Do not give up on the US yet. Trump has just two years to bring about results. If he fails and brings only chaos with his tariffs, the Republicans will loose the Congress and Trump will be a lame duck. Policits in the US is not static. A few years ago nobody would have dreamt of a Republican presidential candidate winning the popular vote.  2028 will be another election under very different circumstances.

Muslims and Latinos are soon going to find out what fuck around and find out means!! That little country and its white supremacist leadership is about to have its field day in the killing fields. Gaza will soon be a resort for whites to enjoy and Iran is about to bombed to Stone Age. As for Latinos, I hears there is jealousy among Latinos from different regions and some want others in concentration camps. If you are an immigrant without papers, you better start packing your stuff. The USA is now a plutocracy, I have accepted it. I think if Trump wants one of his sons or daughters to inherit him, they will get elected so we are looking at Trumps or MAGA for many years. I do not foresee any democrat being elected in my lifetime so I am not even going to bother anymore. I think if you have a fight with the government whether it’s for the environment, abortion, LBQTQ, black issues, immigrants, go out there and fight and do not expect blacks to be going out there and fight alone for all these issues only for you to stay home on Election Day. As for me, I have these questions to ask, is my family okay? Im I okay? Are my friends okay? The era of me worrying about these broad issues is over, humans are going to do whatever they want even if it’s against their own interests. In Kenya, I will continue getting involved until Ruto is out of power after which I will also shut it down. The US politics are over for me, I read more about USA politics from Kenyan papers than I do here, Kenyans are really fascinated by USA.

Actually not with Indians but Kenyan politicians cutting deals . You and I had advocated one of the way of doing away with debts was privatization of parastatals , it was a noble idea and could have saved Kenya from debt trap but politicians including Lootall  saw this as avenue to loot and cut deals , Uhuru and his proteges did that in last regime and thats why we are in the crisis we are . Kenyans have said enough is enough . Kenyan economic crisis is because of politicians cutting deals with nothing to show off .

Definitely trust issues with India.
But India is rising - and is the next China.
Ruto should not be afraid of Indians and public sentiment will change.
Chinese were not liked initially - as people had issues with perceived low quality
But they proved themselves.

Good thing with India - rising - we already have historical ties - so Indians will come.
Just maybe not in public projects.

Definitely Adanis are welcome in private ventures.

I agree with the President there. Countries that accept foreign investment and risk are rapidly developing. Kenyans have no money, so outside money must be used to develop the country.  Maybe the president should have attracted  Emirati billionaires like Kagame or Chinese to invest in Kenya instead. Kenyans seem not to trust Indian billionaires. The Chinese are already building skyscrapers in Kilimani and all over Nairobi, but those are private equity firms, and they are going undetected. I think in 2030 most Nairobians will have Chinese landlords simply because Africans have no financial muscle to develop the country in a meaningful way. African governments have recognized this barrier and are attracting capital from foreign capitals left, right, and center. Kenya, due to a trust deficit, is lagging behind in these equity migrations!

I learnt that Biden pardoned his son from Kenyan newspapers, I do not care about stuff like that. I am for whatever people want to do, this time, I am not worried about things that I cannot control or stop.

Dangote will likely be the billionaire to hit the trillion status quickly. That Dangote refinery is something to marvel at. If the African Union rallies behind him, energy costs will slowly spiral downward with drill, drill, drill while augmenting with renewables!
