Not exactly me, my country would need to have people with some kind of a spine to end up bombed, but you get it.

    Africa is Europe's playground mostly. They never give it much attention, I mean in the talking points and shit, I'm not forgetting Libya and all the previous horrors.

      I'm just worried about Biden trying to pull a Libya 2.0 in Mozambique now that Isis is there. Also US influence is greater than you think, though USAID and other "humanitarian organisations"

        Ah yes, the """NGO"""s full of rich christian blondes that will totally save the world.

          Yes lol, I saw one of the USAID trucks with them pushing for everyone to get circumcised to avoid HIV transmission and some other puritan evangelical bs. Instead of, y'know, doing something useful that actually works, like telling people to use condoms or something similar.

            In my country those NGOs are filled with highclass catholic argies who will totally not end up working for the CIA or similars, no sir.

            But at least they are not spreading that kind of disinformation

              I have a theory that Philip Agee's Catholic conscience/capacity for guilt is part of why the CIA now loves to hire so many Mormons

            Get circumcised to avoid HIV

            They still think they will curb people fucking (ie reproducing) by making the dicks less sensible, at the same time they help spread a horrible disease with disinformation? Real malthusian hours

                In south america evangelical psychos behave the same but are different. They are people from here instead of some idiots from Alabama or Utah.

                I wasn’t familiar with USAID so I checked their site out and this is how they describe themselves on their front page (emphasis in original):

                USAID is the world's premier international development agency and a catalytic actor driving development results. USAID's work advances U.S. national security and economic prosperity, demonstrates American generosity, and promotes a path to recipient self-reliance and resilience.

                They literally, openly state the US imperialism is their first and foremost goal. Fuck this goddam evil country.
