There it is. When Russia does it, it's helping, but when Western countries do it, it's colonialism. God I hope you're at least being well paid for your doublethink
Feel free to provide examples of Russian colonialism in Africa. Last I checked, these kinds of things are happening, where Niger is NATIONALIZING their resources. If Russia was doing what the west was doing, then Niger would have a Russian puppet for a president who'd be selling the country off to Russian corps.

Either you're utterly clueless, or intentionally trying to create a false equivalence to whitewash western crimes against humanity. Either way, you're a slimy colonizer apologist.
