        " . . . as a result of a new Pentagon strategy that focuses on combating rising threats from Russia and China." Nonsense. President Trump will have an intimate phone call with Putin and share another piece of cake with Xi and announce that there are no such "rising threats."

        I'm sorry, but with a $700 BILLION budget (yes, a B w/all caps), can't we afford to maintain the Africa ops at current level, or even grow?

        Its hard to build and maintain a large robot who shoots lasers out of it's eyes and chucks tactical nukes like footballs at commies and maintain the "Africa ops" at the same time.

        Yeah bullshit. China is fast becoming an influential Nation in all of Africa. Threats? No, more like you are being squeezed out of key/strategic locations all around the world.
