They did try their darndest on Africa actually..... but they haplessly tripped and accidentally hit their head into IMF debt trapping them, their left hand landed straight onto the detonation button for launching NATO bombs directed at certain places, their right hand somehow found itself overthrowing leaders and vassalizing states and destabilizing them, causing perpetual wars to continue to be perpetual, all in the midst of their fall.

Poor them :((((.... sure hope that their successor won't "accidentally" do the same to them.
