So I guess you just ran out of space if you left out the stupid shit Russia is pulling in Africa, right?
Oh yes, it's so terrible how Russia is helping countries like Niger and Burkina Faso shake off western colonialism. Cry harder.
There it is. When Russia does it, it's helping, but when Western countries do it, it's colonialism. God I hope you're at least being well paid for your doublethink
Feel free to provide examples of Russian colonialism in Africa. Last I checked, these kinds of things are happening, where Niger is NATIONALIZING their resources. If Russia was doing what the west was doing, then Niger would have a Russian puppet for a president who'd be selling the country off to Russian corps.

Either you're utterly clueless, or intentionally trying to create a false equivalence to whitewash western crimes against humanity. Either way, you're a slimy colonizer apologist.
