The leadership of a state doesn’t exactly have to follow such nonsense, so this explanation is not sufficient. Furthermore, such views are not something that I understand, either.

i don’t really understand it fully tbh, the history of africa is foreign to me - that said i don’t think all things leadership do is always based in extensive theory and calculation - they see visibly the exploitation that has deprived the country of it’s own wealth (causing them to revolt and throw out the french), but may still harbour backwards views on certain topics (which is the product of their environment not thorough analysis)

the outlawing of the lgbtq is bad obviously. i am not trying to justify it - this is just analysis

i have met those in my life who are in leadership positions in local regions, that struggles for issues such as Palestine harbour stances that are backwards/ US talking points - it is often a reflection of these points being pushed on them very early and them taking it as gospel (as if there were not as existing ecosystem that has ulterior motives). it is just a product of being human and not always analyzing/poor analyses (of) their actions.

That just means that antagonising LGBT people makes it easier for NATO to engage in this propaganda warfare.

i don’t disagree, this is a more common perspective adopted. my wording is more me thinking in terms of systems and paying mind to how the liberal world order works to push forward it’s interests
