Against 3 formidable foes, so much so that Trump or not they will have to adopt a different approach in their foreign policies going forward.

I'll leave some of you geniuses and experts to make complete fools of yourselves or not and interject accordingly thus. cool

I see the fight as economic warfare, not military warfare and the in this regard, the USA remains very vulnerable. Despite the best economy and most dynamic one, the reality is the US needs China and the bigger economies as much as they need the US.

I fear for small nation states, if one of them attempts to implement tariff to save FOREX or restrict bad goods imports- much like what the big countries do, and what Trump plans to do with China relations, the IMF will bury them.

Yes of course that's a big part !! But this is about military dynamics and capabilities waging war thousands of miles from home as they have been known for...the US military set up in its current iteration was advanced and untouchable decades ago, not now...basically sitting ducks to China, Iran and Russia away from home...wink

Not only Africa ,the world is waking up.. Russia and China treats developing nations with dignity and respect .

Russia and China treats developing nations with dignity and respect .

I don’t believe that. Everybody is in it for their own gain. Any illusion of respect and dignity is well and truly staged. Russia are ruthless and China are calculated. Their ultimate objectives are no better than the US’ or Britain’s.

So, US Africa partnerships is to be tied to US Christian Evangelism, Game-hunting opportunities and “bun gay?”
How patronizing! Reminds me of the railroad project during this administration that runs through almost no important population centers but sure as hell ends at a major gold mine. By the way it is naive to think US will enter any major military conflict without NATOi.e. Almost all of Europe plus Canada, OZ, NZ units side as per treaty. Russia, China, NK, Iran isn’t yet capable of topping that. Best thing for the world is do as China does. Spend trillions on development instead of war.

Yeah boy like I said in another thread sometimes we don't get what we need in one place. China and Russia are doing well by many African nations, where was the West ?

Anyway like I also said, I ain't too invested in none of them but I know their actions can affect the whole world so I try to see things from their views and not swayed by their way of governing, that's their style and their business . And when I look at Chinese cities and Moscow and the people etc I wonder which system is really better for the development of human beings in the long-run.

What I do know unlike the USA they're not going to try to impose their ideals on any of their subordinate countries .

I guess we still get lured by bright shiny objects. I remember the period when Japan's technology was widely perceived as poised to dominate the world. That was primarily during the late 1970s and throughout the 1980s,

Lots of factors intervened and things started to shift later in the 80s due to various economic factors and a slowdown in innovation compared to other countries….
i wouldn’t start syncopating sweet and sour pork, wontons, dumplings, chow mein, Peking roasted duck,… for my beloved oxtail, rice and peas, curry goat, yam and boil green banana just yet.smile

Bro I thought you were better than that, you are proving to be a very talented flamboyant underachiever lol . Western propaganda and the MSM narrative have you totally mesmerized ..

The US and the West have always been the real threat to Africa and developing nations, I didn't make that up, just ask history ..

Look Carl time to hit the nets ok...

Don't know where this will lead, but Lets start with a few starters --- computer processors (CPU) – the brains of any computer. AMD, and INTEL – both American companies --- In Q3 2024, Intel maintained a strong lead in the client PC market, commanding 76.1% of the market in terms of units, while AMD held a smaller 23.9% share….that is 100% of x86 CPU computer computing power, worldwide.

Forgot to reply bro, getting my introduction to senior symptoms and I must say it's absolutely hilarious !

So yeah it was Japan before coming into the 70s to the 2000s, China has now taken their place as the new cut price innovation and trade juggernaut, but China's innovation goes father wider and deeper .

China is very pragmatic and humanistic so there will be a lot more focus on making people's lives easier in a number of sectors with a multitude of offerings far exceeding music listening devices electronics and cars etc .

China's innovation in agriculture is one example, they have totally revolutionized farming with fully automatic farm production plant kits that sow seeds apply water and all additives at the precise amounts to produce the best possible produce ,

The system also manipulates lighting at different times of the day for the best results and also reaps sorts and bulk package the picture perfect insecticide-free produce for market . It also uses less than 10% of the land space of what conventional farming methods would require to produce a similar amount. Would see if I find a vid and post it..

From my experience dealing with China with equipment etc I can tell you they consider and offer EVERYTHING when designing a system .

Keep and eye on China..

Oh remember 'market' is the world now and not the US market only, the world has changed. Case in point China makes and sells the most cars in the world and not one is sold in the US , apart from BYD buses made at a plant in the US ... Interesting times ahead..
