The US is presently involved in 15 'shadow wars': Here's where and why

(STACKER) — The ever-expanding American military footprint covers nearly every continent. While the United States has long had a military presence in other nations, the scope significantly expanded following the passage of the 2001 Authorization for Use of Military Force, which, in the wake of 9/11, permitted the support of foreign forces against various terrorist groups. The U.S. has since had 173,000 troops deployed in 159 countries as of 2020 and currently maintains at least 750 foreign military bases across 80 countries, according to the Conflict Management and Peace Science journal.
As the top military power in the world, according to the Global Firepower index, the U.S. has a vested interest in the national security of countries across the globe. In situations that do not warrant combative military intervention or would threaten relations with allies, the government may oversee or aid more minor disputes within countries, such as counterterrorism efforts. This type of involvement is known as a “shadow war,” a somewhat covert military operation conducted on behalf of a smaller power.
Stacker compiled a list of 15 “shadow wars” the U.S. is currently involved in and how those conflicts began, using various news, government, and investigative sources.

Seems our CIA has been working overtime.
“The U.S. has since had 173,000 troops deployed in 159 countries as of 2020 and currently maintains at least 750 foreign military bases across 80 countries.”
All of these are more important than our border.
Meanwhile, we are running out of ammunition by supplying Ukraine and Israel. Notwithstanding the fact that our industrial capacity is no longer viable.
We no longer produce enough steel to sustain the wars we are involved in.
A mass formation psychosis has capture a bunch of weak minded individuals currently running our county.
BTW we the taxpayer are responsible for what our government does with or without our consent... if our Government gets us all killed it is on us. We have a choice to either stand up against it... or go along with it.
