    Russia is largely responsible for the massive amount of propaganda via culture wars that prevents the r and d working together. Yes billionaires in the US are too, but RU does the lionshare and advises the US ones

    Yeah it's often overlooked that one of the main struggles have been local infrastructure and production to make African countries self-sufficient. And with over a decade of Chinese infrastructure like modern roads able to handle trucks being built, and removal of these tariffs. It opens the door to expand production and long term growth.

    There are of course negative aspects involved, but it's still a potential game changer when it comes to global trade and production.
