- CNN's Erin Burnett and former US ambassador to Russia John Sullivan discuss Russian President Vladimir Putin's strategy in Africa. #CNN #News
Russia treats us like EQUAL partners, with respect!
Do you know how racist and xenophobic russians are??
It is because they think that anyone with power will exploit the weak. China and Russia have beneficial agreements for BOTH parties. Western elites are obnoxious.
For now they do because they have to upend Western influence there. Be careful though. No outsiders genuinely want what's best for you. And Russia played a part in the destruction of much of West African society when it spanned uo through North Africa, Spain, and Portugal.
It's kinda too early to judge, ask Ukraine
@@MD-sl7ms No. This has been going on for centuries, almost 400 years ago. Even before the formal start of theScramble forAfrica in the early 1800s, and the Berlin conference in 1884.
Peter the Great, in the 1600s, freed and adopted anEnslavedAfrican child Abram Petrovich Gannibal, the poet Pushkin's great grandfather - who had beenKidnapped by the Ottoman-Turks from Logone-birni. Abram became his godson, after he baptised him along with Queen Christiana Ebergardina of Poland, wife of King Augustus II as godmother.
The-Tsar raised himand spent more time with him than his other two living biologicalchildren - Alexei and Elizabeth. Abram rose to become an Aristocrat, and the legendary General in Chief and Chief Military Engineer of theRussianEmpire (born 1696 - 14 May 1781).
Who assigned the US GOVERNMENT to be world police.

These devils are shameless!

@passurlamer CNN is messing with ur brains...wake up
As an African, I have better regard for Russia than I have for the USA. Russia helped us during our darkest times, and YOU westerners caused those darkest times!
Now they're calling them terrorists because they don't want America military in Africa...I don't blame them
African countries can decide for themselves who they want to be friend with. America should not be telling other countries who is good or bad for them. If Africa want to be friends with China and Russia, it is their right.
Just don't come crying later that your resources are being stolen by Russia and China or that your people are being forced to go fight in a foreign land for these evil nations.
Absolutely 💯!

But I could name countless colonies that the so-called free democratic countries of the West have had and ruthlessly exploited for centuries on a row without any concerns for the needs of local populations of those states upon which an extremely significant portion of the so-called "golden billion" prosperity is based on. So I don't know what you're meaning by saying Russian imperialism??!!!
@@Universe198025 Russia has oppressed all of Eastern Europe and the Caucasus in colonial form. It invaded Georgia, attacked Ukraine, crushed uprisings in Prague with tanks and walled in half of Germany for 30 years. It helped Assad in Syria bombing its own citizen with barrel bombs, supports dictators in Venezuela, Nicaragua or Africa, uses its Wagner group to comit war crimes etc.
France needs to pay Haiti the 21 billion they owe the Haitians. That would be a good start. There is quite a history .There and all over Africa..This is not good time for the countries that stole from African people throught Colonization. There is new world order now .Called BRICS.

America full of African-American origin people, question of Africa and it's Natives, have significant influence on American culture in general... the way their were doing business before, now ... lets not forget Africa is a country of foreign interests for many countries even Soviets had their share over that region... wondering why he is not on coastal line as Soviets were!?
You are right❤
Russia will be brutal rulers.
I don’t blame African nations for turning to Russia for a better deal. I blame the current administration for letting it get to this point in the first place.
Yes, I picked on that comment. The arrogance of the US is appalling. I hope all of Africa kicks out the colonial West.
Tell Americans to leave our African's natural resources alone .
Yeah. Because. Russia is not playing dirty games with African countries .

Can this man mention one Hospital or Road that the US built in Nigerien for the passed 10years or more that the US has been occupying that part of world? There is no evidence of such. So why the noise?
The US has been given a lot of aid to Niger and the continent as a whole. The Putin blame game is nonsense here because the roots of this problem come from the Libya destruction and the French colonial behavior, which I believe was terrorism. Is Russia undermining the US ? Yes, it does, but that's not the case. If US needs to reset it foreign policy in order to compete with China & Russia in the Global South.
Cuz "Bad Rosha guna toke minerales and moke t'reat to great Ynaited Stotes"
And yet China has built roads and hospitals here, and the debt we owe to them as a result is so little compared to US dealings. Hopefully Russia will behave similarly. But in any case, the US has been expIoiting our continent for too long.
@@Dboy20245they just started a relationship, what do you expect? A bridge being built in a second? How stupid are you?
Since 2001 the u.s. government has given Niger $262 million for food and emergency aid. In 2021 they donated a field hospital costing $1.6 million. In 2022 a u.s. government agency (MCC), Benin, and Niger proposed a grant that would improve transportation and the cost between port of Cotonou and Niamey. This same agency provided $442 million in water sustainability programs to Niger.
I was unable to find ANY support from Russia to Niger, except that they have been in negotiations for aid since January 2024.
Americans think the entire earth is to be under its supervision
The u.s, not Americans, because there is central and South America too...
Expropriate their resources hahaha. When France was getting it for free, it was never an issue.

Stolen from Africa.
They can get it from there friends Israel lmao😂😂

They don't think Putin is better for the country, they know he isn't, they know he will keep them in power while the people get shafted.
Good luck with Russia.

@@sidahagarwal742 Firstly, China extracts its own resources from African countries. Secondly, why would Russia sell African resources to China, if Russia wants to sell their own? Russia only has frenemies, so the logical conclusion is to prevent African resources from getting to market to reduce to supply and raise prices for their sales.
Create a problem and provide a solution..You gotta love the U.S Army
Hahaha
I am impressed even americans themselves started realize that US gov is so hypocrite and untrustworthy

Thats the Biden WH strategy - create a problem with their failed policies then come up with a solution that has more pork in it than China has rice!
"provide" isn't in the US vocabulary. Only "Overprice and sell the flawed solution, then sell add-ons to fix it properly"
Ya'll see what they've done to Haiti 🇭🇹, they sucked it dry. Mine you Haiti has a lot of Uranium, but some how magically the country is still poor... 🤔
That part!
They pay French due to the lost of slaves that they lost during the way so they pay
It’s a curse. The people of Haiti are the tribe of Levi.YAH told the Israelites CURSE ye be in the cities. That’s why in America “blacks”are in the ghettos living in the worst of conditions. Same with Haiti same with Mexico and other Latin America countries. And parts of Africa where my people lives in these conditions. Curse ye be on the field. Is why my people in middle and South America that was already here was colonized and forced to labor in the fields. Scriptures told us 1000s years ago that this will happen to us if we disobey YAH commandments. But we wanted to follow the ways of the other nations therefore we caused this upon ourselves.
American Red Cross raised 1 BIL. for Haiti back in 2010 *where did that money go ?
Yes Haiti paid France , over 40 billion USD.

NOBODY is gonna like that Ambassador. If Russia is willing to lend us money with better interests, help with our security, we'd strike deals with them. If you don't like it then do better. We need a fair deal with you, if we can't get it, I'm afraid we'll look for alternatives elsewhere. Africa will not be IRAQ!

Lend? That’s not good. How about bring manufacturing jobs. African wages is low enough to pay workers $100 a month then export the cars. That’s what China did and now look a Superpower.

Never interrupt your enemies if they are about to make some mistakes.

Now the US can’t fool the entire World anymore.🤷♂️
The way he was describing Wagner gave me flashbacks about Blackwater as an American private military contractor operating in Iraq back in the Bush-era.
