Also, the U.S. does not have the moral authority to condemn a country for invading another.
The government doesn’t but the people do
@@omsonmn_inde6978 Will the “PEOPLE” thereby condemn its own government?😏
@@mrquick6775 yes most do
neither does Russia and China
@@havenspringer please refer to the headline for this video. Many African countries would rather deal with China and Russia than with the U.S. Why? Because the U.S. is the greatest great to peace in the world. Everyone in the world knows this, except for the supporters of the U.S and its allies. When the U.S. and its allies supported the apartheid gov't in South Africa, Russia was helping the freedom fighters. The U.S. supported Nazi Germany, and sent back jews who tried to escape to America.
Let's not forget the UK and US are working together. France is perhaps the biggest player because he French Franc is the currency most African currencies are evaluated against. I call them France, United States and United Kingdom, or FUK for short.

@@vihailevagivhat ve mean is get lost!!
@@vihailevagiHow are they justified? Do you think that the US takes out the bad guys? 😂The US doesn’t care if a government is Democratic or not. An unstable country with an unstable government is easier to control. The US makes decisions based on their political interest. Many of these countries ended up in a worse state after the US interfered. I am an American too but I can look at history and realize that the US will turn over an entire nation if it will serve its best interest. And by self interest I don’t mean the interests of the average American.
Tell them!! We on the continent will never forget
It's a shame how the uneducated are so eager to hate and so seldom to consider. This opinion is blatantly wrong. It's obvious. You never pile all the blame on one party. This is certainly a part of the belt and road to sell this nonsense
The Libyan leadership was terroristic and authoritarian. The Libyan rebels were also terrible people. The US didn't understand Islamic culture to literally be the most vile disgusting culture every to infect our Earth possibly only second to Christianity. So one guy died and the whole country toppled. Hmm.
(a). That's why unilateralism is seriously stupid. Blame Libya.
(b). Muslims are severely mentally ill and can't stop believing in magical sky daddy. Blame the new ruling class.
(c). It is extremely rare for any country's leadership to survive without a strong defense network. Blame Libya.

Open borders for Israel
I will never forget sitting in the woods with veterans of American war's in tears some decades later realizing what their government convinced them to do and the reasons why. A guy who told me he was in Colombia for the CIA told me about sending 17 rail cars of cocan to DC as evidence. That night with those stories convinced my teenage butt that fighting for my country couldn't be done by picking up arms for the government. I had been talking with a navy recruiter having stated paperwork. Trust me when I say alot of us realize the US government is one of the if not the most violent immoral organization in world history. Many people working in it are not but the US government has never in its history followed any rule or law it found inconvenient.
Yeah yeah yeah. Bunch of bullshit
Mohamed Alì. Vietnam. Vietnam Remember the agent Orange Remember. No more warmongering Euro-americans nuclear democracy over the world...
I am Somali and believe what ure talking about!.
We pray for the peacemakers that died cruelly for the cause of Justice. RIP Patrice Lumumba ✊
Patrice Lumumba 🇨🇩🇨🇩🇨🇩🇨🇩🇨🇩🇨🇩 we have not forgot
I hope that in addition to not forgetting the US role...that more African generations become more knowledgeable about it and teach it as a defining moment.
Any history that reveals the ugly truth about America is "critical race theory".
ABSOLUTELY YES !!! This is why CRT is not supported in public schools. BUT, some of their kids ARE rebelling ……
lets never forget Indonesia 1965's tragedy
She is so on point. God bless her.
Peoples feelings are getting in the way. You don’t have to have moral authority, to call a spade a spade.
We should call Iran or Saudi Arabia or North Korea undemocratic or to any other country it applies to. Because they are.
Russia should be pressured to stop its illegal invasion, even tho we have done illegal invasions.
Because Russia should stop an illegal invasion, the alternative is putting your head in the sand.
Ask Ukraine if they want the U.S to pressure Russia to stop the invasion.
No she doesn't. She has a bad one and doesn't realize it

