Look at Syria, Iran, iraq etc. weak countries where the U.S can get oil from by supporting an enemy eg. Taliban, al qaeda giving them a reason to invade to “defeat the terrorists” and at the same time they’ll be taking your oil and gas illegally
US currently have more than enough on there home soil. They don't need oil from any part of the world.

But a US company recently got license from SDF rebels to drill syria's oil.

And as we all know, Trump stationed some US soldiers in Syria to keep the oil. He said it on camera.
US has been told to leave Iraq since January, this is August and we still have US bases all over Iraq.
If you understand capitalism and monopoly, you will definitely know that there is nothing like "having more than enough" especially when it comes to wealth and resources.

The state of the US military in Vietnam post 68 was terrible! Not just fragging but rampant hard drug use specifically heroin,combat refusal,racist attacks that divided some units and astronomical crime rates had shattered their combat effectiveness.

https://libcom.org/history/vietnam-collapse-armed-forces

Mind you the Ist Aircav,aka the first team is classified as an Elite unit.



Typically,the white writer doesn't say if these acts are reactive! The crime stats at even Stateside
barracks were smth from a horror movie.



And these guys would have fought the Russians if the Cold War suddenly went hot!?

Some drug use stats.



Let me leave with a quote from a top battlefield leader:

Even worse! There was the mere gook rule,the term they used for the Viets,along with slopes,slants and dinks. This mentality from the highest Pentagon levels down to reg,bn,coy,platoon,squad and fireteam leaders in the field. dehumanised not just the enemy but the people themselves with predictable results.
The MSM and the movies ofc explain the 1 mn or so civvy deaths as resulting from collateral damage and/or poor US rules of engagement: nothing could be further from the truth. Rape,mass murder,arson,killing of livestock and crop destruction often occurred without the heat of combat,in fact it seems to have been institutionalised practice among ALL US FORMATIONS,WHETHER AIRBORNE,ARMOUR,AIRCAV,INF INCL USMC UNITS FROM THE BEGINNING OF THEIR INVOLVEMENT IN 65 TO THEIR COMPLETE WITHDRAWAL IN 75.

This clip from Full Metal Jacket was actually standard behaviour:

https://youtu.be/S06nIz4scvI

They'd wait for civvies to run to shoot and declare them VC KIA.

The book is 350 pages so let me leave the most important quotes to allow a sight of the wider picture.

-In 1969 alone 10 mn arty rounds were fired
-In 1966 91% of arty fire missions weren't actually in support of combat
-American bulldozers may have torn up 2% of the entire land area of S Vietnam
-21 mn arty and bomb craters were left postwar which when flooded caused malaria outbreaks
-so much of the peasants crops were destroyed they lived off US base garbage
-billions of dollars worth of hardwood like rosewood and teak was destroyed
-almost the entire rural female generation was reduced to hoism for survival
-due to destruction rice price inflation rose over 800% in the war years causing hunger,starvation and even death
-mass explosive destruction of villages and hillsides led to frequent floods and erosion after canals and paddies were damaged


The real story of the Vietnam war is wayyyyy deeper than Platoon and/or Hamburger Hill.

Mind you this is different from Agent Orange effects,another fecking tragedy in its own right!?

Yes, maybe a citizen or a US company or even a group of leaders that benefit from it financially.

USA as a country/Government can do without oil from other nations.

Their companies are successful even at home.
It's just like claiming Nigerian government is is the one influencing sales of banks across Africa. That's why Nigerian banks are buy other African banks.

Stop making it look like it's a do or die thing for Americans. Gone are the days when US import oil.

If you deal with your problem properly, foreigners won't take advantage of your stupidity. Please stop blaming US for every evil action.

D.R.C is already in turmoil look at all the rebels and they just happen to be in the area with the mot resources, countries cons just swoop in and take what they want whenever they want. Have you never seen the artificial runways, planes filled with cobalt, diamonds and gold then flown away, why do Belgium, France and the U.S have their own airports in Congo, to ferry out the resources easy as that, and how do you make it easier for you to get the resources, very simply by creating a diversion like rebels, distracting people from it.

In the case of Nigeria, in 2014-2016 when both Jonathan and buhari said Boko Haram had almost been defeated why did America then move to establish multiple drone bases in the area, apparently for security reasons, but very soon after they were established, Boko Haram seemed to have gotten new guns, more ammo etc. and they were able to attack again whereas before they were established they were weakened, surrendering and didn’t even attack. Where did they get all these new guns, weapons and ammo, it can’t be a coincidence that all this happened at a similar time.

Then again this year when the army went on a massive offensive and we were gaining territory and getting close to winning, what happens out of nowhere, some people called bandits started to appear in the northwestern part of Nigeria. Fully armed with guns, but where are all these people getting their guns from, certainly not from Nigeria, can it be a coincidence that every single time we’re getting somewhere with Boko Haram, another problem arises or they become stronger.

It just doesn’t add up, and NGOs are very clearly against Nigeria, they are always attacking the government even though the government is trying to fight Boko harms trying to create a rift between the people and the government, trying to divide the country, and now their newest tactic is the Christian genocide story. Whereas everyone is getting killed not just Christians there were multiple mosque and church bombings. Yet these NGOs like amnesty keep lambasting the government over what they call a “Christian genocide” to try and divide the northern and southern parts of the country.

If this does work Nigeria will be a much weaker country and will not be able to battle against France’s influence in Africa, and it will make it easier for Chad to try and take over the lake Chad islands and claim the massive oil reserves in that area for themselves. So yes they do want Nigerian oil, and they have their own tactics of doing these things, in the case of Kenya, I’m not sure and if the case of Somalia, they have already been in that country and who knows what they took or didn’t take whilst they were there combating “terrorism” which they likely sponsored at the start.

Africans are the ones holding back Africa. The white man only capitalizes on our greed, Ignorance and foolishness.
The guns in our conflicts, who uses them? Africans.
The guns, who buys them? Africans( even those donated, who accepts them? Africans).
The extremists that kill, rape and burn, who are they? Africans.
Who overthrow African governments? Africans.
Who is offered money to sell her resources? Africans.
Who accepts the loans that become debt traps? Africans.
Who loot their treasuries dry? Africans.
Who don't take care of the education, maternal health, access to water, child health etc of her citizens? Africans.
Who uses her kids as child soldiers? Africans.
Who collect money from whites to sell their national assets for peanuts? Africans.

Those hands behind the scene we accuse of f--king up Africa can't do jack without Africans..... Let's get our ish together and nobody will get screwed.

Not many people know but Kenya is second in importance to SA in Anglo Zionist eyes. Gateway to both the Great Lakes and the Horn plus direct Asian access VIA THE W INDIAN OCEAN,with millions of educated English speakers and a growing middle class there are many geo strategic imperatives the West has in these parts. Also there's a resilience that has scared keen observers here. In the worst of the Moi era when growth was flat and there was a foreign loan embargo we never collapsed as any other African country would have.
Btw,notice how Brit high commish personally advised evacuation of his citizens from the coast and a week later Al Shabab,many of them Britons attacked Lamu.

The United Kingdom has closed its Mombasa consulate over security concerns.

A statement from the UK Foreign Office said it would provide normal consular assistance to its nationals through the Nairobi office.

Some of the survivors swore a few terrorists were white and when some were KIA after confronting the army it was confirmed some were Brit!
