For the first time, an African country provides military assistance to Ukraine. Guess Which one ?

Morocco wants to join the winning side (y)

Morocco has been a US ally since the beginning. This is not news.

It is ironic given their own actions in Western Sahara though.
 
More and more African nations will start to support Ukraine more openly as Russia is inflicting a food crisis on most of the poor nations of the world through this pointless war.
In the rich North, we focus only on energy costs that Russia has caused to rise but in Africa and other continents, the struggle to feed the population because of Russia is more of a priority.

Can one infer a covert support for Ukraine at present among African nations? Which would be those suspects?

From what I have read the poor nations of the world are blaming the food crisis on the golden billion of Europe. The sanctions complicate food purchases from Russia as the Eu's nuclear option impedes transactions.

And when did wars become pointless? There is nothing pointless about the war. Nato/Eu believes in its divine right to expand, and Russia objects to the approach on its frontiers of a hostile military alliance. That is an excellent casus for war. Throughout all history

Are you sure nations outside the golden billion believe the crisis is because of Russia?

I am not even sure Morocco is all that hot on stepping into the Ukrainian cauldron. More likely it is because Morocco had some stocks of Soviet style weapons that the US has been scouring the world for to send to Ukraine

And you are right, there are no demons or villains. Kind of ironic that Morocco that grabbed Western Sahara can be in a position to object to same grab by Russia

It's as Juin stated early in December - scouring the world for old Soviet weaponry to help / replace parts etc is a priority now as the Ukrainians are used to working with / maintaining old Soviet equipment. I remember seeing really old MiGs in Zambia once - there's a lot of old equipment that can be reused if sent to Ukraine.

Muscovy is scouring the world for old Soviet weaponry as well

Hadn't realised that, maybe they could ask Ukraine if they could donate some of the scrap metal the Russians have left lying around Ukraine's fields.
