Some Africans apparently do appreciate white farmers....

Then just don’t give them crap, let em starve. Problem solved.
Don’t look a gift horse in the mouth.
According to the article: Russia wants to provide 25,000 to 50,000 tons of grain for free in the next three to four months, Putin told [...]
Still only a pittance, to be sure!
Regards,
So they can figure out how to pump oil and not grow a tomato? I’m going to go ahead and call B.S on that racist trope. (Not saying you’re a racist bit the idea that blacks/Africans are inherentlylow IQ is)
They prefer pumping oil? Somehow I think I’m not being given the whole picture.
Maskirovka. It is Russia, who needs the ceasefire. They are on backfoot, near collapse and wish to gather strength before attacking again.
The rest of what the Africans are saying is just domestically popular and meant to legitimize their service to Russia.
Note:
African poor and “rust belt”/Appalachia poor are not comparable;
African poor scrabbles in the dust for a piece of stale bread to live for another day, while “rust belt”/Appalachia poor toss the stale bread and run to the store;
African poor is exotic and “rust belt”/Appalachia poor is beneath notice.
50 tons/50,000 tons is all the same - a whole lot of people starving & giving thanks to Pootie’s generosity.
Read the article...it keeps the meet honest....compared to the excerpt.
Simple, support Russia and China, get food, do not support Russia and China get no food and killed by your military and Wagner Mercenaries. Join the new Russian Empire—and you live. Simple really.
Sure, Africa is the poorest of all the continents. Without a doubt. They lag behind for a variety of reasons. But times are changing. "Food aid" is not helping them develop their agriculture and perhaps when big Agribusinesses invest more, productivity will increase. But "free" will kill any market anywhere.

I found the article with URL below most interesting, because we shopped open air farmers markets in Germany every week, and now here in the states we still buy from some farms, including having picked tomatoes and okra and sweet corn last week. So, there's that.

As you observe "African poor is exotic and “rust belt”/Appalachia poor is beneath notice." Wish it all weren't.
We patronized in Germany and still patronize here open air markets and local farms because we want them to have enough business to prosper. It has the additional feature of side-stepping multi-national Ag. Yeah, we bake our own bread too.
The Black Sea Initiative included the purchase of millions of tons of grain, oils and other AG products from Ukraine...for free distribution in Africa.
They want that arrangement returned.
They do not care where the UN gets the grain.
Russia has said they have an abundance for sale.
But contrary to the original agreement, the UN won’t buy it and SWIFT won’t let Russian AG banks have access to world markets.
Oh yes, the liberals favorite thing to say about Cuba: “I want to see Cuba before the Capitalists mess it up.”
When I was working in a hospital in Niamey, Niger..the villages nearby sold big bags of grain at local markets that were clearly marked “gift from the USA”
We wuz kangz!
The people who think that think Egyptians were Negroes. They aren’t joking or trolling.
Rami Malek was cast to play a Pharaoh for some flick.
It showed a behind the scenes pic of him in costume.
Blacks were commenting about “Why they got a white dude playing an Egyptian?!”
There was a reply of,”Ummm...because he’s Egyptian...”
Followed by responses of Africa is where blacks are from, not white dudes.
It was something to behold.
Who has lower IQs?
Agriculture is no longer labor intensive, as it was in the past. The West continues send Africa their second-hand clothes. We are trying to help them. But we are hurtingthe developmentof their economies when we are doing it.

Yep. Mix in tribalism and voila!
