American military aircraft will begin flying African and European peacekeepers into the Central African Republic, which is in the midst of a bloody internal war between various proclaimed Christian and Muslim militias and other rebel factions, a U.S. official tells CNN FFS, we're in the age of the internet, computers and advanced weapons. And yet, the USA is the only nation in the world with reliable force projection capabilities. How the hell did the Brits manage to land an Army in America to fight us 200+ years ago, but Europe can't do it today?  |

It's because Europe knows how to play us and use us to their advantage.
"Hey US, we want to do some good, but we haz no airlift or naval assets to get our stuff there. Guess we won't be going then..." Hook, line, and sinker.

You want heavy airlift its either the USAF or the Russian "Airlines". Take your pick. The Birts have a handful of C-17's. The French have nothing bigger than the Transall. The A-400M is years away from an in-service date.
Airlift is one of the things we do very very well. |

Oh look, see? It's all the fault of France, the UK, and the US for turning on Khaddafi. So, we already pocked the losing side. Happy? http://english.pravda.ru/opinion/columnists/22-10-2013/125967-educational_crisis-0/ Please tell me what kind of fucking point you are trying to make. I know you like to do drive by postings with links that are remotely related to the topic at hand but explain nothing. l know it helps you feel intellectually superior but it's getting old. That article talks about what a shit hole Africa is and how poorly educated their children are. We have dumped billions into Africa along with multiple other 1st world countries. Nothing has changed there, and nothing will. Why the fuck would we be involved in anything in Africa that is not of strategic importance? This will turn into another Syria, Africa edition. Let all of the Muslims and Christians kill the fuck out of each other. Unless they attack one of our allies WHO GIVES A FUCK. Either explain what you thought I meant, or what the fuck you were getting at. Because I'm sick and fucking tired of your Pravda BS. I'm sorry I'm not a fan of Africa, maybe I should hit up the next Communist rally that is held.

So when does zero pick the losing side in this "peacekeeping operation"? How much cash will we give to terrorists? I'm sure Pravda will have an article soon, that might answer your questions.

That's an ignorant statement. Many things have changed in Africa, and a lot of positive steps have been made. How often do you examine anything related to Africa other than a cursory look at one of the articles that is posted here, or on the mainstream media? The US has an interest in the region for a variety of reasons, namely resources and the potential pitfalls for another collapsed state with militant Islam being a factor. |
