al al shabaab has gone into kenya and been responsible for mass casualty incidents there. know that that's already on offering for them. that's something that they're trying to do. and i believe that one of the problems we've seen is that with, for example, the obama administration iraq and syria, they took a hands-off approach, they allowed the failed state to become the launchpad for jihadism, and then it was our problem anyway. so trump's team is looking at this problem set. and, look, it's very, very complicated and no one can fix this easily. but losing the problem set of what's going on with jihadist in sub-saharan africa more now even air strikes which involve more casualties. that will happen if you're taking a harder line. that prevents us from dealing with. okay. now there's a civil war in somalia, which has been happening over the course of recent decades. but now there's the complete implosion and hundreds of thousands of people killed. >> buck sexton. good to see you. >> good to see you. >> happy thanksgiving. >> eat well. >> that, i can promise. >> coming up,

as a means of justifying these airstrikes if it is mentioned by the trumpet ministration that al shabaab is affiliated with isis or al qaeda in many cases people just blocked out any further thought about what the u.s. military is actually doing on the ground there are the areas in which they are stationed strategic for example in djibouti where you have the camp limone now which is the largest concentrated presence of u.s. troops right next door to somalia clearly in the range of the gulf of aden it's within short distance from the southern arabian peninsula leads into the indian ocean which is one of the largest shipping lanes internationally we could also look at and as year zero is the world's fourth largest producer of uranium all of the presence of u.s. troops in africa is clearly related to economic and military interests. the u.s. intelligence community has struck a deal with amazon for the company to provide data storage the online giant has developed a special project tailored exactly to the government's needs are to jack involved explains. the line between political business a
