Our military is engaged all over Africa, including the Congo. We even have a 4 star command designated AFRICOM.
no dog in that fight
Wanna bet?

What dog would that be?
The dogs (soldiers) who have already been there and are scheduled to go back.
Amazon offers most of the Project Gutenburg books for free in Kindle format. It makes life a little simpler on the Fire. Sideloading from Project Gutenburg onto the old e-readers was pretty easy.
Thanks for the reminder. I had forgotten that the Congo was one of the countries invaded by Nobel Peace Prize winner O’bama.
“no dog in that fight.”
Yep. They reproduce faster then they can slaughter each other so let them go.
I don’t care what they do. I care what we do . I don’t want us in Syria until we are invited , like the Russians were by the sovereign nation and it’s elected government. I don’t give a flat flip about Kurdistan. I am a Christian. Fight for CHRISTIANS!! But do it under international law. We tried this renegade crap in Iraq and look where that got us.
There is plenty reprehensible about what King Leopold and the Belgians did in the Congo, no need for propaganda,the truth will do.
The Belgians were a good chunk of the numbers for 3rd place on the Democide leaderboard:

Here’s his detail on that - the estimate would seem to be in the 5-20 million range for the (Belgian) Congo alone.
