Oh no westies are mad about losing control over their colonies.
Colonialism is terrible because it deprived people from their right to self determination.
But somehow, when Russia organizes a coup against a democratically elected government in the 21st century, this is totally fine. Oh, yogthos, the public display of your cognitive dissonance is a wonder to witness day after day :)
There is zero evidence for your conspiracy theory that Russia is organizing coups, while there is plenty of evidence that these are popular coups against western repression. You are a shameless propagandist, and one of the most dishonest people I’ve had the displeasure of interacting with on this site. Here’s what’s actually going on in Africa for people reading this thread https://peoplesdispatch.org/2023/09/02/niger-and-the-sahel-are-pushing-back-against-insecurity-exploitation-and-france/
Boy isn’t this the pot calling the kettle black. 4 yr old account with 9k posts all of them being propaganda. Literally on here posting thrice a day EVERYDAY (not counting his pupet accounts). And it’s all propaganda.
There is zero evidence
Did you miss the whole article at the top of this thread, and detailed analysis it refers to? I’ll make it even simpler for you and save you one click:
The onus of the proof is on you to debunk this paper as fallacious, and I’d love to read your take on it.
The rest of your comment is just insults and doesn’t bring anything to the argument.
Unironically the coup has given the people more self determination than being a Neo-colony. Democracy in those countries generally have just Europeans or Americans voting for the government instead of the people. And western Africa specifically has been exploited by France on record even after colonialism “ended”.
Microsoft… Threat Analysis Center??
Since when does Microsoft cover geopolitics? Why is the software/video game company talking about coups in Africa?
I would say is “what is Russia trying to do start WW3?” But then I have to stop myself because as a USA citizen my country has done and still does the same things. It just feels like the point of governments and society is so we can collectivly find better solutions to our problems not to topple other societies for our own gain.
You think Russia is toppling African countries for its own gains? It’s far more likely that it’s providing material support for anti-imperialist and decolonial movements in order to open up more fronts that the North Atlantic has to deal with.
You think Russia’s national self-interest isn’t served by anti-imperialist movements bogging down the North Atlantic?
Microsoft has a threat analysis center?
