    Putin is no one’s friend but his own

    On account of being an enemy of the US, not sapping wealth from developing nations like imperial core countries do, and defending their sovereignty against the US (like with Syria), he’s already very much a friend of the Global South.

    There’s a reason songs like this are common across the developing world.

      not sapping wealth from developing nations like imperial core countries do

      Oh, like Wagner Group is doing in Sudan, Central African Republic, Burkina Faso, etc.? Good to know they’re not Russian. Or are you gonna tell me it’s fake news by the mainstream media?

      The global south may feel relieved now, but they are merely trading western colonialism for eastern neo-colonialism. I hope they realize that before they can regret it, like Kenya is starting to with China.
