In his speech declaring victory in the U.S. presidential election on Nov. 6, Donald Trump made no mention of Ukraine yet alluded to just how consequential his second term in office will likely be for the country ravaged by Russia’s invasion.

. . .

How does Trump plan to stop Russia’s war against Ukraine?

That’s the million-dollar question that is undoubtedly being discussed in capitals worldwide, not least in Kyiv and Moscow.

      China’s engagment in Africa is just as neocolonial as Western engagement if not more

      How so?

      China is building infrastructure, creating jobs and giving African nations the tools they need to develop thus creating wealth. What does China get out of it? Markets - a place to sell the products the make. That is quite a bit different from the western policy of enriching despots, plundering mineral wealth and leaving the countries to fester and rot.

      Huh? Okay you’ll need to provide some evidence if you’re saying it’s anything as neocolonial as what France is doing to these countries.
