Trump is eyeing up Mali as his next war zone

Did you see the report about Trump suggesting that the UK and the Allies? lead a navy assault to resolve the Hormuz blockage?
Can't find it now. Maybe fake news?

Interesting article on the BBC website today about the depletion of weapons in the US.
To get the tomahawks up to the pre-war level will take 5 years.
The worry is China who are closely watching how the US weapons are being depleted. This may be a time to take Taiwan as the US may not be able to defend them after so much of their arsenal spent on the Iran war.

The last thing the US need is war with China.

China a will do what they always do sit and watch make money during the war, then make more afterwards. Nobody is going to attack them and there is no internal opposition.

The US doesnt need to use high tech weapons to attack Iran they should use the same low tech weapons, that Iran uses.

I agree AGAA4, because Russia is also suffering due to munitions and manpower depletion, China may sit watching in the wings.

And that cannot be dismissed as 'propaganda'.
Thanks imaround.

So the party line is going to be, if our munitions are depleted, then it is Biden's fault. But they arent depleted, so we are fine.

The funding has not passed because the Republicans added the SAVE Act into it. Which will take away the right to vote for anyone whose name on thier drivers license is different from the birth certificate, among other things.

They have already stated that they will be sending out, someones, to "monitor" polls in Arizona. Which is illegal and unconstitutional.

Someone asked, he has made over $2 billion in the last 18 months of his presidency.

Just because it is in the Guardian does not make it untrue.
The US government is in recess just now and as far as I am aware, the military funding request failed to pass.

Quite correct, there is a great deal of propaganda against the US, Trump in particular, some of it true, some not.

And after them is Greenland

Just so happens they have th

I wonder what the people in the US think about all their arms being depleted because of this war instigated by Israel and illegally carried out by Trump.

Report in The Guardian this morning saying that bombing will have to cease in Iran because of munitions replenishment issues.
This could make any US activity in Mali, Greenland or Cuba less likely.

That does not mean the Guardian report is true, it's just the opinion of the writer.

If it is true if there was a serious war with China or Russia we would all be at risk because our weapons are also depleted. If the US is to continue the war it has to use the type of cheap low tech weapons that Iran uses.

Mali had been fighting a civil war with Rebels from the north alledgedly backed by Algeria, previously the government was backed by Russia through the Wagner group. That has ended and the government is looking for support, what's in it for Trump.?

Mali has a large mining industry Gold, Diamonds, Lithium and Rare Earths, is the probable reason, competing with China for resources.

Must be making tons and tons of money on the share market this Donocracy. Start a war, watch it go down , declare peace watch it go up. I think it is called insider trading.

this what happens when you have a loose cannon with no checks or safeguards in a position of ultimate power

A different definition of democracy for Donald then. Donacracy ? I don’t know why he can’t keep to himself and stop interfering with other nations. It won’t end well. A shame because he could have been so good and he had a lot on his side to start with.

You are talking about the despot running ( we’ll sort of) the USA. Just checking.

Trump needs to be looking in his own backyard. If he doesn't end the Iran war soon, then there is a possibility of starting WW3. China and Russia will join in. All the countries where there are US bases may opt not to support the US for fear of being targeted by the Iranians. . Since Trump is so transactional, those countries should charge him for using their bases too. So from where is he going to launch his offensive if he cant use these bases as a launching pad? Strange, how Israel has gone very quiet, having started this illegal war with Trump? Taiwan will be rich pickings for China as I can't see how the US can defend it with Trump meddling on so many fronts. I fear Trump has opened up a Hornet's nest which he doesn’t know how to close.

For Nanna8 and that " A shame because he could have been so good and he had a lot on his side to start with."??? What?? Sorry, that is utter ill-informed guff!!

Chump was thoroughly exposed as a sexist, racist, fraud and conman even when he spotted a vacuum at the top of the Republican party and made his big move to get the ultimate trophy (PoTUS), back in 2016 (find the C4 documentary from late 2015).

He has alienated most of the planet with this ludicrous war, and even at home his ratings have dropped like a stone with prices on the rise, and having to ask for $Billions more to pay for more missiles to fire at the Iranians (having promised "no more wars").

The Epstein files are a constant irritant, and a significant subset of his support have begun to realise what crooked scum he really is -- and always was. Goodness knows what dodgy film the Russians have on him, from back when he was trying to get hotels in Moscow.

"Trump administration weighing military options in Mali, officials say

If approved, it would add an eighth nation to the list of countries where President Donald Trump has ordered strikes since the start of his second term."
July 22, 2026 Washington Post.

An interesting article as for nearly three years I have been having a lot of interesting conversations about what is happening in Mali with my older son as he worked in Mali for nearly three years until it became too dangerous for any Europeans working there. He once arrived at the International airport when there was a coup.
While he was there he always had a guard to meet him at the airport and the Canadian firm. who he works for, had to be totally guarded.
For these reasons I believe Trump would find it difficult to get involved with a country who are having coups.

I still haven't seen a single mention of this here on the US.



Our media has been compromised, sadly.

He can't concentrate on anything for long, he needs something new to impose his will on when he gets bored.

He’s looking for another distraction from the Epstein files
