Ethiopia has chosen to greatly increase its use of technology and its standard of living.

The Ethiopia of today is absolutely nothing like the Ethiopia that people my age (I’m 53) saw on TV when we were growing up.

Back then, the news blamed Ethiopia’s famines on drought.

Now, this video says that during several recent droughts, there was no famine, and that was because of the choices that they made regarding irrigation, modern farming methods, and other advances in technology.

The same video also shows Ethiopians manufacturing clothing for export to rich countries, and they pointed out that Ethiopia is currently at the approximate level of development than China was at one generation ago.

I totally support these tremendous improvements.

“I disagree. The West is not unable. It is currently under leadership which is unwilling to respond.”

Dream on...if we could deal with the problem, we wound. Easy to blame Biden for the IDIOTS that have infested the top levels of DOD and elsewhere and didn’t bother to develop the weapons they needed, and it’s bipartisan - WE ARE HOSED.

“The West is not unable. It is currently under leadership which is unwilling to respond.”

In thinking a bit more on this, one has to ask why a country willing to start a land war on the doorstep of the world’s largest nuclear power would be afraid to engage a backwards, Third World Tribe?

Only answer that I can come up with is that Biden’s people figure that Russia will limit their escalation, while the Houthi’s may not, and if the Houthi’s do have Iranian-supplied Hypersonic Missiles, Biden’s people will have to explain why are navy ships are being sunk, and just before the election (after the election, they won’t care). Something is CLEARLY stopping them.

A simpler answer is the USA is being run by traitors who do not want the US to prevail.

There is a long history in war of opposition leaders being bought off/bribed to give an easy victory to the opposition.

There is a significant political movement in the West claiming the West should lose to the it enemies. That opposition is currently in power in much of the West. That opposition is also funded and encouraged by the enemies of the West.
