Chad’s government threatens to kick out US troops as Russia expands influence in Africa
CNN ^ | 4/18/24 | Haley Britzky

The US risks losing its military presence in another African country as the government of Chad sent a letter threatening to end a critical security agreement, according to four US sources, a move that threatens to cede more US influence in the region to Russia.

In a letter sent to the US defense attaché last week, Chadian officials threatened to cancel the Status of Forces Agreement, or SOFA, which determines the rules and conditions under which US military personnel can operate in the country. While the letter did not directly order the US military to leave Chad, the officials told CNN that it said all US forces would have to leave the French base in N’Djamena.

“...our nations broken up into bits and pieces of fiefdoms, yet suddenly the powers that destroyed us decide to leave us alone? ...”


That’s right. Why would they invade ?

It’s across the ocean from them. And they are not NeoCons.

Britain used to have a global Empire. It was defeated overseas, but who (except for illegal immigrants) tries to invade them now ?

“””“I want NATO the EU and the DC Globohomo Empire to collapse and die. Defeat in war leading to the collapse of a decaying Empire would be the historic norm.””””
“””“By whatever means the Lord intends, the evil rulers of Globohomo America, the EU and NATO need to fall.” “”””
“”””DC Regime collapse almost certainly means both the USA and Canada breaking apart into multiple smaller states, many dominated by Cartels. And we will have to rebuild from there.””””

It wouldn’t be an invasion, if we are crushed out of existence and broken up into pieces and fiefdoms and all the West and America are no longer governments and nations then there would be no one left to oppose them running their mew territory.

Then it would be an occupation, not an invasion, they would merely absorb their conquered land and wealth.

One of the things about NeoCons, is they cannot conceive of any follow-on to military victory other than an overseas invasion and occupation.

The idea of reducing the military back to peacetime levels, and going back to peace-time activities never occurs to them.

In your mind then, when America and the nations of Europe are defeated and broken up and no longer exist because of the world-wide military successes of China/Russia, then the world will find peace and Red China/Russia will mostly eliminate their militaries, and basically the world will be a better place without Western man and the Americans.

There are always going to be wars and conflict.

The goal of diplomacy and security policy ought to be to try to limit their scope, limit the number of countries involved, limit their geographical reach.

Alliance monsters like NATO do the exact opposite. Any war with NATO is automatically World War. So every member of NATO is underwriting unlimited military liability for 31 other countries. And their Deep States, which may not be under control of those Governments.

The breakup of Alliance/monsters like NATO, and, frankly, the breakup of global perpetual war actors like NeoCon America, reduces the overall risk of war.

And certainly reduces the risk of global scale war.

This is what you have said about China/Russia and your hopes for them to conquer us and the improvement it will make.

If they read all your posts they will see what is posted in post 108.

They will also see your war against conservatism and voting in federal elections.

The Bible has Turkey joining with Russia for the latter days with Ezekiel. Always put your money there.

Is it a joke, yes? Bribes and NGO rioters are the main tools of the US influence in the third world.
Regarding Africa, Russians are popular because they are the opposite.

One shouldn’t complain about the consequences of what he wanted so badly.
Russia and China would have been doing just fine simply by trading with Western countries.
Washington for some reason decided to designate them sworn enemies.
