Cool state department propaganda bro. I prefer state department funded admissions of letting terrorism run rampant in the region across years and years of expensive military deployment, though. https://africacenter.org/spotlight/five-zones-militant-islamist-violence-sahel/ I don't think anyone is taking the Guantanamo Bay guys seriously with the "hey look, a Russian bird!" shit. You are not going to convince people that Africa is worse off with the Russians and Chinese.

If you DM me I will be happy to send you videos of the Ukrainians torturing their own soldiers with an electrified bedframe, which I got from Azov Telegram myself. That is, if you're curious why I can immediately intuit that "Viktoriaa" is full of shit.
