    Oh yes, it’s so terrible how Russia is helping countries like Niger and Burkina Faso shake off western colonialism. Cry harder.

        Can’t help themselves is an interesting euphemism for defeating all of NATO in Ukraine.

            It’s obvious to anybody who has even the bare minimum of understanding of what’s happening in Ukraine. Don’t take my word for it though. Here’s what Lt. Col. Alex Vershinin retired after twenty years of service, including eight years as an armor officer with four combat tours in Iraq and Afghanistan and twelve years as a modeling and simulations officer in NATO and U.S. Army, working on concept development and experimentation has to say on the subject:

          that’s the special operation that was supposed to last a couple days a few years ago, right? I haven’t been paying attention. Poopoo still hasn’t made any progress, has he? Weakling

            Do feel free to show a single official statement from Russia to that effect. The fact that you haven’t been paying attention is very obvious. Let’s just see what people with a clue have to say on the subject. https://responsiblestatecraft.org/coalition-of-the-willing-ukraine/

              Nah, you feel free to try to prove me wrong, but you can’t, because you’re backing a weakling lol

                Literally linked you a NATO military expert proving you wrong, but I guess your reading comprehension isn’t so good.

                  Lol try again, you can only link to official NATO government sources if you want to be taken seriously

      There it is. When Russia does it, it’s helping, but when Western countries do it, it’s colonialism. God I hope you’re at least being well paid for your doublethink

        Feel free to provide examples of Russian colonialism in Africa. Last I checked, these kinds of things are happening, where Niger is NATIONALIZING their resources. If Russia was doing what the west was doing, then Niger would have a Russian puppet for a president who’d be selling the country off to Russian corps.

        https://peoplesdispatch.org/2025/06/23/niger-to-nationalize-uranium-to-wrest-control-over-its-resource-from-france/

        Either you’re utterly clueless, or intentionally trying to create a false equivalence to whitewash western crimes against humanity. Either way, you’re a slimy colonizer apologist.
