“Rally In Support Of Russia Held In Democratic Republic Of Congo-AFP”

It didn’t take Putin much effort to win over most of the world, as their governments DO NOT APPRECIATE seeing the LGBT Flag and Drag Queen Contests at our embassies.

The Republic Of Transgendria is a phrase Peter Hitchens used in his column last weekend to describe the state of affairs in the UK.

The West is going in the gutter and fast.

Formerly known as “Zaire”, where Muhammad Ali fought George Foreman.

When asked about what he thought of Africa, Ali remarked, “Thank God my Granddaddy got on that boat!”

Historically, “Democratic Republic” = Soviet puppet state.

Congo has come a long way since MSNBC’s star Joy Reid’s father came from there.
Reid was born Joy-Ann Lomena in New York City. Her father was from the Democratic Republic of the Congo, and her mother a college professor and nutritionist from Guyana. Her father was mostly absent from the family; her parents eventually divorced and her father returned to the Congo. Wikipedia.

I heard many of the people now own those round robot vacuums that move around the dirt floors of their shacks.

Democratic Republic of Congo (aka Zaire), has been a Russian toady for generations. The Soviets were heavily involved there in the 1960s and 1970s and 1980s.

Old habits hang over from the past:
The People’s Republic of the Congo (French: République populaire du Congo) was a Marxist–Leninist socialist state that existed in the Republic of the Congo from 1969 to 1992.

Today it is estimated 5 million Congolese are refugees living in poverty from conflicts with Rwanda, Uganda, Burundi, and various non-state armed groups fueling ongoing fighting.

Can’t blame them. You all know it. Europe grave them their problems so europe’s problems are not theirs. Without France they’d still be eating each other. Our problem?
