RE:RE:DisdainThat's hilarious Boris. Not one country on earth, never mind African countries, have any delusions whatsoever what replacing Americans with Russians means. Capitalism may not be perfect but it sure beats a mafia inspired kleptocracy. The Russians will take everything they can and leave a war torn country destroyed by civil war. The Americans will at least build an occasional school, hospital, and bring in Oprah to cheer everyone up. Russia has no interest unless there are resources and wealth to plunder. They avoid places like Burundi,Eritrea, Sudan,and most of africa because there is nothing to plunder and millions of hungry mouths.
