And - you don't need to make war if you can just buy aboriginal elites, like in Central Asian countries, and some sub-Saharan African ones. permalink fedilink source parent [–] Valmond@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago Whatabout USA ... permalink fedilink source parent [+] ubik@lemmynsfw.com -4 points 1 year ago [deleted] permalink fedilink source parent
