So the Somalian government worked with US, amongst others, against al-Shabab - an islamistic terrorist group, killing 3 militants? Well, of course ATRL-Qaeda is angry, US = bad, terrorists = good, right? Onto the next Kremlin propaganda piece, please ATRL-Qaeda/HamasTRL will always defend anyone opposing the US and debase itself to supporting terrorists because "America bad" is the focal point of their entire worldview. 1 1 11
byzantium Posted January 26 Posted January 26 Just now, playwithme said: You are the one who lost the plot. DemocracyNow, a far-left pro-Kremlin group that supports bombing apartments full of civilians on a daily basis, is trying to manufacture some selective outrage over liquidating three terrorists in cooperation with the Somali government. Find me a single post by DemocracyNow condemning russia's daily bombing of civilians in apartment buildings. https://en.interfax.com.ua/news/general/962759.html If you support terrorism, yes. Did AI write this? I’m not sure you even understand what you are talking about anymore. We are not even talking about Democracy Now or whatever that is. 3

There's a difference between liquidating a few terrorists in cooperation with the government and bombing apartment buildings full of civilians on a daily basis. Yet, DemocracyNow regularly platforms russia apologists who are yet to condemn russia's war crimes against Ukraine while parroting "AmericaBad" propaganda. My original post was meant to highlight their hypocrisy. You should improve your reading comprehension skills before engaging in further discussions on the subject.

DAP Posted January 26 Posted January 26 Well here is even more context; that al-Shabab emerged from a US-backed invasion of Somalia by Ethiopia that toppled an interim state that ousted a bunch of CIA-backed warlords oppressing the country. Same shite, different day. 1

Bosque Posted January 27 Posted January 27 (edited) 22 hours ago, Zaram said: For people who want more information than a tweet headline. https://www.fdd.org/analysis/op_eds/2024/01/23/us-launches-first-drone-strike-of-the-year-in-somalia/ Wow this is very interesting context! I wonder why OP didn’t add it into his post? He must have simply missed it Quote According to AFRICOM, “at the request of the Federal Government of Somalia, U.S. Africa Command conducted a collective self-defense airstrike with two engagements against the al Shabaab terrorist group on Jan. 21.” The U.S. military command continued by adding that “the collective self-defense strike occurred in a remote area of Somalia, approximately 35 kilometers northeast of Kismayo.” According to the U.S., three Shabaab members were killed without inflicting any civilian casualties. I assume that a “US ignores request from Somalia - continues genocidal colonization strategy while Somali civilians suffer” thread would have been made instead if the USA had ignored a request by an allied government to strike a domestic terrorist cell that has bragged about killing hundreds of soldiers just a few days ago and routinely kills several hundred civilians in Somalia every year. I know ATRL users are extremely concerned by attacks on and bombings of civilians, so I’m sure they will open a thread to decry the actions of Al Shabaab very soon Edited January 27 by Dephira 1
