We all 'know' that the Horn of Africa poses a deadly threat to the USA.
I know, I know, it is really the Red Sea that the USA wants to dominate, and the Horn is handy for that. Something, something - the decades-old Israeli agenda to dig an alternative to the Suez canal, since they are still butt-hurt over losing that fight (1956).
However, Djibouti, especially is very dangerous to citizens of the USA /s:
Djibouti, (a postage stamp) at the entrance of the Red Sea, is a poor, predominantly urban country, characterized by high rates of illiteracy, unemployment, and childhood malnutrition. Approximately 70% of the population lives in cities and towns (predominantly in the capital, Djibouti). The rural population subsists primarily on nomadic herding.
So, USA will be once again, bombing starving children and goat-farmers. just think of all that juicy human trafficking though! And once again we catch the 'strategists' thinking in Big Arrow offensives. LOL
A guy that was in our fire dept and is a neighbor was deployed in Djibouti for a year. Didn’t say much about what he did aside from being navy and stuck onshore in a sand filled shithole. He says it was supporting activities in the Gulf of Aden, anti pirate, etc.
I wonder if Cambridge Springs, as a city or county, is considered majority Republican?
Punishment?
Fetterman?
It's a fine line between force protection and force projection.
Horn of Africa = Ethiopia, Eritrea, Somalia, and Djibouti
Lovely.
Lucky they won't be near Drambuie.
