It's an explanation for why humanity seems unable to break free from the the enslavement of corrupted authoritarian systems...

Guess you are from the US and right now, the US seems a hegemony emerging globally into a war drum beating pariah
Like it or not, global communities prefer Chinese and Russian subjugation over US and Western subjugation
Bleat against me as you wish but, seems many people are over the way of the West. the Ukraine war has allowed many to flee the Western grip that has held them so tight due to the MiIC threats, grip
Ask yourself, what are Russia and China offering?

Lotta folks saying china has won, china has a belly full of problems themselves they may end up not even top dog in brics let alone the world.

Economic problems (top 2 real-estate firms defaulting), food problems, water problems, population problems, cities sinking, rocks being pushed out of the ground, severe flooding, beijing blowing dykes so small tows flood and bejing can dry out, so angry people.

Yea the US is in trouble, but so is everyone else, and currently even if Brics tried to say no transit via ocean they couldnt stop the US navy, let alone when we sail with allies.

Russia and China are mainly offering a serfdom of poor living conditions.

Well it won’t be anything different to what they have now, will it?

How much money has the West given to Africa and what was the cost
How much have China and Russia given, what was the cost
I know you don’t know, your comment indicates as much

Africa are prepared for war against France, why do you think that is
If you could, just for 1 minute, stop thinking that the West has been serving Africa and are instead exploiting Africa, just imagine that
Now just imagine why Africa would embrace Russia and China

It seems, China and Russia have more respect by African people than the West

So your frypan to fire is irrelevant, Africa will align their economy with Russia and China, because they get better treatment at this stage

That doesn't bode well for the western world. I was just reading last night that 20 nations are wanting to join BRICS.

I'm not sure of China's intentions. Like America, they seem to prefer to be dominant and won't likely be satisfied with being an equal.

The western world wants a OWO, while the others don't. I think we all know what's eventually going to happen.
WW3 is coming.
Due to the Ukrainian war , Europe , Japan , America & Russia have increased their military budgets by astronomical amounts.
Once the new toys are ready , it’s go time

Well , if Africans thought the white Europeans were horrible , wait until they get a taste of Chinese brutality.

Who knows, they may not be as bad as the West has proven to be

They all have a track record. All of them. I'm trying to understand this mindset so many people have about choosing between the lesser of two evils. It's not just you. We have it here in the U.S. too concerning our political parties. When you're making choices like this, you compromise yourself. You do realize this, don't you?

Yes but, Africa needs money, needs investors, not much choice for them
The West has plundered Africa for centuries, China and Russia, not so much, yet, to be seen

Prediction: BRICS expansion phase 2 might include Indonesia. That would also bring the Malacca strait choke point under the BRICS umbrella. As with phase 1 that brings the strait of Hormuz under potential BRICS control the geopolitical implications are huge. Expect Indonesia to become much more present in western MSM headlines. Indonesia will want to gain maximum advantage from this situation and will both be courted and threatened from multiple sides.

Indonesia globally ranks 4th by population (280 million). It's economy is ranked 16th by GDP and 7th by PPP and is projected to further climb (rank 4 in the most optimistic scenarios). We will hear A LOT about Indonesia in the coming months and years.

I strongly suggest you do just a quick google, last few years between 40-50 billion a year in aid from the US alone.

The difference between our aid and China's, the US doesnt demand it be paid back with interest and if you miss a payment you have to turn over something in your country as anyone that partakes in the belt and road initiative.

*shrugs* thats said they are free to follow where they want, but lets be honest this isnt being decided by the people of africa its being decided by the govt that is being paid to do this.
