Putin’s ‘manipulative' charm offensive in Africa falters 

Ah, just ask them whose world vision is the best one. They'll set themselves apart again.

Stop providing aid then if there are political conditions attached.

Yes the US should do that… only after trying to WARN them… If they don’t listen then the US can do whatever it wants.

Aid in fact is part of the problem

"What is right" replacing "might is right", so that the world this century is not dragged into a world war or century of wars or human induced famines. Russia has lost wars amongst its 186 or so wars in the last thousand years. The USSR collapsed through its own internal problems following a lost ten year war against Afghanistan.

russia is an ethno-dictatorship with the regime constantly hating on anything that isn't white, Christian and straight.

@@Robert-xy4xi I think the difference is that the "far right" in Ukraine is limited to 1-2% of the population and has no power. The "far right" in Russia has much power and is currently determining Russian policy which is to restore the "empire" of former USSR territory. Read Aleksandr Dugin "Foundations of Geopolitics" 1997. Ukraine voted by 92% to be independent in 1991, the ultranationalist are sore about this and say Ukraine and the other former USSR republics which chose independence are fake and illegitimate countries. Ukraine saw many millions of people deliberately killed by USSR policies, chose not to continue to be a puppet of a similar regime which wants to restore its empire. Some weeks ago some ethnic minorities were playing football on a slavic football pitch, they were rounded up to be sent to the war front. Much of the eastern block were very racist, when Obama was President Putin looked down on him because of his race. Ukraine is trying to emerge from a corrupt and racist USSR past. Russia embraces corruption and sees the slavic race as superior. It courts Africa for geopolitical reasons, but really it is the last empire wanting to rebuild its empire.

African in Ukraine were ever treated worst than in Russia lol . The most racist countries in eastern europe are Poland Baltic states and ... Ukraine

Precisely, everything about Russia is imperial - the lands they conquered and the republics they have held by force and continue to hold by force. Evolution stopped at the borders of Russia hence whey the delusional revanchist nonsense and projection of implerialism. Russia today is the biggest imperial power still around.

They've been brainwashed into beliving that with their hearth. Its mindboggling how twisted russians are even the ones considered "civilised"

I think Russia is the only European empire that hasn’t had to come to terms with its imperialism via the loss of vast swathes of its empire. (One might argue that France has had to come to terms, but has so little empire left that it doesn’t matter; but that’s a whole different discussion.)

@@rbb9753Ruzzia pretends that it’s not imperialism when you colonize and annex your neighbors. The only part of Russia that wasn’t conquered and colonized from someone else is the European part north of Ukraine and the Caucasus, and West of the Urals, excluding parts stolen from Finland.

Russia has no word for irony. They accuse us of western imperialism while we are helping countries become independent, at the same time as Putin is empire building. He bribes corrupt African leaders and binds them into contracts that will let Russian oligarchs steal their wealth until there is nothing left to take.

Unfortunately some of them are horrendous too.. to their people.

I don't think Africa cares. Africa sees Russia as an enemy to its enemy's. The Nazis colonized Namibia and killed off 800,000 people, they West sent migrants from the Iraq war into various Central African countries and Western European foreign policy is completely dogshit when considering African countries.

If Ukraine support Neo-Nazis, then pretty much all of Africa is it's enemy. If China supports economic expansion into the region building necessary infrastructure in countries like Ghana, Niger, Angola, Both the Republic and Democratic Republic of Congo, Kenya, Sudan, and aiding Libya after the West under Obama's regime slaughtered 1.5 million people. Western Europe has already made themselves enemies in the region and will most likely be demonized for any involvement their after.

but he is plundering them. His mercenaries force dictators on Africans by massacring any civilian opposing them and then he steals their mines in payment. That is colonialism.

The “charm” part is Putin trying to convince Africans that he’s not plundering them when he obviously is. Same with China.

He is plundering them for all their resources and at the same time blocking the grain imports from reaching them, he's got them between a rock and a hard place

It's a "special sugar-coating-deal, not a heist operation"

then you have an IQ problem...

