Yeah. While I'm disgusted by the Kremlin and CCP, I hope their efforts to undermine neocolonialism are effective in some ways. Especially reigning in transnational corporations.

That is one thing, but I think it's better not to dangle Africa over the fire pits of military intervention excuses. It went horribly bad for most continents. Broadscale alignment with Russia might be enough to trigger some onlooker that means to do them harm.

Escalation from Saudis for instance.
