MODERATORS
I'm amazed at the lengths tankies will go to argue for overthrowing democratically governments and supplanting one colonial power for another one that comes packaged with Wagner and Boko Haram.
Look, it's very simple.
A democracy which cooperates as an unequal partner with capitalist powers = Bad
An autocracy or oligarchy which cooperates as an unequal partner with a different capitalist power = Good
Thanks for coming to my tankie talk
Wagner maybe, but I don't think -- I haven't been closely following the situation, mind -- that Boko Haram and the military coup leaders are particularly friendly. The coup wasn't an Islamist takeover.
It's not an Islamic State takeover but it's hard to imagine they won't be taking advantage of chaos and Niger losing French & US military aid.
Democracy is good no question at that but a corrupt government acting as a proxy to superpowers or rigged elections(russia) are wolfs with a sheeps mask now the wolf has bite another wolf and this will keep happening till they figure out democracy but if outside powers get involved it will be another iraq or iran or afgan.
