President Trump ordered airstrikes on Saturday against the Islamic State in northern Somalia, the first major U.S. military operation overseas since he took office.

I thought that there would be no more wars. This is just a distraction from that fact that there is no plan to decrease the price of groceries. He knew good and damn well he wouldn’t/couldn’t do anything about it.
We went to a matinee of “Les Miserables” and as we left, I said to my husband: “I wonder if any horrors took place while we were enjoying ourselves.” Yup.
"Multiple operatives"
= Somali people going about their goddamned day
I truly wish our media had vertebrae to speak of. There's so much spinelessness happening I'm shocked more folks aren't literally gliding on the ground like the snakes they are.
Republicans dismantling the institutions that safe guard/protect U.S. intentional?
I suspect it is about provoking terrorists groups into committing mass attacks on U.S soil to bolster the republican effort to deploy military/action on our soil.
Trump Forced Pakistan to release 5000 prisoners who turned into ISIS and were responsible for the attack in Afghanistan Airport The Art Of The Deal always comes back to bite you in the Ass
Yup... Because the Toddler-in-Chief likes to play with the big guns...
Please Americans stop the bastard until he starts a much bigger and wider conflict...!
The idiot ordered the release of CA water in a performance play, wasting a resource that farmers will need next summer. But, do go on about his disregard for optics.
It's a Muslim country in Africa - that's all. He does not like Black people; he doesn't want anything they have.
He did this to be cruel and murderous, because that is who he is, and he thinks this makes him powerful. He doesn't see what the rest of us see: he's an empty, failed human being.

I have educated friends back in Italy who will swear that no US republican presidents have ever engaged in acts of war: standing to the information they are fed, those were all democrats and the republican ones were those who stopped them. Nothing will dissuade them.
Ordered.
Of course he did.
That guy with all that military experience...
He's doing his best to bring the terrorists to the US, whether foreign or domestic.
You can call trump all sorts of c**** for trying to politicise these crashes though, don't be like him don't politicise this until all the information is available
Between COVID-19 and all the republican-led government shutdowns, none of that helped the severe shortage of air traffic controllers leading them to work mandatory over time 6 days a week. Then topple that with executive order threats maybe they reached a breaking point.
Yeah, may have!
Regardless you can't put this on trump not yet anyway!
And pointing fingers now, when you don't have all the information, make sure as bad as trump!
It's just smoke and mirrors people. He's trying to distract from the shit show he created with the FAA and FBI purge. Fat DonOLD needs to be careful poking the bear in Somalia. I'd hate to see them Jihad his fat ass.
I doubt if ANY American voter, in the last election, voted for war in Africa. Trump himself said it was about, "the groceries." Bombing another country is always diverting, but will it bring down the cost of eggs? Military adventures seem to always give right-wingers a boner.
This serves his reality-president fantasies of being decisive and lethal; and if he could arrange to be placed on a balcony, high above a smartly dressed military parading below, as a grateful populace cheers him on, handkerchiefs and little China-made flags waving, it would be his dream come true.
When you have small balls and a small johnson, you have to compensate somehow. Since he doesn't have anyone in the military to advise him, expect more of this type of behavior.
If that happens it's WWIII USA vs NATO.
I'd say Russia & USA v NATO.
Because I'm fairly certain he's sold us out to Russia.
They said he owed them something.
I think we're the payment.
Yes and then fuel another generation of terrorists continuing the ongoing cycle of violence and never ending wars. Easy to justify killing 'potential' terrorists because don't need any evidence. Continuation of military industrial complex. Military contractors very happy rn with Trump.
How do you know they were already full blown terrorists? Was any evidence provided? We are literally living a minority report scenario. The mass public believe everything their dear leader tells them.
Here we go again, the US has to use military force whether it is necessary or not or they can't justify their large military budget to the American voters.
This kind of activity will make serious enemies for him who will make no apologies and take him out. He thinks he is playing Battleship. Won’ be the first time a masking dictator gets taken out.
Why is it ok for the US to attack targets in other countries' territory?
And while we're at it, why is ok for Israel to do the same, and to occupy territory whenever it wants?
How many MAGAts are going to complain about Trump getting us into wars? They certainly blame Biden for supporting Ukraines self defense with funds, but no U.S. soldiers. Now US forces are going to attack Somalia? It was never about eggs or foreign aid.
WHY ?????????????????? He and his money starved assholes want to revenue from was. See, even those w all the $$$ in the world are NEVER satisfied. I hope karma comes to eat them all, ass first .
Exactly, they haven’t even named these “people” they killed. If it is true, okay - but a little sketchy now that he is losing a bit of American support.
This isn’t about starting a war; it's about targeted strikes against terrorist groups who threaten us all. There's a huge difference between strategic strikes and full-blown war. The fact that this point needs explaining highlights a greater focus on hating Trump than understanding his policy.
And who said that he wouldn’t start wars? Maybe the same people who believed him when he denied knowing Project 2025 like he knows the back of his tiny little hands.
Wagging the dog. Trump’s Pentagon killed 64 civilians on a commercial aircraft this week using a kamikaze Blackhawk Helicopter. As believable as “DEI did it.”
You mean the same ISIS Terrorists that Netanyahu, CENTCOM @rterdogan.bsky.social unleashed in Syria to Oust ASSAD for Israel to take half the country including GOLAN HEIGHTS? We are not impressed Trump. Obama fooled the world with ISIS, ISIS, ISIS terror attacks we know Israel Terrorism when we see.
Somalia has untapped resources like uranium, natural gas, and minerals, but instability limits their exploitation. Potentially military actions can shift public focus.
Fuxk the US. Yeah Mexico and China. Remember you American idiots everything we buy from you we can also get from either Asia countries or Mexico. Try getting the oil elsewhere hahaha.
Oh yeah economic terrorism is against the commonwealth agreement. You’re fighting with more than you know.
Where were some people during Trump’s first term? He probably ordered more strikes in 4 yrs than Obama in 8, esp. in Yemen & Somalia (& that’s only counting drone strikes). Trump also removed accountability (no need to report n of civilian deaths, back in ‘19) He was no “peace” president, ever!
So he is gonna bully countries to take refugees who don't want to leave their land while also bullying migrants for wanting to leave...no strategy at all , just reactionary sh1te

