so:text The Global War on Terror has become the Pentagon’s greatest tool in waging endless military campaigns. And now, on a planet of outrageous tweets and murderously angry white men, you probably didn’t even notice... American air strikes in… yep, Somalia, are precipitously on the rise. Last year’s 47 strikes, aimed at the leaders and fighters of al-Shabaab, an Islamist terror outfit, more than tripled the ones carried out by the Obama administration in 2016 . And in 2019, they’re already on pace to double again, while Somali civilians—not that anyone notices or cares—are dying in significant and rising numbers. And with 500 troops back on the ground there and Pentagon estimates that they will remain for at least another seven years, the US military is increasingly Somalia-bound, Congress hasn’t uttered a peep on the subject, and few in this country are paying the slightest attention.
