So Chinese hospital ships are now in the Carribean, helping Jamaica.♥️🕊️

It's fascinating that we're all getting front row seats to see if threats and violence (US approach), or compliments and assistance (Chinese approach) will be more effective by 2030 at securing resources from developing nations.

Prior to the 21st century, the most effective way for an empire to build wealth, was unquestionably "Kill the Black and brown people, and steal their stuff."

The empires growing weath the fastest, were the most belligerent. Dutch. British. American.

But in the 21st century, that's less effective.🤷🏿‍♂️

In the 21st century the superpower growing wealth the fastest, is by far the least belligerent, least imperial, least colonizing.

(I didn't say zero violent or zero colonizing. I said least. If you've never taken even one African history course or lived on the continent, don't try to speak on this)

Shout out to everyone that will misread this as being pro-China. This has nothing to do with China. Americans, this has 100% to do with us.

You can't change another nation's approach. You can only change your own.

We can't stop their hospital ship from docking. But we can send ours.

Compete.

@mekkaokereke Competition is a good thing? Yes, if it is competing to help the most!

@mekkaokereke Compete with AMERICAN health care?

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

Three quarters of an American hospital ship would be payment processing!

Fuck trump and everything he stands for.

@mekkaokereke Beau of the Fifth Column used to talk about wanting America to stop being the World Police, and focus on being the World Paramedic.

It's a great thought. It's also much cheaper and serves our interests better than our long-standing approach.

Ireland remains the most consistent nation that constantly does good.

@mekkaokereke Alas, the current U.S. administration is incapable of decency.

@mekkaokereke Australia was pretty outraged when China had the audacity to build a new hospital in Papua New Guinea. That's OUR neocolony, dammit!
