The CIA is using the military once again for the CIA and the CIA’s cohorts to profit off of one or more things, entities, etc. in that area/nation, etc.

There is always the “reason(s)” that are told to the military. AND then there are the REAL reasons that are not told to the military.

Show me where these strategies have ever worked in the middle east or wherever else in foreign locations the moslem scourge appears...
(However, I'd like to see them using these strategies in scourge locations like MN, MI, or Brooklyn...)

If there's an answer, excellent chance that neither you, nor your Congressman, nor either of your Senators will be allowed to know it.

Mozambique is run by communists; hence, one of Joe’s kind of countries.

SloJo really thought their flag was pretty, what with the commie star, sickle and AK-47, so he just wanted to help them out a little.

Joe has little to nothing to do with the decision making. It is the kind of country / leadership preferred by Joe’s handlers.

More war forever. This time in Africa.

How long before Moçambicano refugees are settled en masse in the USA?
