This is where we are at. For what? For nothing. For stupidity. For ego. For an old, demented malignant narcissist who expects the world to jump at his every whim. Well, when you follow international news you can see that the world has pretty much had enough of his bullshit.

This Thursday, January 15, Ugandan President Yoweri Museveni is seeking his seventh term in office in the first presidential election of Africa’s 2026 calendar. The election is in many ways a microcosm of the crosscurrents shaping the political space in Africa.

Not sure who needs to hear this, but having the *ability* to conduct clandestine, high-risk, precision strikes with elements from JSOC is not synonymous with having a strategic logic within which conducting them is a rational choice.
