Can anyone estimate the amount of $$$ the U.S. has poured into Africa over the centuries to no avail? I say, let the Russians have it. Maybe they can civilize the place, but I doubt it.
Africans the get civilized, i.e. educated and have economic ability relocate to an entirely different continent. What is the point of building a business or an industry so the thugs can either destroy it or take it away.
Maybe the place has been "civilized" for thousands of years. That is all.
