The Pentagon has had to recognize that nearly 1,000 US soldiers are deployed in Niger after four soldiers died in an ambush in October .

After the  death  in October four US militaryin an  ambush  near the Nigerian town of Tongo Tongo, the Pentagon had to admit that nearly 1,000 US soldiers are deployed in Niger ,  something that until then even the Congress was aware . 

In addition,  the number of US ground forces deployed in Syria and Afghanistan turned out to be much higher than officially announced . USA He keeps his troops around the world and participate in secret in many armed conflicts, as confirmed to  RIA Novosti former members of the US military. 

"An endless war without boundaries" 

After what happened in Niger, several US senators admitted not knowing that his country had troops there. "I did not know that there were 1,000 soldiers in Niger , " said  Republican Senator Lindsey Graham told NBC.

"This is an endless war without limits and without limitations of time and geography",? Said the politician, adding that "they have to tell us more."

Comment:  Senator Linsey Graham is right that the US war carried out is endless and has no limitations of time and geography, however, he does not seem to be a voice against this kind of war. 

Just look at some of his past statements: Another gem  of his latest repertoire, this time about North Korea:

"There is a military option: destroy the North Korean program and North Korea itself , " Graham said on the  Today  NBC Tuesday morning. 

"He [President Trump] not allow this madman has a missile to attack the United States , " he added, referring to North Korean leader Kim Jong-un. "If there will be a war to stop it , will be there [in North Korea] . If thousands die, will die there, not die here. "

Then they came to light other shocking figures and so knew that  there were 8,900 US military, but 14,000 in Afghanistan and Syria, where at the time of Obama's Defense Ministry gave the figure of 503 soldiers of the Ground Forces, there were actually 2,000 . 

"As if they owned" 

As Zajar Artemiev, I ex - soldier US Army, the tragedy of Tongo Tongo reminiscent of the one in 1993 in Mogadishu (Somalia), when 18 US soldiers were killed and 73 wounded. 

As now, until then nothing was known about the presence of US military in Somalia.

Artemiev admits to having heard many similar stories that "occurred in various parts of the world" and many of which "remained unknown." 

"In Europe, especially in Germany, the US military feel completely free" recalls Artemiev, among other places served on a US base in this European country. 

"In fact, try and behave almost anywhere, and today US troop units are in various countries around the world , " he adds. 

US military "always behave as if they own" , recounts, in turn, Nikolai Felshtinski, who emigrated to the US Belarus and he served in the US Army. 

Felshtinski recalls a case in Colombia, "our officers directly gave orders to the police."Recalls, but the agents did not have to obey US soldiers, always did. 

Worldwide 

According  to data  official Department of Defense, the US Armed Forces They consist of 1.3 million people, including 450,000 - a third part- serving abroad. 

The former chief of staff of the US Army, Raymond Odierno,  acknowledged  at the time that the US military were stationed  in 150 countries  worldwide . 

Under the Constitution, any use of the armed forces abroad can only be made with approval of the Senate. However, the September 14, 2001  Congress adopted the 'Authorization of use of military force against terrorists "(Authorization for Use of Military Force Against Terrorists, AUMF) authorizing the president to send troops to countries where they operated the forces responsible for the attack on US

Artemiev believes that such documents are those "free the owner of the White House of the need to seek permission from senators and allow you to send US troops to different parts of the world." 

In the same vein, Felshtinski explains that "under the pretext of fighting terrorism", USA You can fight "against a regime that does not like  Trump, Obama or Bush." 

"Simply write in the papers that there is a suspicion of terrorist activity in any region of Syria, for example, and send planes to bomb the positions of the forces of Al Assad," he concludes.

Commentary: 

And most unfortunate is that an excuse to generate credible enough, not enough to simply say again and again, but they must "create reality" that favors them. 

For this arm, fund and support the mercenaries who become characters from the  nightmare of terrorism  to commit real fatal attacks. 

Thus create the necessary impact to make people feel  sufficiently terrified  and justify the invasion and destruction of countries like the author of the article says, does not like to shift the US administration. 

Although really decides what you do or not to shift management it is the  deep state rather Trump, Obama or Bush.)
