    If chopping off limbs failed to increase productivity, it's no surprise that Africa has never developed a manufacturing base. Ot anything by way of efficient enterprise, besides white run farms and mineral extraction.

    Chopping off the limbs of their young children when failing to make quota.


    Not sure this motivational technique is covered in Stanford's MBA, but could be wrong.

    More of a focus on Europe and the tyrants it helped to prop up in the search for oil, cocoa, gold and diamonds with the occasional nod to US meddling.

    Only occasional mentions in the book of Aid to Africa though, which is often an absolute nonsense, serves to line the pockets of the countless corrupt on the continent and further encourages a culture of dependence.

    Famous for its repression and torture, Teodoro Obiang’s Equatorial Guinea got an aid delivery from U.S. Special Operations forces.

    Seems your mission here on TD is to belittle the US of A but frankly who here gives a flying fuck (excuse my English) what Africa and the US are up to.

    When Thailand tells the US to fuck off, it might trigger my interest.

    You know Tomcat; you have other interest than I do.

    You like to make reviews of food that looks good, but that I wouldn't pick from a menu.

    I do not attend your thread and comment on your Symphony of Seaweed or such.

    I'll let you have a guess on why that is

    Not a surprising development. African dicatators turning to Russia, away from the West, to cement their grip on their countries.

    Botswana threatens to send 20,000 elephants to Germany
    OF
    Stine Schmidt




    Germany's residents should feel what it feels like to live side by side with thousands of elephants, says Botswana President Mokgweetsi Masisi, who is threatening to send 20,000 elephants to Germany.

    The president told German media Bild.

    The announcement comes after the German environment ministry - headed by Steffi Lemke of the Greens - earlier this year raised the possibility of tightening rules on the import of hunting trophies due to concerns about poaching.

    "It's very easy to sit in Berlin and have an opinion on what we do in Botswana. We are paying the price for preserving these animals on behalf of the world - and Lemke's party," President Masisi said.

    According to the president, animals trample people to death, eat crops and destroy villages.

    I don't think you need to factcheck the part with the shithole

    Trump's last name is actually very rare in Germany. They say it derived fron the French or English. That would explain a lot
