Chad’s government threatens to kick out US troops as Russia expands influence in Africa
CNN ^ | 4/18/24 | Haley Britzky

Posted on 04/19/2024 3:43:36 PM PDT by hardspunned

The US risks losing its military presence in another African country as the government of Chad sent a letter threatening to end a critical security agreement, according to four US sources, a move that threatens to cede more US influence in the region to Russia.

In a letter sent to the US defense attaché last week, Chadian officials threatened to cancel the Status of Forces Agreement, or SOFA, which determines the rules and conditions under which US military personnel can operate in the country. While the letter did not directly order the US military to leave Chad, the officials told CNN that it said all US forces would have to leave the French base in N’Djamena.

Don’t forget the total, absolute Western destruction of Ukraine. Any non globohomo nation will run to the arms of anyone but the West.

Wait until the West steals $300B from Russia for not bending over for the Western globohomos. What traditional Global South country would ever trust these pervo thieves again with their reserves?

You’ve hit the nail on the head. They don’t believe Biden.

BRICS is all Putin. So in 10 years, who will replace Putin in Russia? He’s going to leave a power vaccum.

“”””The MIC down to 749 bases. Whatever will they do ?””””

You believe that anti-America source that tells you that Guam alone has 54 of those American bases?

It took Germany multiple years, at at least over five years, to get its gold out of the US Federal reserve. Below is the story that broken 20 2013 on Jeremy's difficulty trying to get their gold back.

It’s grown to around 57 countries who are affiliated with them. Turkey may leave NATO and join them.

“”””Putin was as amazed as anyone that NATO decided not to get out of this hopeless, unwinnable war two years ago. Rather, NATO decided to take 2 1/2 years to totally destroy itself. A win win situation for the Russians. I’m sure the Russians still can’t believe how stupid NATO was to do this and how lucky Russia was in allowing the idiots in DC to have their way.””””

What in the world is that supposed to mean, what are you talking about?

BRICS now represents more people that does the West. I’m not sure Putin is the leader of the movement. If there is a leader it is probably China. But with China, Russia, India and a bunch of Asian and African countries, it is becoming a viable counter force to NATO and the West.

Who knew indeed.

According to what they call bases Guam has 54 bases, and Puerto Rico has 34.

Do you agree with the idea that America has 54 military bases on Guam?

Guam is 30 miles long and 9 miles wide, with an area of 212 square miles, about the size of Chicago.

According to your source we have 54 military bases there.

Do you think they might be misleading in how they count military bases?
