The #US military is not about #defense. It’s about "full-spectrum #dominance" of #land, #sea, #air, #space, #cyber & information in all forms. No other military divides the world into global commands ( #CENTCOM, #AFRICOM, etc.) for the application of #militarypower.

The predator empire's #AFRICOM neocolonial borg will use OpenAI to target and kill black people in Africa. https://theintercept.com/2024/10/25/africom-microsoft-openai-military/ #USBasesOut
“ U.S. Africa Command, or #AFRICOM, believes access to #OpenAI’s technology is “essential” for its mission.”
https://theintercept.com/2024/10/25/africom-microsoft-openai-military/
"Less than a year after OpenAI quietly signaled it wanted to do business with the Pentagon, a procurement document obtained by The Intercept shows U.S. Africa Command, or AFRICOM, believes access to OpenAI’s technology is “essential” for its mission.
The September 30 document lays out AFRICOM’s rationale for buying cloud computing services directly from Microsoft as part of its $9 billion Joint Warfighting Cloud Capability contract, rather than seeking another provider on the open market. “The USAFRICOM operates in a dynamic and evolving environment where IT plays a critical role in achieving mission objectives,” the document reads, including “its vital mission in support of our African Mission Partners [and] USAFRICOM joint exercises.”
The document, labeled Controlled Unclassified Information, is marked as FEDCON, indicating it is not meant to be distributed beyond government or contractors. It shows AFRICOM’s request was approved by the Defense Information Systems Agency. While the price of the purchase is redacted, the approval document notes its value is less than $15 million."

New report out on US AFRICOM outcomes:
"Terrorism in Africa increased 100,000% during 'war on terror'"
... there's a meme for this
Last evening in #Vicenza - a beautiful Italian city where some of the most important U.S. military bases are (#173rdAirbornBrigade + #Africom) - the reputable antifascist org, #ANPIVicenza, awarded the #WikiLeaks founder, Julian #Assange, its honorary membership
Un altro successo a cui noi italiani abbiamo, probabilmente, contribuito attraverso #Sigonella e #Africom: madre e bambina ammazzati da un drone USA in #Somalia, a cui Usa rifiutano una semplice parola di umanità e scuse, come fatto per #GiovanniLoPorto
From the #Berlin_Conference to the subversion of liberation movements to #neocolonial puppets and the current sprawl of #AFRICOM "counterterrorism.”
Abby Martin sits down with Eugene Puryear to discuss the big picture of #US_imperialism in #Africa.
