Again without provocation. never enough wars, starvation and death Slava Somalia!!!!!! https://www.militarytimes.com/news/...back-into-somalia-reversing-trump-order/US troops heading back into Somalia, reversing Trump order By Leo Shane III May 16, 09:49 AM U.S. soldiers assigned to the East Africa Response Force participate in an emergency deployment exercise at the U.S. Embassy, Mogadishu, Somalia, April 20, 2022. (Staff Sgt. Alysia Blake/Air Force) Several hundred U.S. servicemembers will be again stationed inside Somalia to help combat growing al-Shabab terrorist forces there, administration officials confirmed Monday. The move reverses an order by President Donald Trump 18 months ago to remove all U.S. military forces from the country over the objections of Pentagon officials. Before then, about 700 American troops had been stationed in the country, helping to train local forces in their fight against terrorist groups.
White House officials said that President Joe Biden made the move to “re-establish a persistent U.S. military presence in Somalia” in response to concerns about the growing strength of al-Shabab in the region, along with other threats affiliated with al Qaeda and the Islamic State. RELATED
US troops ‘commuting’ to Somalia is inefficient and risky, top Africa general says The defense secretary is weighing whether to send troops back to Somalia. By Meghann Myers The mission will include both training friendly Somali forces to combat the terrorist groups and assist on operations “to try and dislodge Shabab from what is a significant amount of territory that it purports to govern and hold.” Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin requested the move as a way to build on U.S. military airstrikes in the region “to increase the safety and effectiveness of our special operators,” a senior administration official said.
Even after the Trump order, U.S. forces continued deploying to Somalia for short rotations to train and facilitate counter-terrorism operations. But military leaders have categorized those restrictions as problematic. In testimony before the Senate in March, Army Gen. Stephen Townsend, head of U.S. Africa Command, called the current arrangement “not effective.” “It’s not efficient, and it puts our troops at greater risk,” Townsend said.
Administration officials would not say how many troops will be deployed, but said it will be fewer than 500. They also did not specify which units will be sent, but said the personnel would come “from U.S. forces that are already generally stationed in that region of Africa.” The senior administration official also emphasized that the move “will not change the scope of the mission that our special operators have conducted in Somalia … and also will not significantly change the Defense Department’s overall posture and resource dedication in East Africa.”

Democrats were only ever anti-war when the purpose of the war in question was to contain communism. When the purpose of the war is to spread globohomo, they are all for it.

The US of A has a history of such practices. Beginning about 1861.
Let not forget General Smedley Darlington Butler’s comments concerning his activities in those banana republics for assorted American business conglomerates either.

Democrats were only ever anti-war when the purpose of the war in question was to contain communism. When the purpose of the war is to spread globohomo, they are all for it. Only if it wasn't their brand of Communism.Remember that several of Obama's sycophants heralded Mao as a great leader.Most members of the Demonrat/Commie/homo/pedo Party believe that Che was a hero. They certainly have bought into the globohomo method of destroying the morality of any nation.Destroy a nations Christian underpinnings with the globohomo agenda and you'll eventually control that nation. Our Founding Fathers knew this and their statement reflected this belief. “Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious People. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other.”

Very important, as Shai-Hulud, or El Kabong or some-such has been growing stronger since Trump pulled the troops out.
Never fear, they’re not going into combat….🙄

Yes they're the 'skinnies' and most of them are 6'6"+ it seems like. Black as coal, dumber than schit. I think the Somalis are “skinny”, but lighter skinned. The really tall, really dark (and skinny) Africans are South Sudanese (Dinka tribe?) The US acts like an empire. We go where we want, when we want, with or without invitation. And we stay even when we are asked to leave. It is like the Roman Empire all over again. Why are we still in Syria and Iraq when both countries have asked us to leave? The only possibly agreeable explanation I can see is that we need to position for a war with Iran. We did our thing in Iraq and Syria. Why are we still there? Get the hell out. Americans don’t want to be an empire, but that is where our elites lead us. I am not 7th Day Adventist, and I will get this wrong, but they believe that the US is one of the beasts (2nd?) in Revelation. And the more I see what we do, the more I agree. We think we are spreading freedom and democracy. But are we? Or are we spreading a NWO that precedes the Anti-Christ, the mark of the beast, that spreads its immorality and filth around the world. Remember the [bleep] flag flying on our Afghanistan Embassy? We may find the the left of our politics repulsive and revolting, an evil we strive against. But when that is the doctrine of the empire, being forced on other people across the world, the US becomes truly evil.

So as long as I am on this soapbox, and out on a limb, look at our “allies” in Europe. There is some serious history there - ties that bind. On the other hand most of those countries make California look moderate. Yes, there are a lot of good people there who are stuck in a political situation they can’t help. But again, look at their politics/policy and join it with that of the US. Are we the good guys? Or more accurately, are our government/alliance the good guys?
I have no question that the true Christians in this empire are the “good guys”. That doesn’t mean our government/countries are.
One final point. Don’t put your faith in any man. Yes, there are some that are good/useful, that will do good things, but by the very nature of a person who wishes to control an empire, they are flawed.
