Yues Senate hawks Call Ruto Allegiance to Kung Fu FP Fumble Strategic Error

Many African nations maintain troubling ties with China, including key national security partners. Just last month, President Ruto declared Kenya a major non-NATO ally, while at the same time, China and Kenya appear as co-architects of a so-called new world order. This is not merely alignment with China—it signals allegiance. The speech that outlines this development will be submitted for the record at the conclusion of the hearing.

Relying on leaders who openly embrace Beijing is a strategic error. It is time to reassess the United States' relationship with Kenya and other nations that are forging close bonds with China. This is not only about embracing China but also about endorsing the concept of a "new world order."

Still, there remain countries where meaningful engagement is possible—but only if approached with sober judgment and clear-eyed realism. U.S. policy in Africa must shift away from focusing on individual leaders and instead prioritize the strengthening of institutions, expansion of private sector partnerships, and empowerment of the region’s youthful and dynamic populations.

This hearing takes place at a moment of both profound urgency and real opportunity. By aligning our strategy and expenditures with the true potential of our regional partners, we can forge stronger, mutually beneficial relationships that advance both African progress and U.S. national interests—ultimately making America safer, stronger, and more prosperous.

Watching President Ruto stand alongside Chinese officials, speaking about a "new world order," is deeply unsettling, especially considering the extensive work the United States has invested in the region. The original world order, constructed after World War II, was led by the U.S. and democratic, capitalist nations that value human rights. In contrast, the "new world order" being discussed today appears driven by autocratic regimes—communist and socialist states that show little regard for human rights. It is alarming to see countries expressing interest in joining or promoting this alternative vision, given that the existing order, while imperfect, has served the world far better than what would emerge under authoritarian influence.

One reason for this shift may lie in how the U.S. engages in Africa. Our approach often centers on individual leaders rather than national institutions, making our efforts vulnerable to political shifts. This individual-centric model seems especially pronounced in Africa.

The senator should address Trump's embrace of China, the Middle East, Russia, North Korea, Syria, and other countries that never value human rights. How can you impose tariffs of over 10% on Kenya and other countries and expect them to remain stationary? They have to look for allies all over! Just listen to the whole foreign relations committee, and you can tell Africa is only talked about in terms of US resources and how China is eating their lunch in raw materials/minerals. The East and the west need Africa more than Africa needs them. The west is just poor, but better in managing their resources!

[Nefertiti]

The US (and generally the West) is accustomed to neocolonial approach to Africa and the Global South in the ended unipolar period. That is how you have a transactional  Trump ripping off the Gulf states and calling it diplomacy. It seems for the right amount he is ready to change any policy- Israel's problem is they are used to receiving the goodies which won't cut with Trump.

The West must re-learn how approach a multipolar world.

For Kenya: Trump would have to undo the tariffs, restore AGOA, restore USAID, restore Haiti deal, etc. Otherwise he has nothing to offer Ruto compared to Xi Jinping.

Risch is unrelenting.

Looks they have even demanded the compensation of protest victims.

How big is Ruto's upset in the minerals cartels?

The US love a sleepy and non performing Presidents, especially those in Africa. The moment those massive affordable houses started popping up like mushrooms to eradicate slums, I knew he'd be a target almost instantaneously. US syllabus, especially civics in Elementary, High school, and Universities have extensive materials about Kibera, Korogocho, Mukuru slums, etc. Students study it, write papers, make graphics/videos, etc., from the late 80s to 2025. I have had to help my daughter complete her work by finding pictures for powerpoint slides etc. Now when you go to google images of Kenyan slums, you find pictures like this here and there, and it is not compatible with the US syllabus! There is nothing more Americans hate than someone who is destined to be poor and trying to rise. They call it "uppity."
US media is crazy. Even when there was bombing at the Mall, CNN showed images, but since it looked like US malls, they had to throw in "It is jewish owned" every now and then to continue pleasing YT Americans who constantly like to be validated as far as superiority is concerned!

Ruto risky moves were high rewards serious kwesekwensis stuff.

With Trump and Bannon madness where nuking China and its interests is in the laser focus, we can only pray for outcomes that do not include serious resurgence of Al Shaitan to hurt Chinese ports.

The new AFRICOM structure is a deadly pointer of Yues African foreign policy with an  Iraq/Afghanistan war hawk having been confirmed as the leader.

Trump is all talk, and every move he makes hurts United States people badly. Currently, grocery prices and the prices of most goods are at an all-time high. With the dwindling of jobs, the hotel industry, fast food joints, retail, and regular jobs that the masses depend on have once again gone back to $10.75 an hour from the $15-18 it was before Biden left office.  Consequences of his actions multiply in the US
In the meantime California, the wealthiest state in the USA, just sent her entire Cabinet to Kenya to see how they can invest heavily in Kenya. I'm sure Trump will likely recall his handpicked ambassador for accompanying California delegation to see award-winning Dr. Ruto

Nope, he is choking it very hard inside the United States. Farmers are talking about 1 billion per day in losses. Immigration Lawyers are closing shop because immigrants have decided to stay underground for 2-3 years until Trump is out. Farmers and small business people are in bankruptcies while losing homes in droves. Trump is China's greatest asset because he is busy dismantling the US as a superpower!

Kawaida chatter?

In its latest Country Reports on Human Rights Practices- Kenya 2024 Human Rights Report, the U.S. Department of State notes that Kenya experienced a marked decline in adherence to constitutional protections related to arrests and detention last year.

The report points out that while Kenya’s Constitution guarantees that arrested individuals must be charged, informed of the reasons for their detention, or released within 24 hours, police frequently flouted these requirements.

We are on to Iran.

[RV Heavy Hitter!]

We are on to Iran.

Great, even Americans now prefer doing business with Iran than Israel, but military industrial complex and warmongers want Iran to be Isolated like Cuba. Iran has robust economy with 90+ million people who drink coffee and Tea. Kenyan farmer will bank if favorable trade deals are struck!
