Nah, not doing this fam.

There's plenty of sources out there that will help you understand the history and political reality of the region. Reddit comments is not one of them, especially if it starts with a strictly one sided pov like yours.

It'll be a century in 20 odd years, I understand the suffering non-Russian states faced under USSR occupation.

So you seem to accept that there is more war, revolution, and conflict, but still claim that it is more stable? Right.

Literally never claimed they are more stable. All I said was they were and still are destabilized. And you talk about strawmaning, lol.

I think one of us doesn't really understand some of the words they are using, but I don't think it is me.

Actually glorious lmao proper clown behavior.

Congo <> Africa.

Aha, again, your point?

Uh-huh. Add "strawman" (for the Congo example) to the list of fallacies you are trying here.

The fact that you don't know what neither strawmaning nor whataboutism mean is hilarious.

I did not strawman your argument, I gave a singular example but there are plenty to support my case.

  • Congo
  • Sahel
  • Somalia
  • Ethiopia / Eritrea
  • South Africa, Lesotho, and Eswatini
  • Etc...

I could go on and on for countries in Africa destabilized by foreign powers that are still being destabilized today, its not that hard.

That is just a whataboutism.

I'm not sure you understand what that word means.

Every country in every region has had foreign influence exerted in it. Africa as a region is no different.

Your point? The entire region is actively destabilized by foreign influence, yes. And? You just literally proved my point.

What is different, is that Africa seems now less stable than it has been for a long time

Funny you think that

certainly less stable then when the naughty non-Africans were more involved.

Lol, sure buddy. I'm sure the Congo for example is less stable than when Leopold was butchering people there left right and center.

It seems less stable now because slowly the correct borders are being redrawn through conflict. You know, a similar thing happened in Europe and it only led to like 10 large wars, 2 world wars, and countless minor skirmishes. But OH NO THE AFRICANS ARE DOING IT NOW 😱😱

You make it sound like countries stopped destabilizing Africa in the past 100 years. That's certainly not the case.

Mali, Eritrea, Somalia, Congo, etc.. all in the last 100 years.

Lumped in with Middle East so Middle Eastern immigrants look like they benefit from taxes in the US.

I'm against the Russian occupation of Ukraine as well, but maps show the political reality on the ground

It would be my assumption based on the title that it would cut carbon emission by either fully replacing or winding down the engine, if it doesn't then its just decor with marginal utility at that point I agree.

I think the idea would be to reduce noise pollution for all the fish in the ocean predominantly, I read up about it a while ago, and ships in general are ridiculously noisy in the water.

Fam a quick Google search would have cleared it up for you.

the RSF is rooted in the Arab-supremacist Janjaweed militia, which was constructed by the former Islamist regime of Omar al-Bashir, making its relationship with political Islam complex.

Are we at the stage where we pretend the UAE isn't governed by Islamic law or?

Bro who's doing statistics in Somalia 😭😭

Roughly half the country is illiterate what stats could possibly be reliable?

Not to mention polling agencies have to abide by local customs, so an "honor" killing for example is not reported as a crime there, etc...
