China already owns Africa. Now Trump handed them the keys to South-America.



China has their fingers deep, deep in Africa, by way of generous donations, by way of bribery, by way of fomenting anti-western/anti-colonialist propaganda in Africa.

Now the leaders of Central-America and South-America are holding an emergency-meeting on Trump's behavior. And where will they turn to?

Brazil, Honduras, Colombia, Panama, Peru, Uruguay and Mexico already have very close economic ties with China. If they ask China for closer ties to protect them against the US, why would China say No???

The US will become an isolated nation. Ironically, just like Mao's China.

Putin has Europe and the US.
He is working on Canada and Mexico.

That basically led to the wars in Ukraine and Gaza and the Taliban takeover. They were all fixated on tax cuts and the price of eggs.
