So, the EU is now treating foreign aid like a Tinder date—swiping right on minerals and energy in Africa while ghosting the rest of the world. It’s like they finally realized, “Hey, we can get some shiny new toys if we throw some cash around!” Who knew that development assistance was just a transactional game of “What’s in it for me?”
Instead of a cozy dinner, it’s all about negotiating the price of copper and cobalt. I guess romance is dead, and we’re all just looking for our next big investment! What do you think? Are we really doing this for the greater good, or just lusting after resources?
