Another day, another war i guess. I gotta say, i'm a little disappointed in Trump. Everywhere you look, he seems to be escalating tension and conflict. It's getting pretty ugly. You can't help but have a sinking ominous feeling in your gut. Some very dark times could be coming soon. I hate to be all 'Doom & Gloom', but the future does look pretty bleak.
What are your thoughts?
The US is sending "dozens" of additional troops to Somalia to train and equip the Somali National Army and the forces participating in the African Union Mission in Somalia there. In an email to CNN, Charles Chuck Prichard, a spokesperson for US Africa Command, confirmed the deployment Friday, saying that the deployment of "a few dozen troops from the 101st Airborne Division" came "at the request and in close coordination with" the government of Somalia.
"The objective of this particular train and equip mission is to improve the logistical capacity of the Somali National Army and the focus will be on teaching basic logistics operations, which will allow Somalia forces to better fight al Shabaab," the spokesman added.
The US troops will join the small number of US special operations forces already there providing counterterrorism support to local forces battling the local al Qaeda affiliate, al Shabaab. That advisory mission has been underway for several years...

Yep--Trump campaigned on isolation--"This isn't our problem"--but he looks to be on the war path with about everyone right now.
And his approval numbers are soaring. Perpetual War is what most Americans want. It's all they know. Trump had the right idea on Interventionism during the Campaign. But clearly, he's now allowing the Globalist Interventionists to sway him. His recent military actions are being universally praised by them. That's being reflected in his rising approval numbers.
However, i'm a bit disappointed in him. I thought he would move away from the aggressive Interventionism policy. I think he's adopted the ole 'If you can't beat em, join em' philosophy. The Globalist Elites still run the show in the world, and Trump prides himself on being a deal-maker. Looks like he's made a deal with them. He'll go along, and they'll back off on trying so hard to destroy him. I fear for what's ahead. He's being encouraged to involve us in more brutal conflicts. Stay tuned.
