It’s been a tumultuous month for France and its relationship with former colonies in Africa, as its influence on the continent faces the biggest challenge in decades.
Well an important take here is that these nations are turning towards Russia because their mercenaries don’t hold back against the islamists out of concern for collateral damage. For France, that’s much more of a PR thing that they can’t be seen shooting and raping as much. And for China… Interesting snippet from Cablegate was that even US diplomats were shocked by the lack of remorse or ethics shown by the Chinese in trying to get their hands on African resources. So I guess we’ll see lol
Ah yes, it must be… Russian propaganda that China uses business deals instead of raping, enslaving, and colonizing like the West did… And you’re claiming this under a story where the oppressed populations just keep telling the former colonizers to get the fuck out or die; not a story of them kicking out China.
Well I hoped you could back up your claim that the Chinese are paying more for African resources “than all western corpos combined” but I guess you primarily want to type some ‘strong man’ language instead lol

“lack of remorse or ethics” = paying African nations more than all western corpos combined for the same resources?
Yeah I’m sure you’ve got the books lying in front of you right now and not just relying on some vague propaganda from the usual sources wink

Generally I found more sensible people on Lemmy but I guess not everyone is that logical here 🤷
