Biden sends troops back into a loosing situation

[hislegacy]

President Joe Biden has approved the deployment of hundreds of service members to Somalia to fight against al Shabab, an African-based al Qaeda affiliate.

Biden signed off on the order from Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin on Monday. It reverses a decision made by former President Donald Trump, who ordered the withdrawal of nearly all 700 troops stationed there in January 2021.

Biden greenlights plan to redeploy hundreds of troops to Somalia

That's right! Mr. Trump pulled them out of harms way and Joe puts them back in.

Remember Mr. Gates comment:

"I think he has been wrong on nearly every major foreign policy and national security issue over the past four decades."
​

He continues to this day.

I like the various Bad Lip reading videos... they do TV shows, but also cover politics too at times, and comedian Kyle Dunnigan's Biden videos on YouTube are amazing ("The Fresh Prez of DC").

But he's been on BOTH SIDES of most issues over that time. So which is it today? And tomorrow?

I don't think it's bad policy to lend a reasonable amount of aid to those fighting terrorism on other continents.

Well in some cases it is not enough to sell or give weapons. Sometimes it is necessary to have them become beholden to their saviours. Look at china. They need not get involved anywhere by sending soldiers. They just call in debts all over the world in exchange for military bases and minerals.

Cripes! Remember what our troops experienced the last time they
were in Somalia?

As a Christian, I can't express what I think of Biden.

 

[hislegacy]

Yes, President Biden values human life regardless of race and ethnicity.

Evidently, just not our troops.

But hey! Let’s put them in harms way under ROE that will make them casualties.

 

[tturt]

Before the election,, some tried to warn that he probably has dementia.

Maybe his mood will change and impact this decision

But it depends on whose running the country.

Military-industrial complex has always held the upper hand since Eisenhower warned about them.

So. You are saying that Trump was wrong for leaving those troops in Somalia for the four years that he was President?

It was joe's boss who sent them in - Trump pulls them out - joe send them back in and it is Trumps fault.

uh huh.

I am growing convinced that people just hate Trump so much there is virtually NOTHING he could do right. If he runs for office again and dies of a car accident half way in - they will call him a quitter who doesn't finish anything he starts.

Refresh my memory, but wasn't it Bill Clinton who sent troops into Somalia?

The movie Blackhawk Down was based on that, was it not?

Yeah that sounds right, I thought black hawk down was set in 99, from the last time I watched it.

If Trump left those Troops exposed to danger for all of his presidency, then he is just as guilty as Obama and Biden. If Trump was correct in leaving them exposed to danger for four years then Obama and Biden are correct in what they do. I'm sorry that the logic fails you.
