Trump Running a Seven Year Military Operation in Somalia for Some Reason

With all of his attacks on Ilhan Omar, you might think Donald Trump hates Somalians.

In fact, he only hates it when Somalians point out the fact that America is totally controlled by Jews.

When Somalians are just fighting an endless war, he loves them and will send them hundreds of millions of dollars of your money to help them with their endless war.

CNN:

This week President Donald Trump signed an executive order extending a presidential declaration of a national emergency concerning Somalia for another year, calling the Islamist insurgency plaguing that country an “unusual and extraordinary threat” to the US.

But even if that is the last extension of the declaration, US defense officials say the mission in the country is likely to take years to complete.

The fight there hinges on US Special Operations Forces being able to train an elite Somali army unit capable of defeating al Qaeda-linked militants on the ground. The commitment to the East African nation comes after the President has signaled a desire to reduce US troop levels across the globe and as the administration is in the process of withdrawing forces from Syria.

No he isn’t in the process of doing that.

That is a hoax.

As The Wall Street Journal reported a month ago, Trump is planning to leave 1000 troops in Syria.

These troops are there to try to get killed so that Bolton can justify sending more troops.

There is not a single thing that Israel wants that Trump won’t do, because the Trump administration is brutally occupied by the de facto Mossad agent Jared Kushner.

While officials say the effort is making progress, they tell CNN that the US training mission is likely to not be completed until 2026.

For nearly two years, a small team of US Special Operations forces has been embedded with the Somali National Army, assisting in the fight against the militant group Al-Shabaab. As well as advising on airstrikes and ground assaults, the Navy SEAL-led team’s primary task is to train and build Somalia its own elite light infantry force.

“The plan is to build two companies a year, with the end-state being five battalions and a brigade headquarters element,” Becky Farmer, a spokesperson for Africa Command which oversees US military operations on the continent, told CNN in a statement.

“We think it’s going to take approximately seven years for the Somalis to absorb all of these forces,” a defense official familiar with the US counterterrorism strategy in Somalia told CNN.

“If everything works out and however many miracles line up to make this happen it could go faster, and it could go slower,” he added.

A quarter century after the events surrounding “Black Hawk Down,” the incident that killed 18 US soldiers in Mogadishu, the US military finds itself more actively engaged in Somalia than at any time since.

While US military advisers have been in Somalia since at least 2013, the effort has gotten a major boost under the Trump Administration, which volunteered to undertake the Danab advisory mission in 2017 in addition to expanding drone strikes, and in December reopened the American diplomatic mission in Mogadishu for the first time since 1991.

Trump authorized the military to carry out precision strikes targeting Al-Shabaab in March 2017. Prior to that the US military was authorized to conduct airstrikes only in defense of advisers on the ground.

Thanks for that, Donald.

When I shilled away my entire life for you, this is really what I wanted: to protect fucking Somalia.

That’s what all your voters were dreaming of.

A democratic Somalia.

The administration regards the fight against the militant group Al-Shabaab in Somalia as critical to protecting America’s primary strategic allies in the region such as Kenya and Ethiopia which have been hit by Al Shabaab-linked terror attacks in the recent years.

The current strategy is partly a result of a May 2017 conference held in London, where a group of countries including the UK, US, Kenya and Ethiopia along with representatives from the UN, African Union and European Union, met to discuss the future of Somalia.

American diplomats, military officers, and USAID officials all told CNN that they see progress in Somalia, with many citing increased security in major cities and towns and government reform efforts.

Trump’s extension of the emergency declaration came the same day Somalia’s Prime Minister Hassan Khayre visited the White House for a meeting with Trump’s National Security Adviser John Bolton.

The hope is that eventually the elite Somali troops will be able to drive Al-Shabaab from strategic corridors and areas near the capital, and keep them from attacking Mogadishu.

For now though, the Somalis are still heavily reliant on US forces, particularly for functions like planning and intelligence. “We’re still involved in every single operation,” a defense official told CNN.

Yeah, maybe their inability to plan their own operations relates to the fact that they have one of the lowest average IQs on earth.

Literally, the average person in Somalia is mentally retarded.

But under Donald Trump, their problems are our problems.

The last US soldier that was killed in Somalia was in June 2018, US Army Sgt. Alexander Conrad was killed and three other soldiers were wounded by “indirect fire” after they came under attack while helping local forces set up the kind of combat outpost the US military sees as critical to its strategy in Somalia.

The US military estimates that Al-Shabaab commands somewhere between 5,000 to 7,000 fighters and still controls about 20% of Somalia’s territory.

It’s a far cry from Al-Shabaab’s heyday when it controlled most of the country including the towns of Kismayo and Baraawe and even some parts of the capital, Mogadishu.

“Folks in the United States, they think Blackhawk Down and things like that,” a USAID official told CNN, saying that the country has made major improvements in recent years, thanks largely to the improved relationship between the US and Somali governments since the December re-establishment of the US diplomatic mission in Mogadishu, the first such presence since 1991.

Trump is a worse warmonger than Bill Clinton, George W. Bush and Obama.

He is sending troops to places that those three never even thought to send troops.

The US does also provide hundreds of millions of dollars in humanitarian aid to meet more short term emergency requirements like famine relief.

And even if Al-Shabaab is defeated, officials say other security challenges remain.

“It’s not just Al-Shabaab, There are clan grievances here that go back hundreds of years, that has to be sorted out too,” one USAID official said.

Yeah.

Our job to fix hundreds of years old tribal problems in Africa.

Our job.

Trump’s job.

What are some things that are not Trump’s job?

Trump is the world’s president.

Or the Jew’s president.

He isn’t our president, that’s for sure.
