The creation of the US African Command (Africom) of course pointed to US involvements in wars on the continent, and indeed the US has since fought a war in Libya, deployed troops of Uganda, and is planning for another war in Mali.
But what they don’t have compared to, say, CENTCOM, is an established collection of nations with US troops stations waiting for wars to break out. That will soon change, as the Army is planning to send troops to “as many as 35 African nations early next year.”
The numbers will be small, at least at first, but done with an eye on Gen. Raymond Odierno’s “Regionally Aligned Forces” plan, giving the US the ability to quickly deploy troops anywhere on the planet.
The comparative lack of things for the US military to do in Africa has long kept the US out of Africa. Since the establishment of Africom, officials seem to figure that with enough troops and enough countries involved, the question of what wars and where can be worked out at their leisure.
Leave African problems for Africans to solve. Did the American government consult us Africans as to whether we want its military presence? Has it sought the opinion of the American people? I sincerely hope African leaders will unite against this foreign interference and categorically reject it.
When will this madness end?
It will only get worse. This is just the beginning. The Amerikan Fourth Reich marches on like Nazi Germany in the 30's using the "False Flag Doctrine" to expand power and grab resources.
Thanks to G_d that Obama is a man of peace. Heaven help us if he was just another imperialist war monger.
US is the biggest TERRORIST STATE IN THE HISTORY OF MANKIND where designed and implimented 9/11, now is sending troops to 35 nations FOR LOOTING. DOWN WITH US IMPERIALISM AND SHEEPLES WHO SUPPORT IT.
Half of the US has been stolen from Mexico by waging a phony war against Mexico and the rest belongs to indigenous population where massacred by millions. Israel and US are the same.
Who will kill more Africans next year? KONY^2013 or Warlord OBAMA^2013?
Sincce the 1940s, it has been the unannounced position that the USA is the NEW Rome! We are currently in 150 countries with US military representation of one kind or another. The US "Empire" is larger than that of Caesar Augustus; Hitler's Third Reich; Alexander the Great; Napoleon; USSR; and all other empires combined! WE plant the American Eagle wherever we go, just as Rome did. Look at the eagle atop the American flag and you will finally "GET IT!" We have NEVER left any country we entered with our military. We STILL have 17000 soldiers in Iraq, along their Syrian border with Israel. . We now also have a company of USMC in Northern Australia. Africa is just the latest "ASSISTANCE" area we have entered. We are also in outer space. We ARE the NEW World Order! Telling Putin he must leave Crimea is like Putin telling the US we must leave Europe! Never happen. We are the envy of the original Roman Empire. The Bible speaks of a Roman empire who, in the latter days, will become the real enemy. We have met the enemy, and the enemy is US!
