Wait, how exactly is the US to blame for any of what's happening in Sudan? Would it really have been better if they had just wholesale ignored the Janjaweed massacres? As it stands, both sides just seem to trying to court anybody who can support them, be it the US, Russia, Egypt, UAE etc.
- cpursley 3y agoThis is absolutely the continuation of the Great Game (which the English passed the torch to America post WW2). With neo-imperalism resource control as well as controlling the sea lanes thrown in the mix. Make no mistake, this is similar to Crimea (Black Sea dominance denial). The West does not want Russia gaining a foothold on the Red Sea. Especially now that they are friendly with the middle eastern powers.
