This is a clear indication of just how thinly stretched the burger empire is at this point.

They are not able to maintain all their fronts, especially with Ukraine and Israel, it requires a lot of military, financial, intelligence and political resources to maintain. And it’s a double-edged sword, the more they try to maintain it, the more things get worse on the domestic front.

Also, AFRICOM is still not fully established and the Axis of Resistance is making moves now before it gets fully established. It’s the weakest dimension of the empire.

How long do you reckon it will take before we see the west try to (fruitlessly) regain control over Africa again?

Will we have to wait until the failure of the ME project or will it come with the failure of Ukraine?

I think that ship might’ve sailed at this point. The west is going into an economic decline, and Africa is developing rapidly. I don’t think there will ever be such a disparity in power between the west and Africa that would allow the west to recolonize going forward.

Blinken in meetings with African nations pretty much admits that the US is too stretched to focus much on Africa. I remember him saying stuff along those lines when the Tigray stuff in Ethiopia started happening.

That’s what it’s looking like, if things escalate with Iran, the US will have to make some pact with Russia.
