I argue here that Washington has painted itself into a corner by constantly telling Africans that they are free to choose their partners, economic and security alike, and then lobbying against those partnerships. Niger saying you can't have it both ways. apnews.com/article/niger-…
@_hudsonc Sorry, but the American diktators do not "lobby", but threaten! It is reported that in the DR Congo, American diktators told the DRC that if they did not abandon Chinese investment, they would get no money from IMF/WB!
@_hudsonc @MichaelShurkin niger, by their own admission, was accused of dealing uranium deposits away to iran on the one hand while benefitting from usa anti-terrorism forces on the other who wants it both ways, again? it seems childish to imagine that your freely-chosen partners won’t have implications
