And I also oppose deploying soldiers. If they attack our people or ships, they should be fired upon by ship or air only.

Saying Putin is cruel is true, but you are greasing the skids for more interventionism by using an Emotional Appeal as libtards do to try and grease the skids for more military interventionism (the U.S. started out with tens of millions to Ukraine, then billions, now tens of billions).

And also now with more involvement beyond this.

I hope the special operators remember the lack of support given to their brethren when they were last in Somalia. Black Hawk Down, anyone?

SOF have been in that area for a while. I am not sure what Biden expects to do with more forces there.

My SIL was over there in 2017. He did a lot of anti terrorism stuff. He tells me the Chinese are pretty much buying up all of the governments in Africa. The US is way behind the curve there.

In the end, the Chinese won’t go to war with us. We will be like the big anchor store at the end of an old Mall. People will simply stop shopping with us. China will get their resources, the dictators will stay in power, and the US will be on the outside looking in.

Dems/RINOs baited people initially with lies of Russia rolling over all of eastern Europe, went reeee and further peppered their arguments with ignoring Godwin’s Law, they keep supporting more $ to Zelenskyy, more no doubt for the Big Guy, more for the slush funds that warmongering no doubt provides, and all as they keep supporting the U.S. giving handouts to Zelenskyy though the southern border isn’t protected, the U.S. is $30 trillion plus in debt, and they have no problem with the U.S. getting involved more and more than in just providing arms.

They learned nothing from Neocon Bush or Neoliberal Odumba’s wars, like with NATO bombing Libya on unproven allegations that Gaddafi was going to kill 30k of his own people.

One last thing... Look at this from Donald Trump Jr before you change your tagline:

In the early 90’s the US went in under operation Hope, for famine relief.
We pulled troops out.
Why are we sending ground troops in.
Hope not to secure borders.
Was someone attacked.
What are our interests.
Not much from the press

They’re being sent in because of the criticism brandon’s getting about helping Ukraine, but not helping other conflicts.

So, they’re being sent in to try and help brandon’s poll numbers.

Al Shabab does not deserve its notoriety. Its a Dem game whihi costs American blood. Wipe them out Joe, and then go home, and stop diddling with the Somalians so you can send refugees back to Ilhan Omar.

I find it interesting that the NYT refers to him as Mr. Biden, instead of President Biden.

That's an ancient American Pravda/AP Stylebook thing, although long overdue for a woke makeover. The first reference is President, and from then on their street title.

The AP Stylebook also says this is all wrong: "he was hung from the nearest lamppost." It should be written as "he was hanged."

meanwhile, the forests of the USA burn into deserts once agin making the worlds skies brown for another summer but instead of solving problems here, they will just send more resources to fight stupid wars that just create more stupid wars

but deserts are nice

Ukraine needs 40 billion

let it burn, climate change did it

Somalia is a major priority to the globalists pulling Bidens puppet strings

Biden wasnt elected it was a globalist coup

Unable to get us into a shooting war with Russia, let’s try somewhere else.

The New York Slimes refers to every man in an article as “Mr.”. It could be a story about a serial killer and he would still be called “Mr.” It’s just their little style quirk.