"free"... you just have to accept a muppet dictator of mine... also, I'll steal your mines and massacre your populations. But don't worry, while I'l remove millions of tons of grain heading your way, I'll offer 10 tons of it... you see, all fine!!

Because they actually went backwards financially.

We are not seeking food security from him. We have sufficient arable land, but some countries can not plant grain due to unsuitable soil. Those are the countries that need Putin's attention. Fortunately, Russia has always been helpful to Africa.

Well they most certainly, are not the sharpest knifes in the drawer

you forget not only in Russia though, but this point is very silly in itself

Why Africans not migrate to Russia and China then? Why migrate to countries that they hate?

And if Russia stops Ukraine from sending you grain, whereas the US and Western countries send food aid if there's a famine and continual donations of foreign aid, would they still continue to believe that?

China is one of the greatest despoilers of African resources. I think you may be cherry picking to suit your bias. I counter, how long will it take sub-saharan Africa to realise good governance? I also assume you are comfortable persecuting LGBTQ communities and violating human rights? I would suggest that Russia will suit you perfectly.

Yet Russia colonised its way to the Pacific Ocean to become the biggest land mass country in the world, and slavery was a part of Russian culture back in those times. If you get a chance, view Russian TV where the presenters are talking empire all the time. Should countries which fairly and democratically voted for independence have that independence taken away again? China has put an entire ethnic or religious faith of a province into detention camps. Is that applaudable? LGBT is only a big issue if you wish to make it. It does not affect "straight" people. It does not undermine society any more than giving women the vote or equal rights, which was not around in former times, and do not undermine society by changing these practices. History stopped the arranged marriages and marrying children off at the age of 8 etc, times changed, societies adapt over time, but at the times of change, people also fear it undermines society, but it does not. It should not be such a big deal on the scale of things. Medical science should advise law in modern times. In the here and now what is right and wrong? What is international law? Should history repeat itself like one bad marriage rebounding into another? Having thrown off one period of colonisation should Africa looking backwards march into a new colonisation? Why did international football matches have such a problem with crowd racism in former Eastern Europe? Is the Slavic race rally the superior race? Some Russians think so. Africa is far away from Europe. Why is Europe so opposed to what Russia has done? Why did former Soviet Block countries choose to join NATO and not CSTO? (Russia's NATO) Why does CSTO not support Russia's invasion of Ukraine? Are these not questions worth asking? Is Russia really a victim? Was it invaded? Were there troops on its borders? I would advise anyone from Africa to research thoroughly what is going on with Russia. What has the Wagner Group being doing on Russia's behalf? Is this not a new form of exploitation?

It's actually strange that France and UK are seen as the prime enslavers, when it is well documented that it were the Kingdom of Dahomey, the Kingdom of Oyo, The Alawite Dynasty and the Ottomans, that hold that place. France and UK were probably the largest customers of slaves, but they really didn't enslave themselves (at least in Africa).

"global left is still centrally controlled from Moscow" what are you on about? Putin has a friend in Trump and the GOP & the Italian far right. Reality seems to be exactly the opposite of what you're claiming doesn't it?

Have you seen the state of the wealth disparity in Russia? If you genuinely think RF maintains Soviet socialist values you are deluded

@@Rock1Music2Luva3The Soviets didn’t maintain those values either. Neither does the CCP. Neither does any communist country. That’s one reason communism doesn’t work. Someone has to have absolute power to keep the little people from accumulating wealth. And that person always makes sure the rules don’t apply to himself and his friends. Ruzzia is still operating under the same old kleptocracy is has for ages. The branding just changes.

💩🤡💩

Really? How come most if not all of them state that a sovereign country's territory must be respected and that Crimea and the annexed territories of Ukraine for example do NOT belong to Russia. This is not implicit, it is explicitly stated. Eg of many reports: "Chinese Ambassador to the EU, Fu Cong has emphasized that China does not acknowledge Russia's annexation of Ukrainian territories and does not provide military aid to Moscow. Fu Cong also stated that China does not recognize Crimea, as well as four other annexed regions of Ukraine, as Russian territory" Does this count as an example of "factual evidence" or is it dismissed as an example of "denial"?
