“Thanks Joe Biden for your foreign policy prowess.”

Seems to me that the REAL Isolationists have proven to be the Leftists running the United States and Europe (France just got kicked out of Africa once and for all). We don’t invite 40 African countries to the White House because we’d be lucky if 5 of them even bother showing up...but Moscow, ANY TIME!

China and Russia are replicating what Britain, France, Germany, and other Western European nations did in the second half of the 19th Century: colonizing Africa. China makes development loans, and if the African nation fails to repay, China can extend terms if the debtor country agrees to concessions, like mineral rights. Russian forces recently suppressed a rebellion in the Central African Republic, a formerly French colony. Most of Africa, whether Christian or Muslim, is culturally conservative. Neither Russia nor China promotes sexual perversion or radical feminism. African nations need industrial development. Unlike the IMF or World Bank, China and Russia will not insist on green energy or other climate change nonsense.

The Western nations will have to abandon their globohomo and environmental positions if they want to thwart Chinese and Russian advances in Africa and the rest of the Third World.

The Washington Africa Summit was held last December. Basically the same participants. The dIfference is, Biden didn’t offer them anything that they wanted. Just condescension, advice, and woke BS. Russia will be glad to do business with Africa, just as China is doing.

Although there are lines on maps indicating that there are “countries” in Africa what you’ll really find within those lines is a patchwork of competing tribes. The way Russia has been handling Africa is to pick a tribe and make a deal with it. The Wagner group goes in and creates “peace” (meaning it kills off the other tribe) in exchange for a hefty piece of the minerals or oil being extracted. If the US was to pick out a tribal leader and say, “we’ll bomb the snot out of the other tribe in exchange for 25 percent of your take” we’d have all the African leaders you’d like arriving at Ronald Reagan at the appointed time.
