Firstly, Ethiopia is under US sanctions while Vietnam is not. And speaking of former French colonies, Haiti was the first to get independence (1804) and is still one of the poorest countries in the world because of the debt they had to take on to gain independence (it took them until 1947 to fully repay it!). Whereas, New Caledonia is still a French colony and is neither rich nor poor.

"If colonialism were the answer to why Africa is poor..."

This line completely ignores the European powers' (and US) post-colonial control over Africa. Patrice Lumumba, the first democratically elected leader of the DRC, was tortured and killed by Belgium and the US for being a nationalist. His body was dissolved in acid so he wouldn't become a martyr. His legacy is largely unknown even within the continent. Several other such "lessons" were meted out. Google Thomas Sankara (Burkina Faso) and Sylvanus Olympio (Togo).

Once you set the example, you gain obedience. The VietCong, on the other hand, didn't surrender even though 3 million Vietnamese died during the war, and several thousand more continue to die to this day (!) from Agent Orange exposure.

As for former French colonies in Africa, France still controls their currency and holds their central bank reserves in France. As Rothschild purportedly said, "permit me to issue and control the money of a nation, and I care not who makes its laws."

Third, the borders in Africa were drawn in such a way that conflict was inevitable. At the Berlin Conference in 1884-85, the European powers simply carved up the continent by drawing straight line borders. African leaders were conspicuous only by their absence at this historic event which shaped the next century. This is why Cameroon, a French-speaking country, has a minority English-speaking territory, ensuring it remains destabilized. Likewise for West Asia/the Middle East, where the Sykes-Picot legacy lives on.

@magattew conflates formal colonial rule with colonial control. Vietnam managed to fully kick out both France and the US, reunified the North and the South, and kept its sovereignty. All African leaders who attempted the same have been systematically eliminated (see Muammar Gaddafi, Libya's divisive leader, for a recent example), ensuring Africa forever bears the open wounds of its colonial legacy.

But Ms. Wade is right on one thing: Vietnam owes its prosperity to overcoming colonial rule. Maybe Africa can become prosperous if Africans do the same.

[Chetuya Chinagolum @Chetuyachinago]

Americans talk as if AIPAC is the only lobby group in the United States buying off their Congress.

AIPAC spends just $3.5 million per year on direct lobbying. In stark contrast, foreign nations like Japan, Saudi Arabia, and China all spend at least $40 million each per year to aggressively lobby lawmakers, dictate US trade policy, and manipulate public opinion.

American defense contractors like Raytheon, Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, General Dynamics, and Boeing spend well over $200 million per year on direct lobbying. If you add the dark money flowing from the oil majors like Chevron and ExxonMobil, that figure easily skyrockets past $350 million. We are not even going to consider the astronomical billions that the Silicon Valley tech empires, the monopolistic food conglomerates, Wall Street asset managers, and Big Pharma all spend to completely capture regulatory agencies, dictate domestic legislation, and monopolize global markets. Yet, the public is brainwashed to believe that it is the mere $3.5 million AIPAC spends that is somehow unilaterally dictating America's entire foreign and domestic policy. Is this line of reasoning not the absolute pinnacle of modern political stupidity?

Even the money being sent to Israel, which totals over $320 billion in historical foreign aid, is absolutely not sent to them as raw cash to spend however they want. The money is legally bound and awarded strictly as guaranteed contracts to US corporations. This is the equivalent of billions of taxpayer dollars going directly into the pockets of the US defense industry to supply the Israeli military with F-35 stealth fighters, Apache attack helicopters, Hellfire precision missiles, and Iron Dome interceptor batteries. This exact same ruthless line of reasoning applies to the massive contracts handed out to the food, logistics, and pharmaceutical industries. American foreign aid is nothing but a massive, taxpayer-funded corporate wealth transfer scheme. This is exactly why these multinational corporations pay politicians to lobby for endless foreign interventions and military aid packages, because it provides them with billions of dollars in guaranteed government contracts and violently opens up new global markets for them to flood with their products.

Of course, American influencers like Cenk Uygur, Joe Kent, Tucker Carlson, Candace Owens, and the rest of the performative outrage merchants all know and understand this imperial mechanism perfectly well. But they will never admit it publicly, because exposing the military-industrial complex is not among the primary assignments given to them by their billionaire paymasters and establishment handlers. Their only job is to redirect your legitimate anger and absolute disgust for American imperialism toward disposable client states and proxy colonies such as Ukraine, Israel, and Saudi Arabia.

This is exactly what their legacy media aggressively validates. All of a sudden, the narrative is that Bibi Netanyahu forced poor, helpless America to attack Iran. They claim it is the Saudi Crown Prince who is begging Donald Trump to continue bombing Tehran. They spin fairy tales that America desperately wants to pull out through Pakistan peace talks, but Israel maliciously attacks Lebanon just to spoil the diplomatic process. All of a sudden, they claim Trump is begging Zelensky to come to the negotiating table for peace, but Zelensky is supposedly stubborn and independently decides to bomb Russian gas plants, launch rogue drone strikes deep into Moscow, and sabotage critical energy pipelines. These are the mind-numbing, insulting stories they want you to swallow. They genuinely expect you to believe that the mighty American empire is being blindfolded, blackmailed, and controlled by these much smaller nations to do their geopolitical bidding, all for a pathetic $3.5 million paid to US politicians per year.

