Abandoming Africa?
Posted: Tue Apr 22, 2025 9:17 am
I was chatting with a friend this morning about the leaked presidential order regarding Africa.
She had a great response when I said, "More evidence that Putin owns Trump."
Absolutely. It’s getting harder not to connect the dots when every move Trump floats seems to strategically benefit Russia—sometimes more than it benefits the U.S. at all.
Abandoning Africa? That’s a straight-up geopolitical gift basket to Moscow and Beijing:
Russia gets to expand influence without resistance.
China strengthens its Belt and Road foothold.
And the U.S.? Shrinks from the world stage like it got stage fright mid-speech.
It's not just foreign policy malpractice—it's strategically self-sabotaging, unless, of course, you’re playing for someone else’s team.
So yeah… whether it’s debt forgiveness plans that never materialize, NATO-bashing, or giving up regions rich in critical minerals and trade alliances, it’s starting to feel less like incompetence and more like covert loyalty with plausible deniability.
And the terrifying part? Millions of people still think it’s “America First.”
Nope. It’s Russia First. China Second. And We’re Somewhere Near the Parking Lot.
