@NeonPurpleStar @nullagent whatever. if they want russian mercenaries to enslave and murder them, let them have what they want.there's much more to gain by establishing friendly, strong and long-lasting relations with African democracies.Let's ditch any imperialist mindset and start to treat African countries like any other country.

@NeonPurpleStar @nullagent I know. But if they choose russia, I think the choice must be respected.Africa is big and diverse."the West" is losing opportunities by treating it as a big blob, instead of focusing on reliable partners.Dictators like "President" Deby, son of "President" Deby (which stayed in power for 30 years straight - talk about coups! 🙄 ) is really not reliable.I don't want to have anything to do with shit like that, as anyone who values human rights and democracy should.

@elCelio @nullagent ok, but the answer to this question is not simplethink of syria, hollande wanted to intervene from 2014 in favour of the rebels and obama stopped himthe rebels have now won and can build a free and democratic society, but would it have been better if we had saved all those decimated by the assad regime during the last 10 years?

@jberg @NeonPurpleStar @nullagent Ghana complains about russia but not about the French.what you don't see are West African military dictatorships complain about russia, because they like the dictatorship part of it.

@elCelio @NeonPurpleStar @nullagent Ghana broke free of colonial rule in the late 50s. Look at the history of colonial liberation movements across the world: they always had a dictatorship and the liberalization process came after shaking off their colonial powers.

@jberg @NeonPurpleStar @nullagent I prefer to look at Ghana (and at Chad) now, not at when my parents weren't even born.Fellow democracies should support each other, whatever the continent.

@nullagent @jberg @NeonPurpleStar @elCelio “russia” and “invited” seems like either extreme naivety or whitewashing.And no, being «invited» by some murderous authocrat is shit for an excuse.

@richlv @nullagent @jberg @NeonPurpleStar @elCelio Exactly, naivity at its best. Russia was "invited" to my country, too, they stayed for 40 years and it was not particularly good experience. Russia comes there to exploit, nothing else. France has a terrible colonial past, but is at least a tiny bit held accountable by its democratic system, the Russian regime is accountable to no one.
