@flintb6559 The USA send megatons of food to Africa over the years. As a younger man in the '70s and '80s, it looked like Soviet Communist tyranny trying to extend its power. It was easy to see the USA as the good guys. It was even easy to turn a blind eye to assassinations and coups that BOTH the USA and USSR were engineering in the region, for the upper hand in the Cold War.
Looking back, I feel like the leadership of both nations was more keen on winning than on morality. They both felt their ideology was so superior that anything they did in its furtherance was, by definition, a good thing. That mentality was punished in the USSR by their fall. I think that mentality is why the West is failing, today.
Now, an old man, I see how Western hegemony managed to extract many resources from Africa, without ever bring true liberty and prosperity to Africa. It was easier to deal with despots who gave us what we wanted at the point of a gun.
I'm not sure the Russian influence is necessarily a good thing, but I know that the USA's influence is toxic. Our intel and military are stilly playing dirty tricks and engineering coups to this day. That's not America. That's ruling-class elites.
