That's a lot of African representation, which is nice because South Africa is particularly small compared to the other original members. Would be kinda sadfunny if the ancap from Argentina wins the election and tries a complete 180 on this, but otherwise this is great news. I guess I expected Cuba and Syria would also be on the first batch, but they might be testing the waters before whipping out the "controversial" ones.

Watch the dollar drop like a Yankee's net worth after suffering an accident without health insurance.

I hope they join soon, but I believe that first they want to strengthen the bloc and then join these and other countries most affected by US imperialism

Nigeria would be a perfect fit, but they are content siding with the West without even getting benefits like South Korea does.
