    One day I hope Putin will be charged with war crimes ….maybe Trump and hegseth will also …

  2. It’s well known that historically foreign military likes to use wars to have fun with anything illegal / immoral that wouldn’t be possible at home. This dates back even to the crusades and is especially true for countries and in particular their military which do not strongly emphasize moral conduct. Considering what is known about their training, this outcome is no surprise. Once again, African countries just replace one form of terror with another equivalent one.

    I, for one, would never doubt the moral integrity of an army that calls itself “Africa Corps”… /s

  4. Russia who is years into a war of attrition, on their third army, you ask for military assistance? This is their dregs. They need the best guys in Ukraine. Of course the conscripts will commit atrocities, they’re basically hired gangsters not soldiers!

  5. How many other African countries still have some European armed presence from their post colonial days? If there are any, then I wonder what they’re thinking right now

    Saw so many people congratul;ating Africa for turning away from Western powers and embracing Russia and China.

  7. Bro.. I’m sorry but it is rich of the western media to point at this with what’s happening in Sudan. Human suffering on an incomprehensible scale that is funded by western countries. So I don’t think one imperialist bloc criticizing another is cause for celebration, I think it’s despicable hypocrisy of the highest order

  8. This is exactly what Mali and many other African governments want. And for some reason, support for Russia in Africa is very high.

  9. Oh please. I’m not saying there aren’t abuses, I’m sure there are, but aren’t these the same Northern Mali extremists the French were fighting before they got kicked out?

    The AP is clearly in bed with western intelligence services. 🙄

    Im sure abusing Civilians will totally not drive more people to the Islamists. Not like they are threatening the Capital or anything….

    ruzia often criticizes Europe for colonialism. But the only reason ruzia couldn’t have colonies in Africa was lagging technological background, not their “divine mercy and kindness” as they would say. I bet if ruzia was more developed and could colonize some African lands, their colonies would be worse than Belgian Congo or NDH.
