      I mean it would be pretty amnestic to see them working with one regional subimperialist & think they wouldn’t do this when China and Vietnam have done the same. It’s part of the same pole as US, Japan, Europe, Aus, RoK, Singapore, this is how the global trade system works. You get crowbar’d into working with imperialists no matter what. Autarky failed, the periphery got left behind. Exception might be DPRK, which was able to make something out of the sacrifice & never rolled back & became a neocolonialist hellhole in any respect.

        1. it’s unpopular decision and very unlikely to be appreciated by the population.
        2. it gives legitimatacy to the IS groups.
        3. Burkina Faso will gain nothing from working with the entity, the entity will gain more from it.
        4. this will kill any chance of working with Algeria, Iran or the DPRK.

          1. strongest point but consider they don’t have DSA twitter users there

          2. ??? IS is not an organic phenomenon created by the political illegitimacy of the Sahel states with their people it’s going to be done away with via weapons & development

          3. okay why do you think China & Vietnam have done it? to be assholes? to piss you off?

          4. expecting me to take this seriously is interesting. translate this: https://lecontinental.info/alliance-des-etats-du-sahel-aes-une-dynamique-de-refondation-souverainiste-et-securitaire-en-marche/. okay, algeria has literally shot down drones from mali they do not have a good relationship, all AES ambassadors have been withdrawn from algeria lmao. yemen & iran work with china all the time. why would they start acting like western leftists and sabotage their diplomatic ties for fun

          • bad faith argument with so many assumptions. in the case Burkina Faso develops shit with israel, because apparently this was posted by a zionist mouth piece and can’t be trusted, could be fake.

            1. Being against israel is not a DSA thing, the people of Burkina Faso are majority Muslims, it’s not a DSA twitter user mentality thing to dislike israel.
            2. Israel is so disgusting it gives ilegitimatacy to anything near it, many people would join Isis if it faught israel, but it won’t ever do that.
            3. Burkina Faso is not China or Vietnam, Burkina Faso’s options from the zionist entity are weapons that already got Palestinian blood on them, overpriced tanks, and spy tech that compromises them.
            4. is a Malian drone worth more to Burkina Faso than thousands of Palestinian kids? is it easier to forgive the crimes comitted there?
              Would Israel accept Iran working with Burkina Faso?
              “don’t work with israel” isn’t a western leftist position it’s an anti colonial one.
              • Yeah, my first sentence is about how this could be fake, if you read it you would’ve known, Also don’t act all smart now BECAUSE NOT ONLY DID YOU EAT THIS SHIT UP, NOT ONLY YOU WERE ONE OF THE LAST PEOPLE ON THIS THREAD TO FIGURE OUT IT’S FAKE, YOU STARTED BELIEVING IN IT FULL SWING, YOU WERE THIS CLOSE TO SAYING AM YISRAEL CHAI TAKE THIS AS A FUCKING LESSON DAWG.

                  Well apparently I actually made an effort to correct in the thread at literally exactly the same time as you, why the hell are you acting smug? Didn’t feel like actually notfying anyone else except to prove a point online? I stand by my alt history interpretation! Don’t make flippant accusations of bad faith Zionism in all caps. You’re being childish.
