President Biden has signed an order authorizing the military to once again deploy hundreds of Special Operations forces inside Somalia — largely reversing the decision by President Donald J. Trump to withdraw nearly all 700 ground troops who had been stationed there, according to four officials familiar with the matter.
In addition, Mr. Biden has approved a Pentagon request for standing authority to target about a dozen suspected leaders of Al Shabab, the Somali terrorist group that is affiliated with Al Qaeda, three of the officials said. Since Mr. Biden took office, airstrikes have largely been limited to those meant to defend partner forces facing an immediate threat.

America Last.
Will CNN have their cameras ready to show the troops landing like last time?
We had no interests there when Daddy Bush went in, all we got was thousands of Somali refugees like ilhan Omar who hate America.
I was thinking more along the lines of Blackhawk Down.
Biden, Democrats, Woke Generals, and Neo-Con War Mongers don't give a damn about our soldiers' lives and limbs.
How much is yet another mission going to cost? Biden is just digging the inflation hold deeper, while at the same time over using the military. That makes America weaker.
FU Joe Biden.
I can’t believe Mr. I Did That is spending money all over the world to pretend to stop invasions but doesn’t GAS about what is going on at our southern border. What a pig
More wars, more spending....those mean tweets don’t seem so bad now......
“What’s our national interest?”
Our national interest is to make the world safe for perverts.
All of it.
:-(
And Jihadists.
Good thing he is protecting vital American interests in strategic locations. /s
The special forces would be better used on the Mexican border.
Big kickback opportunities - just ask Hunter.
Everything this admin does is detrimental to our country.
Just like when obama was president.
Same pattern there.
That is for every POTUS. After first “President” in article, then “Mr.”
We should train all the somalis we have imported, and send them home to fix their country.
Why? Just what in the world necessitates even one US serviceman risking their neck in that backwater?
I bet another $40 billion will be needed for this adventure....
There are a few problems with this analysis.
First, Putler and Russia consider Ukraine to be RUSSIA’s border. That’s why they invaded it and attacked it 8 years ago. When they couldn’t get a puppet state installed, they started tearing off chunks before trying to swallow it whole. Until Ukraine and the Eastern Europeans said NO to Russia’s bone-chilling cruelty. All while Biden tried to abandon Ukraine.
ISIS tried to conquer large chunks of the Middle East to build a caliphate, and that is why Trump continued to pound them out of existence.
I do not support perpetual invasions and occupations, but terrorists who murder ours and other people needlessly need to be killed as often as possible.
This the Shiite!
It sounds like just another thing on the list of things that Trump did that Biden wants to reverse.
