In the US, a small number of right wing extremists have so far succeeded in imposing their values (or lack of them) on government, social services, scientific research, educational institutions, on “permissible words” and more. Now MAGA believes it can insist other countries follow its rules.

Africa’s mining resources are controlled by foreign powers. After France was expelled by West African governments, Russia took over. Although the US will close many embassies in Africa, it is manoeuvring for a slice of the pie. www.facebook.com/share/p/1F9r...? www.france24.com/en/africa/20...

Trump claims to be a peacemaker as a Ukraine / Russia go-between, but the US offer basically echoes Russia's conditions. At the same time he wants to turn the Gaza Strip into a tourist paradise, is intensifying attacks on Houthis, and is ready for war with Iran if nuclear enrichment isn't stopped.
