I think that ship might’ve sailed at this point. The west is going into an economic decline, and Africa is developing rapidly. I don’t think there will ever be such a disparity in power between the west and Africa that would allow the west to recolonize going forward.
Personally I think the west is going to try all the same. And it’ll go about as terribly as can be expected, especially with Russia returning to its anti-colonial legacy.
It can be delayed, and perhaps (depending on circumstance) should be, but IMO the imperialists will not go out without trying to take the world down with them. It’s not in their nature, the nature of their ideologies, institutions, etc.
I don’t think they have seen anything over the event horizon either. They can’t make legitimate strategy that involves nuclear annihilation. The risk comes from the fanatics they are cultivating.
The solution will be the same thing that will prevent the USA from being successful in large scale invasion, domestic rebellion. There will not be enough soldiers to fight, there are people who will fight the fanatics to stop a launch. It’s tenuous, but it’s what’s going to happen and when you consider the circumstances, it’s the only way it can happen. The empire has to eat itself.

LOL. Russia is the caveman\gangster kind of colonialist power - their MO is somehow presenting themselves as helpful, killing a few unpleasant people in process, then for some time getting cookies for “trust me bro, I’ll help you when it gets bad”, and then selling that bro to another bro, rinse and repeat.
Also they sometimes directly bully those who give them the middle finger.
I’m guessing between Israel and Ukraine, US is starting to have to cut losses.
How long do you reckon it will take before we see the west try to (fruitlessly) regain control over Africa again?
Will we have to wait until the failure of the ME project or will it come with the failure of Ukraine?

To Africa’s advantage it is young and hungry, while the West is ageing and obese.
Send us the rich, we’ll eat them 💪💪💪
Rich in calories 👍
yeah but much of the calories are in the form of microplastics

It’s going to try, but it’s not 1992 anymore, there are other centers of power and financing in the world.
That’s my biggest worry as well, these people are very much starting a nuclear holocaust once they realize their time as the hegemon is over.

US sliding into civil unrest before it’s able to start a world war is a very plausible scenario.

Dont get your history lessons from reddit folks or you’ll end up like this
I get those from living in Russia.
You get them from reddit
My word against yours, and you are a “lemmygrad.ml” user. Case closed.
It’s amazing how you even use a keyboard, with so few working brain cells. Go back to the lib hole you came from.
You mean, get out and get some air in Moscow where I live? I’ve just came from a long walk, so no thanks.
