we are still at war trump 4 f====g yrs go away

This was extremely distressing in the way it only reports half the story. Maybe less than half the story. Please backtrack and report more in-depth, thanks.

Not interested in anything these lame ducks are doing.

Leaving it to the Chinese who already have a base capable of shooting lasers at incoming military aircraft.

Most of the somolians have moved to Michigan, either by marrying their family members or going illegally...Just ask IlhanMN Just look at all that value add...

Blindly moving troops around cause he does not have to deal with repercussions. Blame Biden in 4 years for something he did. .

Had better be before January 21st, as citizen Trump no longer calls the shots on that day.

Trump Orders The Withdrawal Of Most U.S. Forces From Somalia

Don't worry. Biden and his deep state puppet masters will ramp things back up. Gotta keep those weapons manufacturers happy.

Isn't he the busiest little bee doing a dastardly deed every day since the election&going 4ward with the blast of a rocket?He'll have burned more calories in 3 months compared to the slovenly, lazy, resentful, vengeful, hate-filled TV watching, Diet Coke swigging past 4 years!

He won't be around to do much of anything..

If we pull the troops we still need a Navy presence there to shoot holes in the pirate ships. It’s the only thing that stops them.

If he’s doing this, it must be the worst choice

Oh I see. Sort of moving troops from one country to another, on the same continent. Don lied. He said he will bring troops home. This is not that.

Reassigned. Good lord, just bring them home and burn the barracks.

... to be replaced with Erik Prince's paid killers?

Back to playing with his toy soldier set while he still has the chance. Good result? Idea? Bad idea? Doesnt matter to him. That was not the goal. Moving soldiers around at his whim is.

Do young people know the history of Somalia? The people reassigned will be relieved perhaps. I wish Somalia the best.

Is ti true that a contract has now been awarded to Erik Prince's mercenaries to go to Somalia instead?

Why are we still in Somalia 27 years after Black Hawk Down?

Another Christmas present for Putin?

Umm... they only ha e 19 days in 2021. They still trying to pretend they’re gonna pull this election theft off?

Is this picture

To be replaced with Russian mercenaries

Should we stop our endless wars?

Love how Republicans play this as 'bringing the troops home' when they're just moving them around.
