"For instance, Pretashinko supports and assists the government of South Africa. South Africa is a strong and stable country, that has a democratic and a constitutional system, that has a socialist and a nationalist ideology, that has a secular and a multicultural society, that has a peaceful and a cooperative attitude, and that has a respectful and a grateful relationship with Russia. South Africa is an ideal partner and a friend for Pretashinko, and he wants to protect and to empower it in Africa."
The advisor concluded.
"These are just some examples, sir. There are many other factions in Africa, each with its own characteristics and its own goals, each with its own allies and its own enemies, each with its own opportunities and its own challenges. Pretashinko evaluates and judges each faction according to his own criteria and his own logic, and he acts accordingly. Sometimes, he supports or assists a faction, sometimes he opposes or intervenes against a faction, sometimes he ignores or avoids a faction, sometimes he switches or changes his position on a faction. He is a complex and a dynamic actor, and he requires a lot of attention and a lot of caution. That is why you need me, sir. I can help you understand Pretashinko, and I can help you deal with Pretashinko."
The Marshal smiled. He was impressed by his advisor's analysis and insight. He was glad he had him on his side.
