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.

Again, you won’t say anything, you never actually say anything, not even what you mean when you say you quit being of boomer age and a what you claim was a conservative.

OK voting is out, you don’t vote, what do you do and what are you trying to lead everyone else to do?

No, people can vote. Local voting results can actually matter.

eg.

Note that their Congressman couldn’t do anything.

Nothing can change as a result of elections at the Federal level.

Voting for Trump is worthwhile. Not because he is going to “reform the bureaucracy”, because it is not possible.

Trump is a disruptive and destabilizing force that weakens the Regime and probably accelerates its collapse.

Your instructions are you can vote locally but do not vote at the federal level, except the one time vote for Trump in 2024.

Got it, now when you approve of Red China or Russia conquering America and the West as you do sometimes because that will defeat the “Regime” what do you think would come from them ruling over all of our nations, America particularly?

It’s not “Red Dawn” !

They are not coming to extract your precious bodily fluids !

It’s going to be the Cartels that take over. (According to that Repub Official Kari Lake recorded, the Cartels are a major factor already).

And the Cartels are the ones organizing the Border invasion. Not Russia.

BTW people can vote at the Federal level. Just don’t operate under the delusion that federal election results will change anything.

Don’t go nutty on me with your exaggerations and childish insults.

Suddenly on this thread you are eliminating Red China and Russia as any threat to America and the West/World yet you often say that them conquering us is what you desire.

When you say “Defeat NATO / EU and the DC Globohomo Empire collapses.” and “I want NATO the EU and the DC Globohomo Empire to collapse and die. Defeat in war leading to the collapse of a decaying Empire would be the historic norm.”

and I ask you “you want Red China and Russia to defeat the United States and the West”?

You respond with “By whatever means the Lord intends, the evil rulers of Globohomo America, the EU and NATO need to fall.”

Why do you want China/Russia to conquer us and what do you think that would lead to?

When is it legal to invade another country?

My money is on Turkey remaining in NATO and joining BRICS since the EU has stiffed them for 37 years and counting.

I stand by it.

The Regimes of the West are like end-state decadent Rome.

At one point, Rome had its legions trying to invade Persia, while German barbarians were pouring across the Northern border of Italy.

That is just like the border control and foreign military posture of the entire West.

There is nothing new under the sun.

Not to interrupt a good argument between you two, but I've actually given some thought as to what would happen if we lost a nuclear war.

First off, we would be occupied and the country partitioned among the victors. Along with the UN, the victors would make sure that the US would never again be a threat to world peace as they perceive it.

Russia would gain Alaska and most of polar Canada, assuming Canada decided to join the war.

North Korea would gain Washington and Oregon west of the Cascades.

China would get Vancouver, Hawaii and our Pacific possessions. It would also split California with Mexico, assuming Mexico entered the war on the winning side. China would immediately kill all males so that their own males could find wives or comfort women, all the result of their ill-conceived "single child" policy that went on for too long.

Much of the land taken by the victors would require a long period for the radiation to subside so as to become inhabitable. We would be looking at somewhere between 70% and 90% of the population killed off.

What's left of America would probably split up in a civil war before the rural areas and small towns could rebuild the country as it was 200+ years ago.

Not a pretty picture. I don't recommend nuclear war.

But your means to conquer America is Red China and Russia, what do you think would that would result in for us?

My best guess is the USA Empire suffers overseas defeat by China and Russia.

And then the DC Regime collapses and disintegrates, and the Cartels take over large chunks of North America.

No “Red Dawn” invasion by Russia/China.

You have expressed that you are good with China or Russia conquering us, what do you think that would result in for the people still living here under their rule?

Overseas defeat ^= North American invasion and Occupation.

If you are actually worried about a Chinese invasion, close the US Southern border so they can’t pre-position a large sabotage force before a conflict starts.

But your means to conquer America and the entire West is Red China and Russia, what do you think that would result in for us and Western civilization and the world?

Again.

Overseas defeat in war ^= Invasion and conquest of the Homeland.

DC Regime collapse almost certainly means both the USA and Canada breaking apart into multiple smaller states, many dominated by Cartels.

And we will have to rebuild from there.

“”””DC Regime collapse almost certainly means both the USA and Canada breaking apart into multiple smaller states, many dominated by Cartels. And we will have to rebuild from there.””””

So that is your goal, but what makes you decide that Red China and/or Russia can destroy us which you desire, but that for some reason they won’t want to occupy and exploit our country and absorb it into their empire the way they do the other countries they conquer?

Because they are not NeoCons.

(You are mirroring NeoCon thinking onto them, where they use military victory a half a world away to invade and occupy)

Russia and China are interested in securing their border states eg. Ukraine and Taiwan.

It is NeoCons and their Satellites which invade and occupy countries like Afghanistan and Iraq half a world away. (while leaving the border of the Homeland open).

I’m not a neo-con and you can quit using that name calling against a conservative.

So your hope is that Red China or Russia defeat all the West and the United States leaving all those countries and the rest of the world open to them and they then suddenly shutdown their militaries and let America that has broken up into little pieces, some run by cartels and they let us rebuild.

What would the remnants of America rebuild into if you get your dream come true of us having been destroyed?

Yup. My assumption that in the event of a breakup: post breakup, the separate States of post-Canada and post-USA will be dealt with in the same way as, say, Argentina or Brazil. Because the successor Regimes States will have the same global influence as South American countries etc.

The idea that overseas Great Powers can’t wait to invade Continental North America - again you are using NeoCon thinking to mirror their motivation.

They are not coming for “Red Dawn”.

You are like an aging spinster who is so worried about unwanted male attention. When the truth is, no-one has noticed her for decades.

You keep saying invade, if the entire West and America are defeated in Europe and the Pacific as you hope for in a world war with China and Russia, then occupation is what would result, what would there be to invade?

You keep describing your hope for the end of the West and America at the hands of China/Russia in military defeat, and the collapse of all of Western civilization and North America and our nations broken up into bits and pieces of fiefdoms, yet suddenly the powers that destroyed us decide to leave us alone?
