Not out of Africa

While mainstream media focuses on Trump's tone deaf handling of a widow grieving her soldier husband's death in Niger, along with three others, the American electorate is denied the real story: the war party's expansion of perpetual into Africa. The initial 100 soldiers inserted into Niger four years ago has grown to over 800. Hundreds more are fighting imagined bad guys in Mali, Chad, Burkina Faso, C.A.R., South Sudan, Ethiopia, Djibouti, Somalia, Kenya and Uganda.  America's Masters of War are asking for a whopping $5.2 billion next year to support the Africa wing of perpetual war. Why so much? A war party spokesman explained that Africa's vastness makes even relatively small amounts of canon fodder costly to support. Meanwhile back home, infrastructure, health care, education, the environment, consumer protection are all targeted for budgetary hits to support this expansion. Africa, like the Middle East, is becoming just another US Roach Motel....the US military goes in, but never comes out.