But what the mainstream media and these paid influencers will never reveal to you is that these attacks and military missions carried out by Israel, Ukraine, and the rest of the American vassal states are physically and logistically impossible without direct permission and coordination from Washington. For Ukraine to successfully attack Russia, they critically need US military intelligence companies like Palantir to crunch the massive data sets and develop precise targeting packets. They absolutely need American satellite telemetry to bypass advanced Russian electronic warfare. They need US AWACS reconnaissance aircraft to monitor the airspace, they need encrypted communication terminals for secure battlefield logistics, and they need the Pentagon to physically greenlight the use of long-range ballistic missiles before a single button is ever pushed.

They will never tell you this truth because their job is not to expose Israel, nor is it to fight for the human rights of the Palestinians, the Iranians, or the Ukrainians. Their singular, highly paid job is to permanently shield the American empire from direct public aggression and outbursts. They are hired to act as shock absorbers for the ruling class, ensuring that your righteous anger is always directed at the disposable puppets rather than the imperial puppeteers pulling the strings.

French Islamophobic white woman I met at Uni who used to want ban hijabis in Goldsmiths University all idolised her. Satrapi own Iranian friends who survived the Washington Imposed war (when Germany provide Gas to gass 1000s of Iranians to death) disowned her - when they saw how coopted she and what she become. She did more to reinforce stereotypes and prejudices against Muslim women, the Shia heartlands, sovereign nations of West Asia than anyone in the Reading Lolita in Tehran industry. The Piers Morgan worldview is underlined by this type of work of the Vatanforoosh.

Her elite wealthy experience with House servants who couldn't read or write is usually the only story ever told of the revolution. Like the Miami Cubans and Florida Venezuelans. We in the West never hear the stories of the 65% illiterate women under the Shah whose daughters went to become to become the STEM powerhouse 65% graduates (compared to 19% in Germany) who developed the missiles that were fired back at the genocidal Zionist entity.

That being said, her graphic style and many other illustrations when she wasn't just stereotyping for White saviours were quite good.

I have a depressive affective disorder and suicidal issues myself but sadly have no heart for her left.

"Satrapi’s account does not provide anything close to a nuanced perspective of why Iranians took to the streets in droves to overthrow a colonial puppet regime and shatter the iconography associated with it. What she does provide is a look at the revolution from the eyes of an ethnically elite Iranian residing in France, in Satrapi’s case, and addressing audiences in former colonial centers where her memoir continues to garner enthusiasm (Ansari and Parillo 122). Yet again, class tensions within Iran and larger colonial dynamics outside Iran inform the anti-Western sentiment seen during the 1979 revolution and the smashing of Western consumer products."

[Chetuya Chinagolum @Chetuyachinago]

The kidnappings and brutal murder of school children and teachers in Oyo and other states of the federation have absolutely nothing to do with Islam or the teachings of Prophet Mohammed.

The reason our women and school children in Oyo are forced to sleep in the forests for weeks and are ruthlessly tortured by rag-tag militias is not because of Jihad or Islam or whatever nonsense propaganda the media wants you to believe. The real reason is simply because Oyo state is heavily blessed with massive, unmined deposits of Uranium, highly sought-after lithium, pure gold, and rare earth gemstones.
Now, the good people in Oyo State who are the primary victims of this manufactured insecurity, who are forced to sleep in total darkness and depend on highly expensive diesel just to sustain their petty businesses, may not be aware that they have enough uranium buried right under their feet to build nuclear reactors that could comfortably power the entire country for the next three hundred years.

But this local ignorance is completely insignificant in the ruthless geopolitical arena. Nigerians may very well be kept ignorant, but the Western nations who desperately need this uranium to power their massive industrial grids and nuclear submarines are absolutely not ignorant. The struggling youth in Oyo may not care about the raw gold beneath their soil, but the ruthless financial cartels in Dubai and Switzerland who melt, refine, and launder these blood minerals for American dollars are very much interested in them. The educated middle class in Nigeria, who would rather abandon their country and reduce themselves to overworked cleaners, taxi drivers, and caregivers in Canada and the UK instead of violently challenging the oppressors who have captured their state institutions, may very well be ignorant of the existence of huge deposits of lithium scattered all over the country. But the Silicon Valley conglomerates who desperately need these precious stones and rare earth elements for the new Apple M-series neural chips, Tesla electric vehicle batteries, and advanced military microprocessors are very much interested in these minerals. They will do absolutely anything to violently lift it out of the ground in Africa and ship it directly to their high-tech research labs overseas.

