Most of the contributing "American allies" were Iraqi army and Iran-backed Shiite militias. America is help to keep ISIS alive on the Iraqi border still.

How's Baghdad these days? What's the level of insecurity in general? Has anything improved in the last year?

Kek. But seriously, Africa has many lawless areas which Islamists are happy to infest. African leadership has problems dealing with it, and no one else is really stepping up to the plate.

No, but I can add those in as well if you like, we can make it 100,000+ killed.

They will never admit anything like this because they're stooges for Russian propaganda. We have been bombing ISIS for years before Russia shows up, empties their old dummy bomb collection on what's left, and calls it a day.
And Russia never once touched Iraq. ISIS is not called Islamic State of Syria. But it's okay because the propagandists can just give all the credit for what happened in Iraq to the 30 or 40 Iranian militiamen there.
Fucking pukes. Can't say the truth with a straight face. If this was the Cold War you'd see them root for the commies.
Robert Hall
now that I think of it, it's also just a patently incorrect statement since the French army in particular has been heavily invested in counter-terrorism operations in Africa (being that its all former french clay) since the mid-80s.
So it is quite literally just "USA USA USA"
Oliver Torres
P(F)erisna
Jeremiah Smith
Not to mention that both cities that had served as ISIS capitals were freed with mostly American help.
France's intervention is an excuse for the regimes in place to not put money into that issue and make sure their governments will not be troubled by any kind of rebels, be they islamists or simply fed up people.
It's the oldest United Nations mission still ongoing... simply going balls deep and occupying it would be more trouble than it's worth when it comes to international recognition (which is all we need at this point). South Africa have been niggers recently and stole a cargo of phosphates we sent while promising to give the revenues to the polisario. This will have long-lasting effects on the relationship between the two countries, especially in the current context with Morocco's deep integration process into the African Union.
Christian Peterson
>There are people in this general who don't get this That's not how you do it. It's (F)ersian. Ah, the American help, where they proceeded to bomb Mosul and Raqqa into the worst ruins this war has seen. They're still cleaning up Mosul, and it'll take years if not a decade+ to clean up all the mess in Mosul.
Matthew Rogers
Yes yes, I'm sure you'd prefer that Islamists take over Africa. Come on guys, it's France. Not trying to insinuate anything against their efforts, but we already relied on them to settle shit in Vietnam and look how that ended up.
Jose Morales
صباح الخير لسوريا و المغرب و العرب كلهم Oh, it's getting better over here, bombings slowed down significantly, Most of the shit is going down in the west towards the Border with Syria. Life goes on here. You would sometimes forget there's a war going on off to the west of Baghdad lol
Luke Reed
How about the number of "moderate rebels" killed by Russia + allies? It is much higher than the ISIS number. Different objectives, plus their de facto capital of Mosul was in Iraq.

Salafist caliphate will crop up in Africa if the people there want it to crop up. If they truly want salafist caliphate, there ain't shit a superpower can do to stop it. Besides, the region's had salafist caliphates long before America existed, and it will continue to have salafist caliphates after America is gone.
Jack Robinson
Spotted the newfaggots.
James Ortiz
What caliphates are you referring to? Salafism didn't exist until the 18th century. And no, they don't just pop up because of popular support. That's the laziest excuse to sit around and let corruption fester I've ever heard.

Ryder Campbell
>Explain? I know next to nothing about that situation. Morocco is buddies with the US and most of western Europe right now when it comes to the Western Saharan case. Sweden and the Netherlands are still being bitches by kneeling to a handful of militants, though. During the last 5 years, we've also managed to get on our side the majority of African countries, with only Mozambique, Tanzania, Kenya, Zimbabwe, Algeria, and South Africa being hardline opponents at the moment.
The problem is that even with all this, none of our allies will outright say "Sahara is Moroccan" at this point. Morocco has proposed multiple plans to give autonomy to the region, but only under the unchanging condition that it falls under Moroccan sovereignty, which SADR has always refused. As long as the core beliefs of the two parties involved clash like that, Western Sahara will remain a "non-self-governing territory", in UN-speak.
>African Union seems to have worse problems to deal with at the moment than a soured relationship between SA and Morocco (who are on opposite ends of the continent). Morocco coming back into the AU actually divided the union in two camps on an issue which wasn't really brought up before, given that Western Sahara is (illegally) a member. This could allow us to put some pressure on pro-saharan countries.

>Not trying to insinuate anything against their efforts, but we already relied on them to settle shit in Vietnam and look how that ended up. FFS, frogs are spent at that time. The frogs know it, amis, know it, and even the viets know it as well. Had Vietnam been given independence then you might have had a strong "bulwark" against gommies inna EA and SEA. But since you amis want manifest destiny ver. 2.0/neo-colonialism (by using frogs as a front, and waging a hearts and minds campaign on the mountain people of Vietnam), a Korean-esque Vietnam happened.
Still, amis being all heroics 'n' shieet would just absolve the nigger gubmint of nigger-related duties and responsibilities.
You need to let them sort their shit out instead of you sorting their own shit out. Pretty much amis or any foreign power acting as world police just gives an incentive for the local gubmint/military retards to flourish since these fuckers know that you will be saving their asses at the eleventh hour. If you want an accurate example of what I just typed, just look at fliplandistan pre-Duterte administration. Now, we have a lot of catching-up to do due to the laziness and incompetency in our gubmint and armed forces. (Fucks sake, even our military officials still insist on buying overpriced western shit.)

Letting nations and their peoples have crunch times pertaining to governance is not an "ideal", it is what is supposed to be done; i.e. reality. It is basically how any nation in this world started. There is no nation that succeeded whilst being coddled by any foreign power/s.

>What do you think would take for them to recognize Western Sahara as Moroccan clay? At this point, the only reason Western Sahara is still an issue at the UN is because of its initial inertia. Nobody wants to be the first one to break UN protocol (which calls for the "self-determination right of the Sahrawi people"), especially first world nations which are very careful when it comes to that. Only a breakdown of the Polisario could probably resolve the solution at this point... and with Algeria next door being its #1 sponsor, that sounds pretty hard. It's kind of a frozen cold conflict. >Because your allies outnumber your opponents? I'd have been hesitant to say that before, but in the last 5 years, the King put a lot of effort into doing a "tour" of Africa, improving bilateral relations between Morocco and the rest of the continent through trade agreements and capital injection (we're one of the leading investors in Africa). We used to be very focused towards the Arab World and Europe in the past, and given how unstable the former is and how unhelpful the latter are, it was time to diversify a bit.
Also can't forget that SADR tries to hijack any kind of African conference/summit through their supporters, like the time the Mozambique representative in an Africa-Japan summit tried to sneak a Western Saharan guy in and got shouted at by the nips (whose imperial house is on very good terms with the Moroccan monarchy): zitamar.com/mozambique-morocco-japan-three-way-fight-western-sahara-maputo/ This kind of petty drama decredibilizes the AU.
I heard something about that, but thanks to new strains, the production has increased in the last 10 years while the surface of weed fields has decreased by 3x.

That's right, keep praying for the collapse of the US. It will come any day now. Russian and Chinese bases in Western Europe by 2030. Lol
Easton Collins
Didn't Duterte appear despite our help?
They'll be ready when they're ready. Until then we'll give them money and bomb their jihadists. Because attempting to nip the islamist problem in the bud is more important than pulling out on a wish and a prayer.
Moron. Stable countries mean stable markets. We make far more money from exports to peaceful countries than we do from selling weapons. This is ultimately about investment.
