  • Over the last couple of years I’ve begun watching content coming out of African countries and I’m seeing the ridiculous stance of America and Euro countries where they expect African nations not to have positive relations with China or Russia but Europe and America instead; like what an absolute joke; if ANY part of the world should be cutting ties with Europe and America it would be Africa. Forget that historically the relationship between colonial countries and Africa has been poison to African nations, even currently Western powers are a poison to them, and they’re surprised African countries would rather work with Russia and China? Heck, the Soviet Union literally helped in anti-colonial struggles, and the people these African nations needed help against? Western nations.

    Literally the only appropriate response to Europeans and Americans getting uppity about working with them instead of China is to laugh in their face and say no.

    Just look at the disgusting comments coming from Macron towards countries in Africa to get an example of why the global South should turn their back on all these countries who built their nations on their wealth, countries that would all fail very quickly if the free lunch was stopped. Libs have the audacity to criticize countries in Africa when it’s literally Western powers tearing African countries down again and again and poaching any talent from their countries for themselves; doctors and nurses who leave African countries add to the pool of medical professionals in Euro nations but take away from the pool in the countries they left behind. Western governments are the reason these countries are struggling, and also robbing them of their wealth, and then they turn around and say it’s some failing on the part of African countries.

    Global South countries should just laugh in these people’s faces and pivot to China; China’s not overthrowing governments or bombing any countries, let alone African, Middle Eastern or South American countries.


  • A Qatari I know who games with Europeans got into an argument with them about why he’d rather his country work with China and Russia, and they legit thought saying awful actions on their part was from ten years ago and doesn’t count was some kind of solid argument; they also said America led the war against Iraq and that makes it America’s fault, not any Euro country, and they also point to any meager resistance on the part of Euro governments to Israel proves their countries aren’t in bed with Israel (yes, they actually think their governments are blameless in the Gaza genocide); he said they were Eurocentric and racist and they blew a fuse, lol

















  • but it’s a valid analogy

    Almost; the added context that unfortunately breaks it is that this would have to be on the eve of a war with a comparative superpower that is leagues superior to America and having to hope that you aren’t arming subversive forces who’ll turn on you in this one sided war; then there’s also that this superpower would have crafted a rival political group that both it and the superpower accept as the legitimate government (so like if Democrats said the election was rigged and they were the real winners, and the superpower treated it as fact). Trump isn’t stupid enough to do that; basically no one is; for example this national police force would also need to number high enough to be of any value in war, and this many people easily allows for subversive forces.

    Heck, in the real world you have leftist youtubers infiltrating these groups all the time.

    The idea is too crazy for the analogy to be valid; you’d have to dumb everything way too down for it to work.

    Edit: actually for that matter, there’s no one in America that seriously wants to actually militarily overthrow Trump, which is the ludicrous claims about Maduro.
