Exactly, and it's also worth noting that US continues to lose influence globally as well. Both India and Indonesia are now in BRICS. It looks like Thailand will flip towards China as well. I really don't see what US can do at this point within the constraints of the system they built.

Yup, it seems like western influence in Africa is collapsing at an accelerating rate.
