President Donald Trump signed an executive order Friday to rebrand the Pentagon as the “Department of War,” telling reporters in the Oval Office it was a more “appropriate” name given the state of the world.
It’s more honest, and a retvrn to its original name. Time to drop the pretense.
Burkina Faso is modernizing incredibly rapidly with the help of China. Also you need to inform them that the west overthrows or assassinates African leaders that don’t sell out their people to western corporations. China does not.
Looking back at my post my choice of words may indicate I think China is bad for Africa; it wasn’t the intent; I absolutely recognize how good China’s relationship with different nations has been. I’m reminded of something a lady in Zambia once said that the VP once went over there, landing in an airport built by China, driven on roads built by China, to give a speech in a venue built by China, about why Africa shouldn’t work with China.
Cooperating with America or really any Western country is just waiting for the knife to stab you in the back; China is not a risky partner in the slightest, and on the contrary has been a phenomenal partner. I recall something I once read about railroads built in Africa; the railroads built by European powers go straight to ports (for wealth extraction), while railroads built in Africa are designed to benefit the nations in Africa.
