Democrats love war, even when they have to go looking for one. The New York Times is reporting that Joe Biden has signed a Defense Dept order authorizing 700 combat troops to redeploy to Somalia, reversing the Trump-era troop withdrawal.
WASHINGTON — President Biden has signed an order authorizing the military to once again deploy hundreds of Special Operations forces inside Somalia — largely reversing the decision by President Donald J. Trump to withdraw nearly all 700 ground troops who had been stationed there, according to four officials familiar with the matter.
In addition, Mr. Biden has approved a Pentagon request for standing authority to target about a dozen suspected leaders of Al Shabab, the Somali terrorist group that is affiliated with Al Qaeda, three of the officials said. Since Mr. Biden took office, airstrikes have largely been limited to those meant to defend partner forces facing an immediate threat.
Together, the decisions by Mr. Biden, described by the officials on the condition of anonymity, will revive an open-ended American counterterrorism operation that has amounted to a slow-burn war through three administrations. (read more)
No words
I do…discretion prevents me.
I do not understand why we are letting senile lunatics destroy our country. Other than that, words fail me also.
I know your question was rhetorical, but the non-rhetorical answer is, I believe, we don’t know how to stop it.
There are options but no one capable wants to take the lead.
I thought a ex-military or active military leader would have emerged by now, after all they took an oath to protect this country and our Constitutional Republic from all enemies foreign and domestic.
However in today’s tech society a Paul Revere would be the only safe way to organize.
Would your last word be pronounced “leed” or “led?
you bring up an excellent point. at some time it is going to take graveyard bravery to stop the war machine of the deep state. let’s at least give those willing to try in ’24 as much support in ’22 as possible.
as the white flags proliferate in ukraine, perhaps even many of biden’s remaining supporters will see the error of his ways.
It should have been stopped much sooner than this, sooner than the 2020 coup de’tat, sooner than the Clinton/Obama/Biden/etc, crime families rose to power. It’s much more difficult now! If we’re not careful, and if we don’t do something, this coming “election” may be our last!
The stolen election was our last as evidenced by the irreversible destruction since.
And, we have no leaders. We are working to take care of our families. We are older and have bad knees, backs, etc. And there are other reasons, I’m sure.
Because we are too chickenshit to arm up and go play 1776 in DC and drag these tyrants out by their hair.
You are mistaken about the US being destroyed by a senile president. He certainly does not understand what is going on in the real world but his puppeteer does. This is what all Americans should demand to know – who is pulling the strings and how can they be held accountable? That person or persons are actually responsible for the mess in the US. Biden is telling the public what they want him to tell them – not something he has worked out in a thoughtful process on his own.
Am I over-simplifying their agenda by describing it as “Charles Manson’s plot” on a national/global scale? It sure seems like it to me!

I despair at the tribalism and chauvinism of Democrats.
They support their leaders, good or bad. Hillary or Joe Biden, their corruption is simply not the business of the serfs.
And they blindly accept the right of the next in the line of succession to take power, be it a good or bad person.
It’s feudalism, neo-feudalism, and you get no actual vote in the ascension to power of the next in line.
Going forward, Democrats will not support Republican Presidents, even in time of crisis.
They have abandoned the concept of free and fair elections: that’s not feudalism.
How to ameliorate this dire threat to democracy? Well, the bureaucrats are the new vassals, so the bureaucrat class has to be weakened and shrunken. The federal bureaucracy must be re- distributed across the country, and their numbers reduced. Privatize the functions of the bureaucrats, wherever possible.
If these matters continue unaddressed then America will cease to be a multi-party democracy.
America is a republic and has never been a democracy
And we have not been multi party in many decades
If you have paid attention.
Semantics, you get the point!
“In addition, Mr. Biden has approved a Pentagon request for standing authority to target about a dozen suspected leaders of Al Shabab, the Somali terrorist group that is affiliated with Al Qaeda, three of the officials said.”
Lots of Somali’s, like democrats, have an appetite for war and there are Somali enclaves around the USA. I wonder how those here will react to the pentagon success at a few targets approved?
Ilhan Omar will let us know.
Why don’t we ask Ilhan from MN how she feels about it ?? LOL
He’s throwing more against the wall to see what sticks. It’s unlikely Ukraine arouses black voters, maybe Somalia will.
I assure you Black Americans have little to no concern of what happens 6000 miles away in east Africa. Why would they?
all I can say is
Make Lamp Post Ornaments Great Again !
Is Zelensky in Somalia?

