What if the headline read "Trump arming drones over Africa to help the isis oppressed people"
Would that make a difference as to how this is viewed?

If I lived in a small town in Africa and the Police and Government wasn't doing anything about the terrorists that have moved in and are hurting and killing my neighbors I would welcome the US involvement to kill the terrorists.
Yes, one thing the US is great at, especially after WW2, is finding an enemy somewhere, anywhere, even in the most backwards of places, and claiming we need military action in tune of millions, even billions of dollars, because this enemy is a "threat to the US."

Is this the Trump that campaigned and y'all voted for?

I’m sure Trump only considers them 3/5 a civilian. Sad.

If Clinton had given Al Quada and Bin Laden the pounding that was warranted, September 11 would be just another day.

We should honor the doctrine of preemptive strike.

A lot of that has to do with us constantly bombing it.

I don't trust government in general and in particular in regards to the use of the military.....regardless of political party in office. Two many false flags....historically....showing an immoral intent. See Operation North woods.

I especially do not trust US intent in Africa...and AFRICOM, regardless of Obama role in its expansion. To me its an effort to put military bases in Africa as a means of countering the rise of China on the content as a major player.
