Now that’s down right funny! I suppose you think OJ was innocent and the earth is flat!
Oh wait that’s right you live in the largest city close to Alaska,LOL
The Russians are not our friends, especially after their meddling in the 2016 election.

When I was in Africa, most of the vehicles I saw were made in China.

Jim Just your usual games you had to go back a few hundred years to make a outdated point no slaves long before all of us were born here.

You said we've been helping them "forever," and asked what they've done for us.
I gave you an answer. Never said you'd like the answer. The slave trade lasted several hundred years, and much of US history.

I had my hernia in 2016 at that time the local hospital was saying they had helped the one millionth person in Africa recently, later that week I wrote a check for $3,000 to get my surgery done, I felt so blessed. LOL

Many of the slave traders were blacks selling other Blacks back then, Alaska was not even a State if that somehow matters. LOL I have no problem with helping out others in less fortunate places. Just charging me 3Gs and my insurance even more then give away the same service thousands of miles away for free seems unbalanced.

Health care was somewhat affordable before we got the affordable care act....they got away with that farce and cost lots of people 3x more.....now they have gotten away with much more and they continue to screw the USA. Seems like they are working on humiliating/degrading the military right now..our military might is what keeps the dollar as the default currency..

The ACA not only raised prices it caused a decrease in coverage and preventive benefits so it cost more then a guy thinks now. My guess a lot was taken away from paid coverage to save on the ACA requiring them to give away the same coverage then.
The ones that wanted it would not pay for it, the ones that needed it could not afford it and the free ones come out the best like always. I see ads with people bragging the don’t have any premiums to pay it just warms my heart knowing that!

If you break it all down they are doing what we have done for many years and nations have done forever around the world.

Africa is the fastest growing market and with 1.5 billion people it has twice as many as North America has and growing fast. China has been funding infrastructure in many areas of Africa for decades. The see markets and resources and are willing to invest. We hear a lot about subsaharan Africa and yes there are many issues with that region but there is a lot of Africa with resources and assets that China can use. I am sure Russia is entering because they are as afraid of China as any one is.
Bryce Yup. China's OBOR project is to make these African nation indebted to them for their infrastructure projects. They them use that for leverage in order to have exclusive naval and shipping ports and rights to resources. America did something similar after WWII with the rebuilding of Europe and Japan.

Just charging me 3Gs and my insurance even more then give away the same service thousands of miles away for free seems unbalanced. They are successful capitalists. They can do what they want with their money including reducing their tax liability by writing off a large chunk thru altruistic methods. Successful capitalists give away money all the time usually for that reason.

The US has long ignored most of Africa, not including Northern Africa. The Russians and Chinese are both threats to us there, competitively and literally.
The Russians are not our friends, especially after their meddling in the 2016 election.
Jim It's sure a good thing that the Russians were not successful in installing Hillary .
