just say that your comparison holds such a large inequivalence and hence makes the questions absurd. Maybe it’s just genuine ignorance or maybe something else…
