Responding to a developing new trend in American foreign policy, Michael Rubin of the American Enterprise Institute, has come up with a blueprint that if successful, will set Africa on fire, destroy every progress the continent has made over the last few decades, and push it back to the primitive state of the pre-colonial era.
Using the
occasion of African leaders coming to Washington intending to review and
celebrate the successes that were accomplished on the continent through the
Africa-America partnership since Israel was kicked out of there — which
happened in the aftermath of the abominable behavior exhibited by then Foreign
Minister of Israel, Avigdor Lieberman — Michael Rubin went into an angry mode
and started frothing nonsense at the mouth.
Displaying his
unabashed loyalty to Israel as well as his unlimited contempt for America,
Michael Rubin devised a plan that will use America’s wealth and military power
to implement a policy that would set Africa on fire, and prepare it to be
looted by Israel. Describing how the policy is meant to work, Rubin praised
both Israel and Rwanda’s ruler while bashing America’s leaders and the United
Nations.
You can see all
of that in the article that Michael Rubin wrote under the title: “How Biden Can
Transform Africa Posturing into Progress,” and the subtitle: “The way forward is not through conferences or dumping money and
responsibility upon the United Nations. Rather, it is through careful diplomacy
not beholden to disaffected exiles and through military partnerships.” The
article was published on December 10, 2022 in The National Interest.
Here is the
evidence that shows how disloyal Rubin is to America:
“For too long, the United States has failed in
Africa for three reasons. The first is a failure to compete. The second is
arrogance. The third is a tendency to ignore African solutions to African
problems. The UN’s five most expensive peacekeeping operations are in
Africa but with few exceptions fail. All three American mistakes are on display
in the Great Lakes region of Africa. Secretary of State Antony Blinken and
Samantha Power treat Rwanda unfairly. No symbolic conference in Washington can
substitute for the fact that the State Department and Senate have failed in
their responsibilities. Blinken and Power have taken the region to the
brink of a new genocide. The UN compounds the problem by allowing terrorists
and unrepentant Hutu génocidaires to run its refugee camps by remaining
armed and transforming schools, UNRWA-style, into incitement centers”.
But the reality is that it was Avigdor Lieberman of Israel who worked on
taking the region to the brink of genocide — doing it not by mistake or
ignorance but deliberately. After all, he was the one that threatened to nuke
the Aswan Dam, thus inflict a biblical size plague on Egypt by flooding it with
a radio active tsunami. Lieberman threatened all that because the Egyptian
president had rejected an invitation to visit Israel. In addition, Avigdor Lieberman
pretended to represent America and in this capacity, badmouthed Egypt to the
politicians of Uganda and most other countries of the Nile Basin, urging them
to make life difficult for Egypt, they who control the source of the Nile on
which Egypt depends for its very existence. Getting wind of this repugnance,
America kept both Lieberman and Israel out of Africa, thus paved the way for
the noticeable progress that was accomplished on that continent.
And here is the evidence that shows how loyal Michael
Rubin is to Israel, and what he believes resembles Israel:
“Rwanda’s
President Paul Kagame, over the course of his twenty-two-year tenure, has
undertaken a project to erase the social order imported by the Belgians, and
the French cynicism that led to the 1994 anti-Tutsi genocide. In the space
of just two decades, Kagame has further defeated corruption and
transformed a country in ruins into a regional Silicon Valley. In effect,
Rwanda is today Africa’s Israel or Singapore. That Kagame has accomplished this
without the welfare and colonial dynamics at the heart of the Western
non-governmental organizations increases activist animosity from groups like
Human Rights Watch and Amnesty International, less because of human rights or
democracy concerns and more because Rwanda’s success threatens their model”.
So, here is
Michael Rubin who spent decades of his life urging America to bomb the
authoritarian regimes that threatened the democracies, now accusing his former
allies — Human Rights Watch
and Amnesty International — of
feeling threatened by the success of the non-democratic, if not authoritarian, Paul Kagame of Rwanda.
In fact, if there
is any resemblance between Rwanda and Israel, it is that Israel resembles the
Third World county that is Rwanda, whereas Rwanda differs from Israel in that
it can at least feed its people — which it does without running infomercial on
Fox News begging the Christians of America to donate 25 dollars each to feed
the hungry masses of Israel.
Well then, now
that Michael Rubin’s political views have turned 180 degrees, what does he want
to see happen in Africa? Here is what he wants to see:
“Diplomatic
platitudes will not help Africa. The European Union falls short because it
restricts its aid packages to the non-lethal. What Rwanda needs is assistance
with strategic airlifts, armored personnel carriers, civilian armored vehicles,
and fuel. Rwandans would welcome US Special Forces assistance to train and
equip Rwandans heading into conflict zones. The United States and other Western
countries could also support Rwandan peacekeeping and bilateral deployments
with both per diems for police and soldiers, and assistance to the families”.
In other words, Michal
Rubin wants to recruit soldiers in Africa, not to form armies that will protect
their respective countries, but armies that will be paid directly by America
and the Europeans, thus take orders that will instruct them on how to do the
dirty work for their paymasters.
And you can be certain that while Rubin is thinking such plan, he is also thinking how to make Israel benefit from all this, even if this will result in setting Africa on fire.
