Paul Kagame is unironically one of the best leaders of the 21st century and i really hope he has an equally competent successor planned.

I am quite cynical and jaded about the state of African nations, but legitimately his is one of the most humane to live in. I am sick and tired of western liberal democracies delusionally pushing their rules based order into Africa and only creating more death and suffering because Africans simply cannot handle those systems (Whites can barely at best either for that matter). Someone like Kagame, who crushes opposition with an iron fist, is unironically doing more for the common welfare of his people than any bullshit "freedom and democracy" can for people who simply can't handle it.

Rwanda is successful because Paul Kagame literally loots the Congo for all his country's wealth and resources. They barely produce anything, but about 30 years ago Rwanda hit big on a scam that they could occupy large sections of the Congo, enslave people, and loot minerals to sell as Rwandan. Kagame is a great leader because the West keeps fucking over his enemies. That's why Rwanda is successful, because they're a looter state.

Even during the colonial era that Europeans recognized the civilizational superiority of the Tutsis who run Rwanda now. That is why everyone in the post-colonial era worked so hard to get the the subhuman hutus to kill them all and bring appropriate African style government to Rwanda. They tried really hard in 1994 to wipe them out and most of the world looked the other way while it was going on.

But ironically the attempted genocide allowed the Tutsi to largely drive their subhuman animal hutu citizens out of the country and build something exceptionally well run for Africa. They probably have the best military in Africa.

Everything they are doing in DR Congo is absolutely for the best. Congo is an utterly hopeless place and the Rwandans can do go a good job bringing civilization to the areas of Congo they take over.

Bro, the Tutsis are literally a parasitic class who thrived on Hutu slave labor, and the Hutus did the right thing when they overthrew them. The Tutsis even call themselves Jews now, because they both got Holocausted (supposedly, nobody even knows how many Tutsis died) and because they're a tiny minority who runs everything. That's why Paul Kagame is WEF-approved, because he is replicating in Africa what the globalists are doing in Europe and America. Up to and including speciating themselves into a new race (the globalist race is like half Jew, half legacy white) to dominate us.

Brevity is the soul of wit, keep it simple stupid, etc. Now, let me totally contradict myself,

Besides the issue of length, there’s also disorganized messaging. I think the people designing these ads think they’re projecting competency. They’re not.
>Look at all the stuff I can list!
>Source?
>Citation needed
Or, at best, they are projecting competency to (a minority of) people with a certain disposition. To such individuals, having “sources” does make for an appealing ad. It provides opportunities for verbal oneupmanship, and that’s, like, a third of today’s political debates. There’s even a part of me that is sympathetic to the idea of more long-form political discourse and suspicious of soundbites.

The problem for these advertisers is that a bunch of fine print also conveys sneakiness, duplicitousness, legal maneuvering, etc. How many movies and television shows feature the devil (or someone aping his style) using the fine print on a contract to manipulate someone? A lot. So many that Metalocalypse goofed on this concept by having the main characters out-lawyer the devil. Fine print means “thing that will be used to fuck you over later on” to many people.

It would have been so easy to restructure this ad in a way that satisfies the policy-wonk crowd and everyone else. Have the best and coolest Democrat factoid in gigantic letters. Then another in slightly smaller font. Keep doing this until you get to the fine print seen in the actual advert. That would make a big headline out of something the Democrats want to emphasize, while still playing up the whole “we’re the party of science” bullshit “facts and logic” routine.

It’s just so incompetent… people are less likely to trust the Democrats after seeing this. lol

Great framing already. Trump is threatening Zelensky with WWIII.

Well, we know reddit is pretty liberal, but as you can see it's actually right-wing reddit that will be giving answers.

Let's see what this "Conservative" chap has to say.

OK, how about this "Right-leaning" fellow.

How does this promote America First?
1740887665014.png
It doesn't, by promoting an opportunity for...Trump? The President of America?

Today is a date that will live in infamy. I'm sure it won't be forgotten by tomorrows news cycle.

Sort by controversial and you'll find a few downdooted chuds questioning the question (this isn't allowed).

The funniest thing about the list is that whoever made it bothered to include everything Democrats in Congress voted against but failed to stop.

I don't know how you can stomach reading this drivel enough to collect it and post it here. Those posts are so fucking cringey.

Trump presented a non-violent option: Drill and Mine with the US in Ukraine to get things back on track.

Did I care for that plan? Not entirely. But it was a non-violent option that benefited all parties, with implicit security for Zelensky.

But he didn't want implicit, he wanted the vengeful war hawk route and take down Le Putler. He wanted "security" with no work on his part.

He wanted a phony defense contract that serves no one else's interest but his. Not even his constituents fucking want that.

Maybe I'm overthinking it but could drilling operations be a backdoor to pseudo NATO? If Ukraine signs over mineral rights and America has to build mining operations out there, can Russia really invade without risking killing Americans and sparking retaliation? It's a human shield that ideally never needs to shield but pays for itself.

Correct jew boy any one with eyes spotted that but Zelinsky needs to have a win at home if he is going to remain in power after this and sadly he has chosen to prioritize his image in Ukraine over the security of Ukraine unfortunately he seems to have gotten neither out of the bargain but the democrats seem pleased to screw orange man out of a potential accomplishment
