How does one say “Africa wins again” in Chinese?

Maybe something like..."May you live in interesting times". A reverse curse if you will.

“October?”

Last October. I think that was when Trump-haters LEAKED word of the operation, or at least that was suspected...our men never had a chance.

Why are we wasting time and lives trying to fight other folks fights for them?

If they do not wish to survive on their own, how will they ever advance as a people?

Why did 8 years go to waste before Trump arrived? ‘Soft’ power works against terrorists? That was the doctrine for 8 years and more..

The Dark Continent is as short of solid leadership as ever... and still full of resources and riches that need not be exploited by others if corruption wasn’t so rampant in gubamints run by thugs and shysters.

Special Ops would appreciate a little time to regroup, I’m sure.. and a clearer mission next go around.
