France is just on example of what western colonialism is doing to Africa. The core problem is that African countries aren’t allowed to develop in a way that benefits them. Any time countries try to assert their sovereignty and put a government that works in the interest of their people, the west overthrows their government, stages coups, funds terrorists, and if all else fails invades these countries.
This is what happens to people who try to enforce laws against things like child labor in Afirca https://www.africanexponent.com/post/10487-france-has-always-carried-evil-imperialism-with-it
Watching western media coverage of this has been wild. They’re still trying to use euphemisms like evacuation to describe a bunch of nazis laying down their arms and unconditionally surrendering. It’s amazing that there are still people gullible enough to trust western media when they lie about something as blatant as this.
Yeah pretty much, I think US made a huge miscalculation with seizing Russia’s foreign assets. If they’re willing to do it to Russia then they could do it to anyone. Any country that’s not a vassal of the US now knows for a fact that they have to decouple from the western financial system in order to maintain sovereignty. Meanwhile, countries trading with Russia are already figuring out alternatives to SWIFT and as these things get ironed out the role of SWIFT will become greatly diminished.
