Well, they fought a war about it that proves your opinion is wrong. So there is that.

Why hasn't the US help build a stronger countries in South America? There needs to be opportunity in those countries to keep those bastards there.

The war had nothing to do with their own ability to sustain themselves. Actually, it says way more about the North's ability to survive without the south.

China and Russia are ignoring the lessons learned though, but they’ll suffer the same fate in Africa.

Well, the plethora of data including the North defeating the south, the north flourishing while the south struggled, and continued unequal distribution of wealth is all in conjectures to your stance.

But yeah, you believe it real hard so there is no amount of data that changes your mind.

Reconstruction was intended to cripple the South. It did for a while, but thankfully didn't last.

You seem weirdly fixated on this, for some reason.

Either way, your claim that the collapse of Zimbabwe was like the South after the Civil War is obvious bullshite. Not only did they never reach the abysmal low point that Zimbabwe did, the hardships they did have weren't due to their own incompetence, unlike Zimbabwe.

Slimy deflection swatted away.

The ANC can't keep the lights on and the Egyptians are rolling out antiquated tanks to protect themselves from starving Gazans.

Umm...yes?

It has vast natural resources and an extremely young population that is eager to become middle class. And Nigeria is going to have to be dealt with - by the end of the century, they might have like 900 million citizens.

I’ve always felt this would be Wakanda’s natural role.
