    You sure put a lot more weight on some random opinion piece than I do

    E: Also this was written in 2014… It occurred at the same time as they published (and probably wanted to promote) a book with the same idea.

        They’re taking their sweet ass time to kick off the Scramble for Africa 2 The USA-China boogaloo, since I’ve read this shit since early 2000s (and that’s only as far as I can remember) and even this article is from 2014. But maybe we’ll get the at some point.

        I think since this dude has had these ideas for a while (even before the 2014 book (that I think this opinion piece was promoting) I think) he might genuinely believe this stuff.
