re: Niger sends Russian military to kick US troops out of military base

It was just business to the British and Dutch East India Companies too. And to the French, Spanish, Germans, Belgians, Portuguese and Italians. No one started on “empire”. It always starts with “just business”. There is no sustainable way of doing business with tribal societies that lack the sophistication necessary to make anyone money long term. They’re going to do tribal things and burn it all down eventually—to their own detriment.

Except they colonized those countries, stole their resources, tax them and set it back home, and created societies where they lived in lavish and made the locals live as second class in their own country.


So yea I would expect that shite not to work either
