More than a dozen former Ronald Reagan staff members have joined dozens of other Republican figures endorsing the Democratic nominee and vice-president, Kamala Harris, saying their support was “less about supporting the Democratic party and more about our resounding support for democracy”.

So you consider North Korea or Eritrea to be better then the US? Seriously?

Can you proof China is not debt traping poor countries?

It is very easy to call the US the worst country, when you ignore the bad other countries commit.

Within the context of the world? Yes.

So you don’t have any proof, you just said it because if the US is bad, other countries must be bad. That’s western-chauvanism at its finest.

It’d be nice if you could provide any proof for your claims.

Thats not how it works. You are the one that said China is doing that, you should provide proof of it.

For example, but that took me a minute to find. Just asking for proof does not work, when the other site is unable to argue its case beyond “I looked into it”. Not even an unsourced explanation of how Cowbee came to the cconclusion. Only that it is supposed to be “obvious”.

I doubt I get a reply from Cowbee due to that.

Why didn’t you reply to my comment if you wanted a response? You didn’t even @ me when namedropping, like you’re hiding.

Your first source is an opinion piece saying African countries need to be wary of taking on debt they can’t pay back, without offering numbers. No evidence of debt entrapment, just loans.

Your second source just talks about the lack of transparency of one specific loan.

Neither proves China to be intentionally sinking African countries into debt, which is why I asked for sources.

Meanwhile, China has been waiving loans, and many loans are interest free as a part of the Belt and Road Initiative.

The US and other Western countries have stolen trillions from African Countries.

You need to meaningfully prove your statements, otherwise you’re just a western chauvanist.
