Pentagon Assures Us That Donald Trump Will Not be Able to Stop the Endless War in Africa

It’s a good thing that Donald Trump is pulling some of the troops out of Africa. But it’s really only worth something if he stays in office.

As long as there are some troops in a country, the number can be increased very easily. That’s the problem with withdrawals – you have to get them all out, or a policy change can restart a war without an actual invasion.

If Joe Biden does take over, all he is going to need is a connecting point to deliver troops to, and that will mean that he doesn’t have to launch an invasion to bring troops to wartime levels. That is the purpose of these “stay behind forces.” They always do this so that if they ever decide they want to start a big war, they have a place to land without making a big show.

Fox News:

Pentagon officials announced Friday that the “majority” of U.S. troops stationed in Somalia will be removed from the Horn of Africa early next year.

The nearly 700 U.S. soldiers stationed in the East African country, will not necessarily be coming home, but rather posted in neighboring countries or other regions.

“The U.S. is not withdrawing or disengaging from Africa,” Pentagon officials said in a statement Friday afternoon.

“While a change in force posture, this action is not a change in U.S. policy,” the statement continued. “We will continue to degrade violent extremist organizations that could threaten our homeland while ensuring we maintain our strategic advantage in great power competition.”

The withdrawal of troops from Somalia — who fought to counter Islamic extremists, like al-Shabaab — comes just two weeks after President Trump announced the U.S. would be removing troops from Afghanistan and Iraq, leaving a 2,500 U.S. military personnel stronghold in each country.

At home, Trump has also been making moves at the Pentagon. Recently he sacked Defense Secretary Mark Esper, shortly after losing the election in early November.

Esper got on the wrong side of the president after he condemned the use of the Insurrection Act during nationwide protests this summer. The 1807 Act would have allowed Trump to deploy National Guard troops within the U.S.

Acting Defense Secretary Christopher C. Miller fired the head of the Pentagon’s Defeat ISIS Task Force, Christopher P. Maier, earlier this week.

But even as conflict within Afghanistan has calmed in comparison to the early days of the U.S. war efforts there, Islamic-based terrorism in Somalia remains a heightened threat.

A threat to who?

To my family, at their house in Ohio?

Or to someone I don’t give a crap about?

Frankly, I would like to see the US military protecting my people in Ohio from the Somalians that were brought there as refugees from a war the US military started.

A CIA officer was killed last week during a raid in Somalia against al-Shabaab – a group considered the most deadly al Qaeda affiliate in the world.

Three Americans were killed earlier this year after al-Shabaab attacked a military base in neighboring Kenya.

The group gained notoriety after its 2013 attack at a Kenya mall, killing more than 60 people. In response, the Obama administration deployed the largest number of U.S. special forces to Somalia since 1993. That Clinton-era deployment resulted in the Battle of Mogadishu, commonly known as the “Black Hawk Down” incident which was featured in a bestselling book and feature film.

But the Pentagon remains steadfast in confirming the U.S. is not backing down from commitments in the region.

“We remain committed to our African partners and enduring support through a whole-of-government approach,” Department of Defense officials said Friday.

What for?

Who is this commitment to?

The Africans?

Why don’t they solve their own problems? I have a feeling they would rather solve their own problems, in fact.

This US Empire doesn’t benefit anyone other than the globalist Jews that control it. It doesn’t benefit the people we occupy, and it sure as hell doesn’t benefit us. It is expensive, it’s evil, and it makes the whole world hate America.

This “forever war” paradigm is the result of there being great wealth in the United States. Boomers were living high on the hog, and not thinking about what the government was doing. Now, with America being stretched increasingly thin, it’s time to reevaluate this.

That’s what Donald Trump was elected to do. He was elected twice to do that. Biden represents the opposite – the entrenched establishment pushing the status quo of flooding the world with Jewish cultural and military influence while we, the American people, drown.

We invaded Somalia and then we invited Somalia to invade us. Everyone lost.