@@jermsbestfriend9296 I know right why blame the country that assassinated another leader. How stupid am I right?
@@keshi5541 I would say very stupid, not rhetorically or sarcastically. I don't think you have the capacity or independent motivation to investigate the opposing view, which is more valid, on your own, and I don't think you took the time to fully investigate your own view because if you had you'd have debunked it. Maybe you don't have the skills? Your understand of politics and systems is infantile. Blaming a country for the actions of individuals within it, bureaus within it, or even administrations is absolutely stupid and the type of bs they shove down the throats of the populations in enemy nations, and only stupid people believe it which causes them to go to war. We are learning. Many of these things like Islamic extremism vs monarchy are firsts. And we're only now coming to terms with the extremism in our own rifts. Administrations like the Obama administration didn't necessarily know about the extreme war mongering and destabilizing agenda of Bush Jr. Appointed military advisors, and Clinton had no way of stopping Bush Jr. from defaulting on promises to many other major nations, but it's all spun to be the fault of US Citizens and virtues. It's stupid. We need to improve what we have rather than stupidly devolving into insurrection.
She forgot that other great friend of Africans, Saddam Hussein.
Every regime in America is wicked since they invaded us in 1492
Smart comment. Ignoring the actual reason why she mentioned Qaddafi. Because when the US goes in and decides to remove a leader they don't give a shit about the human death roll left in the wake. They don't care how things turn out. And history has told us the US generally likes to install brutal dictators that hate their own people and will murder them. Time after time the US installs a worse government in place and then chuckles from their high horse as the people are are disappeared or thrown from helicopters into the ocean. Chuckle it up Fred. US has are covered in the blood of innocents from all over the world.
Saddam was a CIA asset/hitman
Sadam was not African ..in the contex of africa as a continent
I suppose some U.S. citizens might assume that their federal government acts with moral authority, but I would say the issue is more broadly recognized as a matter of granting sovereign autonomy. Which the U.S. should never play a role in, but it seems that there is a prevailing view that if it wasn't us then it would be someone else. The oh so special corporate interests profit very handley from a destabilized world. In a winner-take-all globally gamified economy which is rapidly falling apart, I take cold comfort knowing my meager situation is slightly better than much of the rest of the world.
So you're suggesting that the US should have no vote in what goes on in the rest of the world. Terrible idea. Let's stop blaming the US for the state of the world. Gaddafi's own guards turned on him. The guy was hated by everyone. And obviously Muslims make terrible leaders, but the Obama administration was supposed to have this high opinion of Muslims. Lmao. And when the Muslims turn out to be terrible people that's the fault of the federal government? Lmao. It's not even the fault of the Obama administration. We need to start flooding guns into Iran, honestly, to help protestors. Nonsecular societies are a tremendous and unrelenting threat to the whole world. If you're delusional enough to believe that Muslim leaders won't eventually attack the world in such a way that 90 percent of people die, you're living under a rock. Most Muslims are not bad people, but people in power clutch pearls and in doing so ignore all evil they commit themselves. The result is that they are the worst manifestation of any of their people
@Staying Strong disagree
The federal government has way too much power. We need small government and these things won't happen. The worst thing we can do is expand government or adopt socialist policies. It always leads to more of this.
@@CousinBowling Size of govt isn't the issue, whether it supports common good vs the parasite class is the sole issue.

What about that other democratic African country with a very successful socialist economy?
Can people remember that one? Can we name it? Was there more that one? The one I am thinking of had to be put down. It had to be put down and destroyed. It had to be destroyed as a socialist country because it was successful. The capitalists cannot allow a successful socialist country stand, even if it takes murder, assination, or other external means, such as sending in military forces --- special secret, or otherwise --- to destroy the economy.
Can anyone name the one I am thinking about?
What's the name of that African country which she hasn't mentioned above?
Any country where the people want the government to provide education, hospital, medical and dental care, trust worthy police to preserve and protect the citizens, infrastructure like roads, footpaths, drainage, sewage, clean healthy drinking water , free speech and access to mass communication, must want the government to serve the community. That makes that country in America's opinion, communist.
America rules that all resources must be owned, exploited, processed, manufactured, transported to the west marketed and utilised by the western capitalist system, with the automatic assumption the profits for private enterprise is the aim of the game.
So every country where the poor want a piece of the action, to raise their standard of living is, according to America communist. And any political individual or group that seeks to retain benefits for the poor citizens whose assets are being exploited for America and its allies, is a communist activator and terrorist.
The US uses bribes (donations), commissions from arms sales, and US protection to dictators and repressive regimes, to protect US interests and to discredit foreign governments, implying the alternative to American protection is cruel dictatorship, with torture, rape, murder and mass extermination. The Rwanda Revolution, and Idi Amin in Uganda are precedents.
The media supports America, and therefore NATO, Israel, Australia and other countries as it suits the USA. It is not just the media barons, but the financiers and backers of the media barons, that control and censor information to the voting public. Many so called reporters are actually operatives working for the US secret services. They report to the US Intelligence Agencies and block certain facts, change the reports and often produce disinformation, while discrediting and attacking truth sayers.
@@bobjuniel8683🙄
The US doesn't have the right to condemn other countries for having political prisoners.
I agree !
I mean Congo is fair. But Gaddafi was overthrown by a popular revolt. And sure, the revolutionaries were supported by the US, but it isn’t like Gaddafi was democratically elected either.
In the west we seem to automatically allow the US the moral high ground irrespective of its actions in the world. That has lead us into many otherwise avoidable disasters.
Who is we? They owe Blacks reparations. Too much liberal media will make you stupid.
@@robroy7456 the overwhelming consensus of thought. It is a cultivated delusion.

Good day, Is there anyone who can explain to me - if a decent, normal and reasonable person can knowingly, freely and voluntarily work for the C.I.A.? Because there is information on the net that clearly informs that the CIA is responsible for coups and the death of large numbers of innocent people, including women and children? How can you even sleep peacefully? How does it feel to work for psychopaths and sociopaths? Even if I don't think so, thank you for any answer. Svoboda Roman from the Czech Republic

OK, BRICS is a little more than just Putin and Xi. Right now, with the new additions, it includes 45% of the planets population, 30% of the planets oil production, and a sizeable part of the planets total GDP. As far as commodoties go, a huge part of the total production of essential metals and minerals come from within the BRICS.
And they are developing payment systems that makes trade outside the SWIFT financial messaging system possible, in local currencies. And the list of nations interested in joining, is really long. It will include several nations in Latin America. Cuba is slated to become a hub in the BRI. That will expand trade with Latin America greatly.
It’s true. Our parents told us about it and we will tell our kids. We don’t forget Gadaffi, Hussein and Bin Laden too. Yea my Boy Bin Laden. Your day is coming Barack

Unfortunately, she’s leaving a lot of information out. Belgians we’re involved with Patrice Lumumba. He went to UN for help, then turned to Soviet Union ..during the Cold War. That was only intervention, but they did not have him arrested, nor put him in front of firing squad.