If people die,so what.
You guys are part of the failed media that allows it to happen. FU.

This is neither leadership nor protection.
Someone please tell Melon Felon to take his dick off his forehead, put it back in his pants and zip it up.
No need to measure; we all know he's not working with much.

The one thing that happens here exclusively is ignorant ass drive by comment and block dummy's like this...
I am a two time combat vet who was just commenting on the article...
STFU if you have no clue...
Of course he did.
That guy with all that military experience...
He's doing his best to bring the terrorists to the US, whether foreign or domestic.
Regardless you can't put this on trump not yet anyway!

It's lucky there hasn't been any crushes before this, according to most people who analyse this kind of industry that is
I'd say Russia & USA v NATO.
Because I'm fairly certain he's sold us out to Russia.

I think we're the payment.
Killing plotting terrorists will be ongoing forever in the information age...
Your hate clouds your common sense...
That's exactly the point...
Neither do you...
And his last term he kept us outta wars by killing terrorists LEADERS...
You expect our military to give us evidence before they attack any terrorists?
We can only hope to God Pete Hegseth is not calling the shots...
And while we're at it, why is ok for Israel to do the same, and to occupy territory whenever it wants?
Freedom is slavery
Ignorance is strength
All heil big Trumper
Your electorate's IQ is lower than your president's.
get excited about anything this guy does 🤷🏻♀️
He should use tariffs anyway because they result in "success". You see, the President has a great power of the brain.
Oh yeah economic terrorism is against the commonwealth agreement. You’re fighting with more than you know.
So he is gonna bully countries to take refugees who don't want to leave their land while also bullying migrants for wanting to leave...no strategy at all , just reactionary sh1te
