Again: I'm not seeing where Russia is treating the Sahel worse than fucking France is. I'm also gonna request your documentation on "african vassal states" to Russia; last I knew, Amerika's got those by the pound-- who are you claiming is in cahoots with Russia, and why is that such a problem for you?

you miss understand me: the russians aren't taking over nor colonizing africa; they're simply destabilizing/weakening their european political enemies; while simultaneously giving their mercenary forces free training to create a battle hardened pool of conscript-able citizens; and also creating goodwill in africa; among other things.
it's sort of like the russian's version of china's belt and road initiatives; except with guns and soldiers instead of financing and construction. and so far they've treated the african people well compared to the french; in fact the africans literally invited the russians in to unalive all of their "rebels"
also: "vassal states" was referring to british empire's vassal states in africa; the united states prefers to fuck over latin america more than africa.
So that's the angle you were taking-- you'll have to forgive me then. Typically, a lot of folk when they mention Russia, especially in Afrika, it's most usually with aim to try and slander them as no different from Amerika or Britain's colonial ambitions.
