    the timing of all of this makes it look like russia is trying to distract supporters of ukraine and countries in trouble because of the grain exports slowed down because of russia attacking ports. i wonder what will come out of this chaos

        Pushing Africa against the west and using brutal military contractors to secure resources is something Russia has been engaged in before Ukraine. I don’t think there actions here a 4D chess, just business as usual.

      Why does it have to be Russia? What if this African nation is tired of subsidizing the lifestyle of a foreign power to the detriment of its own people?
