Much like the middle East, wtf are e doing in Africa?!? If we wanted to do something meaningful, we would have. Japan, South kore, Israel, etc….
How about we go back in time 50 years and leave all these people alone?
The US is like the 'Amazon' among terrorists.
Wars on the continent only increased since they created Africom.
So, it smells like a lie.
Do wars to ensure the export of resources, which, of course, belong first and foremost to the people of any country before any transnational corp oration is allowed the privilege of having access to them.
This is just common sense. Duh.
😂😂😂😂 Look who's talking about terrorism! 😂😂😂
Africa is the threat
If Al-Qaeda generated more profit for the US elites, you guys would be funding them. Oh wait you already did.
I don't trust or believe him
No one in Africa wants to touch the US, stop fabricating enemies so your investors can make even more money
The pretext of protecting America, its interests, and its people has become useless because there are Palestinians and Lebanese dying with American dollars and at their expense.😎🫴🕎🔯🕎
Well STOP creating all these terrorist organizations and cells and then it will no longer be the biggest threat we have to face.
Problem – Reaction – Solution = $ and power
Propaganda nonsense. You guys are the biggest threats. Only death and destruction follows you guys. Have you not realised lately that America doesn't build anything. Just perpetual bombing and blowing up
"we needed an excuse to have more presence in the continent, especially the resource rich region"
The USA is the biggest threat to any country at any given time…
Sad and ignorant warmongering, sorry. It's propaganda in purest form.
I just say leave them to their own, build a wall, and whatever is left afterwards after the Ebola etc we can most likely work with.
It seems that the US has to be involved in Africa on some level in order to compete with China. Otherwise china is just going to essentially move in and secure a vast amount of minerals and other resources while controlling infrastructure.
Nose hair 🐽
Guy can't pronounce his words correctly
Hey, so, about Israel…
Africans biggest threat is Europeans and the American government sponsoring these terrorist group in Africa like they did in syria and libya.
Jnim and FLA terrorists in the west African sahel are sponsored by france😂😂 france even brought those terrorists in their news station in france called france24😂😂
US CIA created Al Qaeda or ‘the list’
These people's are going to exist with or without us, let's just make sure we aren't the ones funding them through aid
I dont know how but Israel has something to do with this.
Lol
Here we go again! Ugh!
Protecting the homeland first and foremost ✔️
Defendind the U.S. our people ✔️
…our interests; here we go again!
Leave it alone
YOU are the terrorist. YOU fund and train the terrorists.
Threat to attack the actual 50 states of the US and….most importantly, its people that make up the US? Nothing in Africa, that's for sure. You think anyone in the many countries on that continent want to come attack us? Cause that's the line your pushing, or implying claiming there are threats to the US people there. Its the people. Not some craperation's profits. You fight for that??? I feel sorry for you.
Wars on the continent have only increased since the creation of AFRICOM. So….yeah. there it's not mere correlation.
The only threat to the American people I see is the guy in a uniform, and those that think and speak like he does.
Every group he listed was created by American and European governments. You would be hard pressed to find a member of any of those groups, that hasn’t had someone close to them killed in a pointless airstrike, from an American or European aircraft. We love killing people, then calling their friends and families terrorists for swinging back.
