Comments by "Geoffrey Lyons" (@granatmof) on "Why the Niger Coup is Worse Than You Think" video.

  1. At first I thought it was weird to pronounce the country different than I was used to. After just half the video, I have come to like it and actually see the wisdom in the pronunciation. Also the US' "School of the Americas" pretty much solely trains future fascist dictators and other corrupt political figures . The only thing America doesn't like about the coupers is they're not American leaning, and instead will follow the money from Russia. The US keeps making deals of convenience with little devils around the world making bigger devils that eventually come to attack the US. Like I support Ukrainian independence, but I know in 20 years US soldiers or diplomats or citizens are going to be killed by a bomb by some fascist Russian or even Ukrainian fighters who are bitter about America helping or not helping enough as they see it. In Africa, the US and Soviets funding different sides for decades while the people killed each the tin the millions. Inevitably, and especially as the global economy shift to relying on African industrial growth this will blowback on America because frankly centuries of inherent racism. The US has failed to properly invest in African nations because of course racism. Also its always wise to blame France. But post colonialism aid and economic policies particularly in Africa have really just changed the paradigm of that colonialism instead of replacing it. Things like the IMf are just new economy chains from the Western leaning UN.