It is hard for me to see how military personnel can have confidence in our commander in chief or senior commanders who will execute such a repulsive order.
Perhaps local communities should seek developing vocational trading programs so our young citizens can receive the same training and opportunities that attracts many to enlist in the military. The military provides many opportunities for many young people in situations they are desperate to escape from, and military service helped me immensely. But the military is changing so perhaps veterans and business leaders should seek civilian programs that can provide similar services.
My sense is that these unending wars that are killing and crippling our youths while bleeding the nation financially will only stop when politicians need to bring back a draft. My suspicion is that they will back of from never ending foreign wars when faced with the politically catastrophic consequences of bringing back a draft.
Nice idea, but who is going to do it, put the programs together, fund it, and all the rest. OathKeepers was supposed to work, and we see where that went.
What. The. Hell.
Both parties love war, we need to cut back defence spending by 50% of its current levels.
America First doesn’t and tired of endless US intervention.
I’ll point out there is no “America first” party… It’s largely just a synonym of the word Republican and I largely believe that is intentional based on the history of the party and these symptoms.
That’s not true. Look at one of their polls.
We must increase military spending for our defense. I strongly disagree because we go around the world starting wars.
We gave it away for nothing.
Indeed.
There it is.
And the jurors seated in the Sussman trial are Dems.
Dear God in heaven! We need you now.
Can’t wait for another Black Hawk Down, dragging our soldiers through the street. Won’t mean anything, like the 12 killed in Afghanistan.
18 killed and 75 wounded. Clinton wanted to look tough at withdrawing armor. It didn’t work out too well for those on the ground.
Cannot even imagine how after they have messed up our Country and Afghanistan what a mess there will be in Somalia. Pray for our troops because these incompetent scum seem to have a fixation on getting rid of as many American’s as they can.
They’re probably being sent on a mission to discover and retrieve MORE Brother/Husbands of Ilhan Omar.
I am censored for just my thoughts on this!
Another Vietnam in the making and we the people have no say-so in this move other than “send us your children and your money” for the Cabal to do with as they feel fit.
Can anyone tell me how this is any different from Communism?
No surprise. Trump had thrown a wrench in all of these Democratic “ventures” overseas. We will soon see a new build up against Syria as well. Very predictable back when the election was stolen by the Global Cabal – Biden is just a sad little man they use, which is really reprehensible when you think about how they are using a man that can barely function or keep up with the prompts. While Biden has always been one of the most corrupt politicians in USA, using an obviously sick man as a prop is beyond words and it surprises me how little people are speaking out against the Left’s use of this old man.
Another Black Hawk Down coming our way.
What does The Fourth of July mean to you? TOAD
Follow the money.
Maybe we can get some Nigerians to secure our border?
Biden: The Bizarro Trump
Biden promised Jesse Smolett he would stop at nothing find the Trump supporters who beat him up. He has a lead in Somolia and he is following it up.
Anything to keep the war machine running …………read the bills for Ukraine………….the money goes to the war machine
How exactly is the mess in Somalia threatening any American interests? Isn’t it mostly a giant civil war that has been going on forever? Recently I was talking to a friend of mine, a retired General, who was deployed there for six months over ten years ago. He and his team were deployed there for a special project that was expected to take a year. After just a couple of days in-country, he and his command staff put together a plan that would enable them to work almost 24/7, but complete the mission in half the time. He said Somalia is horrible, and his troops were happy to work much harder if it meant they could go home sooner. When he got back to the States he told his commanding officer that he would NEVER go back there.
The U.S. has been there for a long time. Allegedly we are training Somalian troops, but you would think that over the years we would have trained enough of their troops that they should be able to do it themselves. Of course, they are probably very much like the Afghan forces who attended the training we provided, but never had the will or the interest in fighting the battle themselves. Without the U.S., they would just as soon turn the whole country back to the Taliban, which is exactly what happened. How is Somalia any different? Biden can say we’re fighting the terrorists there so we don’t have to fight them here, but frankly, the Southern border is open for business for any and all terrorists who want to come here, and we are importing thousands of Somalian “refugees” who are turning areas of major cities into “Little Somalia.”
Where are the RINOs and Dems? Where is any kind of leadership in the Swamp? Send our best fit to some sandpit to die??? STOP IT!!!
The world always needs more democracy.
BiteMe DOESNT HAVE THE F-KING AUTORITY TO DO THIS, or run ANY WAR without Congress.
THIS is why Congress has the EXCLUSIVE power to declare war!
Great article on this by Jordan Schactel, great writer … Been following him for years.

It was done through a “PRIVATE” EO …What the hell??
The answer…
To Biden & other profit motivated NaziCrats all life is expendable – except theirs.
NO MORE AMERICAN BLOODSHED ON FOREIGN SOIL UNLESS WE ARE DIRECTLY IMPACTED.
HOWEVER, POLITICIANS ARE EXEMPTED & FREE TO SHED THEIR BLOOD IN THEIR WARS.
