Every time we get more horsepower they mostly devote it to graphics that look slightly more spectacular. Booooooring

It's corporate-speak that means nothing. The same company "focused on it's core business" today will buy something unrelated sometime later and say it's "poised for growth in a growing market".

I think the poll question was about support of the new government's policies. I can't answer the second question as I have no idea how this poll was done.

The world is way more exploitative than you seem to recognize. I suggest researching unequal exchange.

"Beyond this, outright corruption has also played a part in maintaining the postcolonial order. Françafrique has comprised countries notorious for human rights violations, including Niger. Subservient puppet leaders ignored democratic progress in return for massive aid programmes. Bribes have been paid via arms deals and other help with security, and – of course – in hard cash that has been laundered."

It seems to me that neither side deserves support but the west deserves less. The people of the country seem to support to coup by a wide margin.
