China is going to take Africa....
....They can have it!
Yeah, there are no resources that could give the Chinese any sort of advantage of any sort, so just ignore Africa.
Some folks...
WE have US bases there but discreet.
Interesting story: our area priest for our Knights of Columbus branch was a missionary priest from Africa and came back stateside after many years there..
Told us around 2013 or so, his village was hit by a disease not known to science (maybe covid who knows). The idiot UN guys were useless but when he went to US base for help (being a US citizen helps). They gave him vaccines.
Now how did the US military know which specific disease it was? They just handed it to him for free. Fast forward, he still doesnt know what it was and the village was inoculated. Until now, he doesnt know what’s in those vials but it saved many lives in his parish.
USA sent its first WWII troops to Africa.
