Have you ever wondered why Putin of Russia or Xi Jinping of China have taken such a key interest in the continent of Africa?

Surely it couldn’t be to upstage President George W. Bush’s administration that saved the lives of millions of Africans with help from Condelizza Rice, General Powell, and Dr. Fauci by spreading the dangers of HIV and providing treatment to those already infected.

After all, Putin and Xi Jinping have no problem killing hundredths of thousands of innocent Chinese and Russians. The answer is two fold: One, because of all the minerals and gold mines in many of the countries and Two, because many of the countries are now controlled by dictators who enjoy the benefits of being rich, and who vote with the the Russians and Chinese on all measures put before the U.N. and other organizations that actually want to help the people.

Have you ever wondered why Donald Trump seems to always side with Putin? Could it be because Trump is sexually attractive to the stud? Or could it be because Russians own five condos in Trump Tower and because Mr. Trump has taken out so many suspicious loans that lead right back to Russian obligees.

These are just a couple of the questions answered by Ms. Applebaum in her new book “Autocracy, Inc.” Ms. Applebaum is one of the most respected, award winning historical biography’s and political analyst in the world. For all those who doubt the accuracy of her reporting, please take a chance and read her book. It is one of the most important books that I have read about the world we live in at this moment and I highly, highly, recommend it.
