When I say Atlantic Council Ideology, what I mean is this kind of thing where NATO think tank talk about “decolonizing Russia” as way of enforcing US-Capital. In my experience, the only people talking about “imperialist Russia” on the internets are bloodthirsty liberals, anti-anti-imperialist Western Left, and so-called “dissidents”. It is so-called “Russian Imperialism” in Syria that has saved untold numbers from the brutality of the real imperialists so you can understand why I am especially wary of such statements. Additionally, the Western media apparatus has spread every possible lie about Wagner Group and Russia in Africa.
Since you are saying you have concerns, what is your alternative to the security assistance provided by Wagner in the face of NATO-backed death squads that kill many hundreds of Africans in the Sahel every month?

Well it will sound naïve, but a homegrown, African force. A foreign intervention is a foreign intervention. Perhaps soldiers trained in China and then returning to keep the NATO out.
That said, it’s all “what if”. We’re dealing with what is, so I’ll concede for now.

Imperialism is a system with a center that center is US. For Russia to “become Imperialist” is so far off in the future it is mythology like a crystal ball.
