Have you seen that video where Xi Jinping and Putin shake hands and basically announce that they intend to upend the existing global order, meaning US “rules based” hegemony?
Russia itself isn’t a threat but so far it’s brought together China, Iran and parts of Africa that are done with US colonization and living under the US’ boot.
China has its own imperial ambitions in Africa. There’s no good super power, but at the end of the day, Russia was the one that invaded Ukraine. No amount of RT propaganda will change that.
Of course they do. Just because I’m critical of the West I’m not automatically in favor of other autocratic regimes. But it’s been a long time since I’ve seen that many African leaders standing up to their Western oppressors and that wouldn’t happen if the Chinese/Russians and their deals would be as terrible for Africans as the Western ones. They’re openly challenging the West right now and it’s about time that happened.
I trust that China/Russia are more trustworthy in terms of letting other countries decide their own fate without engaging in regime change/color revolution style interference just based on historical precedence so far.
