What about adding these:
Russia never had or involved in black slavery
Russia never colonised or exploits any Africa country.
Russia never involved in the share and exploitation of Africa resources during Berlin conference. Etc

While my Africa brothers are supporting their slave masters over the centuries, it made me wonder what an African scholar said... 'if am fighting the whites for the rights of my Africa brothers I have to use one hand so I can use the other hand to protect myself against my Africa brothers attacks.

Immediately the US falls.
Don't be biased, I posted about Russia doesn't means I hate the US. Russia is a nice country, only the leader of the day can defame it image. Do you know that during Harry S Truman presidency , the US was under a "dictatorship", just like Russia. And do you also know that Russia under Mikhail Gorbachev was like US of today, and was a very strong ally of the US.
Learn to reason like a white man. At the end of all this thing, they know what they are doing. In the next 50 years there won't be Russia and US issue any more. Can't you learn from Germany, Italy and Japan that were against the US?

Less inflation and less corruption. Also zero puppetry to Western or Eastern powers.

I didn't say democracy is wrong and neither will I kick against democracy at any given point in time.... You'll realize I said "their so called democracy" because they use it as a tool to get what they want and also it only exists to favour them alone,, they don't care about democracy when it comes to others.

If they'll practice democracy in truth and no form of double standard then I would have been support the West and would love to see them succeed in their quest to democratize the globe.... But it's not the way it seems to be. cry

Just wishing for a country to fall, I mean the greatest country on this planet to fall is hating on them. Don’t take that back, that’s pure hatred. We are all humans, learn to accept everybody irrespective of our differences. Stop wishing people’s downfall. It’s so dumb.

My statement about their fall is Ironical. Of course, the day the US falls is the day the world will cease to exist. Which means it is pretty impossible.

Then stop screaming and wishing for America to fall then. Nothing ironic as that sounds.
