Why Are African Countries Buying All These High-Tech Jet Fighters?

Here's my guess:

These countries can buy 'war stuff' is because idiot liberal elites feed their populations for them... the cost of being stupid in these countries is ZERO.

I'm NOT saying white liberal elites are doing this out of the kindness of their hearts - they're not... but because elites get massive kickbacks from these corrupt cultures. Liberal elites have put the scum at the top - and the honest man at the bottom.

This is NOT going to end well...

As I suspected; It is Bush’s fault!

“Last year, we launched the Africa Financial Sector Initiative. As part of this effort, OPIC mobilized $750 million in investment capital for African businesses,” President Bush said in a speech on the eve of his February 15-21 trip to Benin, Tanzania, Rwanda, Ghana, and Liberia. “Today, I’m announcing that OPIC will support five new investment funds that will mobilize an additional $875 million, for a total of more than $1.6 billion in new capital.”

Bribery of state purchasing officials and empowered state leaders.

End of story.
