According to Wikipedia, the United States of America has five ongoing war excursions. Four of these operations are in Africa: Yemen, Red Sea adjacent, Somalia and Niger. The fifth is in Syria.
To give you context, the African continent contains 1.28 billion people and 99% of that number are eumelanated, Black people.
The US has a military budget of $842 billion which is more than the budget of the ten international militaries ranked under America combined.
The military budget of Yemen is $1.71 billion (2014). That of the Houthis $.1 billion (estimated), Somalia $.11 billion (2021) and Niger $.2 billion totaling $2.12 billion. The combined military budget of these four countries represents less than .002% of the US budget (2.12/842) or two thousandths of a percent. Welcome to David and Goliath. Even Syria’s $2.49 billion (2011) added in still puts the total under a hundredth of a percent.
These five budgets represent the funding of a citizen battalion and not a standing army in countries where over sixty percent of the population represents as women; mothers and children. In other words, four of the five ongoing wars occurring internationally between the US and the embattled African nations endanger mostly women and children. Sound familiar? Why would the US go to war with the vulnerable and weak?
As one four-star general said in a drone conference in Orlando in 2014, [quote] The last thing we want is a fair fight. [unquote].
In other words, the US and its family-member owners wants the easiest route to confiscate and, more importantly, control the resources of Africa: Colonialism 2.0 in 2024 for a SDG2030 world; scratching the six-year itch.