This is exactly why whenever there are sudden insecurity challenges such as mass kidnappings, brutal terror attacks on schools, and massacres at worship centers, there are always massive illegal mining activities running quietly in the background shadows. Indeed, in this year alone, almost forty people including heavily funded foreign nationals have been arrested by our local security agencies on strict charges related to illegal mining. Even a massive convoy of seven heavy-duty trucks loaded with raw uranium and lithium ore was intercepted and seized by state security forces just this year alone in Oyo state.
The terror activities are definitely not a holy jihad. They execute these bloody campaigns to install absolute, paralyzing fear in the local population and violently chase them away from their ancestral lands. Once the villages are emptied, these foreign companies and their local political enforcers can then seamlessly move in with their heavy drilling equipment, excavators, and chemical processors to extract these precious stones to power their trillion-dollar corporate empires.

The brainwashed recruits who physically carry out these terror attacks on their behalf may very well tell their traumatized victims that it is a Fulani agenda to Islamize Nigeria. They may very well release highly edited, pre-recorded videos claiming how these terror attacks are done to honor the teachings of Mohammed. But you must understand that these are all carefully constructed psychological operations and cheap propaganda.

What foot soldiers believe they are fighting for is completely irrelevant. Those ideologies are merely fairy-tale stories created to condition them psychologically to sustain the brutal war efforts for their hidden masters. For example, if George Bush had told the American troops the honest truth, that they all needed to go to the desert and die simply so that American defense contractors and oil majors could make an extra hundred billion dollars in corporate profits, they would have all dropped their rifles and badges and immediately renounced their duties. In the worst-case scenario, they would have stormed the White House, dragged the president out of the Oval Office, poured kerosene on him, and lit him on fire. So obviously, this truthful tactic will never work for any empire.

So instead, these gullible American troops were fed the lie that they were fighting a global "terror regime" that was secretly building weapons of mass destruction to wipe out humanity. This total change of narrative is crucial because the soldiers need to see themselves not as disposable, brainwashed tools fighting for corporate profit margins, but as heroic freedom fighters working for global peace and democratic stability. But at the end of the day, when you ignore the political speeches and simply follow the money trail, you get to understand what is truly happening. When Iraq violently fell, their sovereign gold reserves were immediately loaded onto armored trucks and shipped to the US to be deposited securely into the vaults of Citi Bank and the Federal Reserve, the uranium and critical aerospace assets were seized and transported to hidden military black sites, and the massive Iraqi oil fields were forcefully cleared of their local owners and drilling monopolies were permanently awarded to Halliburton, ExxonMobil, and Chevron.

The exact same imperial logic applies to the bandits and terrorists currently ravaging our rural communities. They may very well look you in the eye and tell you that they want to establish a pure Islamic state. But when the indigenous people are successfully uprooted from their resource-rich communities after relentless kidnappings, systemic torture, and public executions, the very same foreign conglomerates that secretly supply these terrorists with their thermal surveillance drones, high-grade military gear, encrypted satellite phones, and untraceable black-market cash quickly move in and start extracting these resources to be shipped overseas.

Wars are never genuinely fought on the superficial grounds of religion or ethnicity. They are, and have always been, ruthlessly fought over land, resources, and money.
In the case of Nigeria, Salafi Wahhabi Islamic ideology is what they use to brainwash and recruit most of the foot soldiers for this neo-colonial imperial plunder of Africa.

[Helyeh Doutaghi | حليا دوطاقي @Helyeh_Doutaghi]

The US no longer seek legal justification for its actions. This is what’s different from before in Afghanistan and Iraq and beyond --the abandonment of even the performative adherence to international legality signals a crisis of hegemony.

It is precisely within this rupture that Iran’s actions in the Strait of Hormuz must be situated. International law has never been external to power; it has been historically produced through encounters of imperial/powerful states. The so-called “War on Terror,” for instance, redefined the temporal and spatial limits of war not through consensus, but through the unilateral capacity of the United States to impose a borderless battlefield.

What we are witnessing now is a partial inversion of that process. Iran’s enforcement of regulatory authority in the Strait is not merely a legal claim—it is a materially grounded practice, enabled by its capacity to project force in a geographically strategic chokepoint. Law here does not precede power; it is articulated through it.

Iran’s position is effective not because it is legally unassailable in the abstract, but because it is backed by the means (force) to enforce a particular interpretation of maritime governance.

[Write Brain TV @WriteBrainTV]

We did a deep dive on Pol Pot. And it’s a lot better than this post. He was a fake communist. Grow up. Mao made mistakes occasionally - it wasn’t actually a mistake tho strategically. Mao employed a non interventionist approach & has someone that was basically his biggest fanboy at a border.

John Pilger has done a lot better work via year zero than your slop ass post. We’ll put our investigation into the entire history of this over your lazy “no communists I like ever had a bad take corny shit.” Mine as well go get yourself a mao lighter on eBay. Pol Pot WAS a communist & an academic. He changed.

The difference is he didn’t have sone
Changes due to a well founded paranoia about being taken out - or assassination attempts - Nixon had no problem with Pol Pot. Furthermore- you insult all the names you put him beside. He was an ally to Mao.

But he changed by the time he reached power. Not after. He wanted to create the perfect society. Why don’t you debate Kevin on this subject - throw up $500 for your fav charity & let the public decide. Because this post is simplified slop. Find one piece of artwork made without a gun to someone’s gun head glorifying pol
Pot.
