not sapping wealth from developing nations like imperial core countries do

Oh, like Wagner Group is doing in Sudan, Central African Republic, Burkina Faso, etc.? Good to know they're not Russian. Or are you gonna tell me it's fake news by the mainstream media?

The global south may feel relieved now, but they are merely trading western colonialism for eastern neo-colonialism. I hope they realize that before they can regret it, like Kenya is starting to with China.
