The 20th Century was US prime time. They blew it. And in the process almost blew up the world. They could have made many friends but instead saw everyone else as enemies (declared or not). Their record of robbery, pillaging , and domination has soiled any reputation they may have had. There will be no second chance for them this current century. In even their cohorts and vassals, we can already see the beginnings of a decoupling process as a direct result of Trump’s mad actions.
The world is rejecting the ‘America First’ philosophy. And the US no longer holds the power (mostly fear driven and always composed largely of ‘bluff’), to impose such a regime on an awakening world. America will have to get used to (if it wants to make any impression on the rest of us) finding a way to live based on what itself can produce and market to that world, by paying its way to obtain the materials it needs through legal (not illicit) channels and by rejecting the thievery and looting methods it has used to gain those goods up to this point in time. It will also need to get used to forfeiting the assumed rights to a single reserve currency (its own) for international trade. US cohort and vassal nations will also need to subject themselves to the same principles – but they are already in early stages of the necessary decoupling process to achieve that (whether they realise it or not).
But in Africa, a continent long subjected to Western abuse which is almost completely now rejected, and where the US has never firmly established a connection, the tables are turning to prevent the establishment of such a base. The days of AFRICOM are numbered. And there will never be a repeat of the West backed elimination of the great Muammar Gaddafi on African soil. The current emerging leader of Africa’s push towards a multipolar world and anti-imperialist oppression – Captain Ibrahim Traoré – reputedly is well protected by a sizable contingent of North Korean special forces troops. This being the most likely reason behind the false accusations on the misuse of Burkina Faso’s newly refined gold by Captain Traoré, made by the AFRICOM commander as reported in the NEO post below.
‘Why is General Langley rebelling against Captain Ibrahim Traoré’ – Mohamed Lamine KABA – New Eastern Outlook – May 18, 2025
Please especially note this quote from that article…
By diversifying its alliances, notably with the Russian Federation through partnerships such as the one concluded with Nordgold, and by laying the foundations of a self-sufficient economy, Traoré is allocating crucial funds to national and regional security, a bulwark against jihadist threats and Western interference.
May Africa continue to prosper in this way, free from ‘Western interference’, and its profile take proper place in the more enlightened sphere of global affairs we see emerging this century. And in which there is no place for western imperialism.
As an afterthought, since it was not my original intention, I am adding this Youtube video to this post. It covers an interview made and streamed live while Capt. Traoré was in Moscow for the Victory Day celebrations earlier this month. It, among other things, gives his response to the distortions made by the general commanding AFRICOM. I have developed a great respect for the Captain, President of Burkina Faso and growing influence in Africa and around the world, and I think the video will show why.
Not Something Else
