  1. I don't know what people still there are expecting. You're in SUDAN, get out or stop complaining. You chose to be there, the US isn't responsible for you.

  2. Investing in crypto now should be in every wise individuals list, in some months time you'll be ecstatic with the decision you made today..

  3. We American good guys always failing and again with our crazies' foreign policies bs. We sadly took down Omar Ghadaffy in Libya, Saddam Hussein in Iraq, we make Afghanistan and Syria our enemy. We secretly created the satanic Al-Qaida and ISIS to overthrow a democratic elected Syrian Government of Assad all to please our evil friend of Israel. Now this are the sad consequences. Where we once again have to run with our tail between the legs as cowards. We forgot Vietnam and Afghanistan. Now we continue making the same mistakes in Ukraine funding and helping the most corrupt, criminal and anti-Christian regime in eastern Europe with the support of us the blind American fools.

  4. So why are they killing each other exactly because they have different beliefs or what’s the deal.

  5. Civil wars feed on themselves — there is no off switch. And both sides lose big in the end.

  6. Africa and the people in Africa are tired of being sick and tired you guys have took everything that was on that land and you left him with nothing and you act like you want them to behave accordingly some countries don't take the American bulshit in America know not to go over there and mess with them because those people will hurt them seriously hurt them and not care you know you can't keep stepping on somebody and think they ain't going to stand up one day

  8. Such a beacon of tranquility

  9. Americans last. That’s the Biden policy!

  10. The whole world has gone to crap in 2 years. Democrats have such a great influence on the world.

  11. There’s no doubt, America’s most dangerous enemies around the world can smell Joe Biden’s overwhelming stench of weakness, cowardice, incompetence, and stupidity!

  12. It is extremely hypocritical to have three days of ceasefire due to religious practices and right after start killing each other 🤔⁉️

  18. They want that oil! Stirring up conflict in the region! Why can't they stay out of Africa!

  19. Why were so many still there, I understand the government officials but their spouses , children, tutors and housekeepers etc. These government officials can’t work without their spouses.

  20. Did they remember to evacuate the military first?

  21. Sorry all the money went to Ukraine and Biden family relatives. No help for Sudan.

  22. If there was problems they won't tell us

  23. I guess we need to start getting the coffins ready for the Americans that are killed because of our inept administration.

  24. Why is the US like this, just stay in your lane, stop pushing your regressive ideals on other countries, no one wants you there, the US is like a junkie family member that keeps showing up to family events and taking a dump on everyone's food
    STAY AWAY.

  25. It's capital is called CARTOONS, 2ND ONE IS YA BOOTIE? CRAZY SILLY BLK PPL

  26. Get out of that country before it's too late.

  27. If people only understood who starts all of this and why.

  28. The US carried out its dangerous operation in the cover of darkness. This putting people at risk while other countries used the daylight. The things we do for photo-ops.

  29. Only the US Govt personel and their families????
    What about the 16,000 Americans???
    Yet we picked up thousands of Afghans and brought them here to US

  30. Pretty sure the US will botch that up to with Biden behind the wheel

  31. The government cares more about other nations than our own.

  32. Commandoed you cave 🤙🤙pretty hard to get in

  33. Liberalism is a mental disorder

  34. Looks like the MIC is setting up to attack the country…….you know….for Democracy.

  35. It's weird that all these conflicts that happened during the Biden/Obama administration took a break while Trump was President but now are back

  36. Evacuate everyone not us citizen only

  37. Why we would announce us coming over to rescue, I’ll never understand.

  38. Why are we in these countries to begin with?
