Folks in the US genuinely can't understand why African countries would do business with China or Russia. "Don't you know they're the bad guys?! They will screw you over! Silly Africans!"🤡
I'm very pro Ukraine, for obvious reasons. But I understand why the talking point of "Cool. Now say something about Iraq or Gaza." is so effective on African nations, while the US is just screaming, "That's Whataboutism!"
For them, there is no moral high ground. Everyone is the bad guy
