If Russia ever became the natural ally that it should be, between us, them, India , Japan and South Korea we’d have China’s balls pickled, jarred and put up.
People from India used to have a huge presence in East Africa. In many places, they were the educated elite and comprised the entrepreneurial, mercantile and professional classes. They did a lot of the skilled work during the rather short era of European colonialism. A lot of them got chased out after independence as sub-Saharan Africa went on its racist binge.
A lot of Africa would benefit from a healthy dose of “diversity is our strength” reprogramming.
“Gordon G. Chang, an author and commentator”
I used to listen to Gordon Chang on the John Batchelor show. The show was cool. Batchelor had this very portentous way of presenting everything, and in a polished and erudite manner, and Gordon Chang was always saying how this or that major event was just about to happen. Very entertaining. None of it EVER panned out.
