A full-scale invasion of Africa is under way.
The United States is deploying troops in 35 African countries,
beginning with Libya, Sudan, Algeria and Niger.
Reported by Associated Press on Christmas Day,
this was missing from most Anglo-American media.
The invasion has almost nothing to do with “Islamism”,
and almost everything to do with the acquisition of resources,
notably minerals, and an accelerating rivalry with China.
Unlike China,
the US and its allies are prepared to use a degree of violence
demonstrated in Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Yemen and Palestine.
