Djibouti is NOT “in North Africa,” but in the “horn of Africa.”
The semantic “North Africa” is, from west to east, Mauritania, Western Sahara, Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia, and some times Libya is included.
The geographic northern shore of Africa, which is the southern shore of the Mediterranean, is formed by, again from west to east, Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia, Libya, and Egypt.
South of Egypt is Sudan, then South Sudan; and east of Sudan and South Sudan are Ethiopia, Somalia and Djibouti. The latter is many lattitudes south of “North Africa.”
Geopolitical discussions should begin with some geographic literacy.
And the correct translation of Bab-al-mandab from Arabic is “door of lamentations,” not “Port of Tears.”

Enemies of the United States smell blood in the water due to our weakest leadership in history. Open borders & the influx of such enemies intensifies & emboldens them. The funding to the Houthis could very well have originated from American soil. Who knows where the pallets of cash went that was delivered to Iran under Obama? We better be looking for strong leadership in 2024 on foreign policy & the ones that will secure our borders. We are on the verge of losing our once great country. Every time we elect another soft, squishy liberal leader we edge even closer. Wake up people!

The closest thing we have to Houthis are the J6 crew.

CPAC said it best.

The weakest possible signal we could send to the world is a Trump election. He will immediately abandon Ukraine to Putin and Taiwan to China, and begin trying to pull us out of NATO. Even Republicans in Congress know this and voted for legislation that would make pulling us out of NATO more difficult. It won’t work. Trump will destroy NATO.

As for the Middle East, he will do what is best financially for Trump. If he can make more money supporting Israel he will. If he can make more money from the Arab nations he will support them. Its just Trump’s way. He does not even understand why anyone would think that is wrong.

Republican domestic terrorists are our greatest threat. That and willfully misinformed dolts who spread the domestic terrorists’ propaganda. Funny how these morons are just parroting the exact same taking points from Obama’s time in office.

It’s Republican Senators who held up military promotions for months and months (harming our military’s stability) and Republicans who are holding up aid to our Allies who are actually spilling blood taking on our biggest enemy, Russia. It was Democrats who went straight to Taiwan to give the middle finger to China and China didn’t do shit. As a matter of fact, China’s domestic propaganda praise America now.

So, save your lies about Biden/Democrats. It’s Republicans who are weak and bumbling fools when it comes to defense and foreign policy. They can’t even run their local parties, much less an entire Country. That is why they continue to lose in landslide after landslide in national elections.
