Inside the U.S. Base in Djibouti As Military Race with China Escalates
China has a lot of economic influence now, but after the ripple effect of Evergrande their economy will be in serious trouble. All the companies that were on Evergrande’s ledger were fake paper fiat trading companies that laundered and squandered Billions. Who’s gonna want to do business there after that? All we got to do now is wait, and let the pieces fall where they may. I know America is terrible at that though.
Im curious inside chinese base, the ammenities , restaurant , maybe chicken kungpao instead hamburger
Hold tight, for times are nolonger easy to cry babies..
Very propaganda based report…
Does Not Matter What The Divided STATES Of America Do Or Say …
The STATES Are Bankrupt/INSOLVENT : So Their Blah Blah “Sanctions” Actually Mean SWEET F.A. To The Global Community : You Already Know ……
The REAL Global Consensus Is That The Divided STATES Are Finished And Their Capitalistic Self Interest Is Irrelevent : Nuff Said …….
China must expand its bases and we also have to expand ours
You’ll be having the war in the US, not on foreign land, baby.
Currently, Ethiopian people & Government are saying #NoMore to Biden’s admin middling & supporting of Terrorist group TPLF in Horn Of Africa.
The US shouldn’t sanction any country that approves a Chinese military base on their land
ah yeah, and just as in China, my comments are moderated out………
How many americans have been killed by other than americans? and how many americans have been killed by americans?
Africa have right to bulid military base around usa and westerns?
Joe is a failed presidency
China’s not Peace. World Conquest!
I dont see why not, I mean, if America has the right to plop bases around the world for ‘security”, so should they. I dont support china by any means, but that’s my 2 cents noone asked for.
No wars please. We need “Made in China” goods as shortages continues to plaque the US economy.
We in East Africa feel more safe with China than the United States of terrorism
Wake up African
The CCP is destroying China at record speed.
Chinese Communist Party is a prime example of why the world should learn the very important lesson of never letting dirt poor uneducated people rise up. We shouldn’t abuse them either, but certainly never let them bear anywhere near power where they can make any sort of impactful decision making. It’s not worth it.
USA go home.
The game is on .US is setting in turmoil the whole horn of Africa and tries to measure every ones response.In the mean time preaching about democracy intensifies when all is about CONTAIN CHINA . DE JAVOU (CONTAIN SOVIET)
All should leave.
F****** hilarious Chinese are engaging in Neo colonialism
white is right! right?
The US is competing for hegemony for dear life. Without ur God America u r nothing n r doomed
We would get our butts kicked by the Chinese because why we have been building 150 million dollar a pop airplane they have been building 35 million dollar very capable airplanes at a much higher rate. The sales pitch of Lockheed Martin as doomed this country and produced a piece of crap airplane otherwise known as the F-35. I’d rather have four more f-15s in the air than one F-35
This stadium size country bringing trouble to our door steps in East Africa
To help China steal more resources from Africa…..sadly Africa doesn’t gain anything because the west still acts in a conduct of supremacy towards African people. But if a war between the White man and the China man happens I rather the White man win because racism under communism would be hard for Blacks to bear. Look at how the Chinese do the Uyghur. At least Blacks in America get to protest put a cop or 2 in jail and effect some change.
If you want a good measure of how Western democracy is doing measure it by The Plight and progress of blacks because we are the most marginalized in America. But something in my spirit tells me Chinese racism would be far worse than what the white man has dished out. in China they still allowed for open discrimination towards black people in night club and places to rent. In America and other western nations they try to be clever about their racism but once caught they get sued. In China there’s no repercussions for racism towards Black people.
Foolish warmongering
The hypocrisy of the US having hundreds of bases around the globe and then slandering the Chinese for daring to do the same.
We should be very concerned about the Chinese military base, not the idk hundreds of American bases. America has always stood for peace on an international level 🤔
Flying over yo b00ty 😂
United States 🇺🇸 want to commit suicide to attack China 🇨🇳
America is no longer the super power….we are at the beginning of our end.
🇩🇯 is 🇪🇹 tertory us must leave
I am suggesting president BIDEN to recognize Somaliland because Somaliland deserve to be recognized that is clear as day light and eventually I do believe that UK or USA will push KENYA or UGANDA to recognize Somaliland to lead the other African countries to do so because Somaliland is the only country who rejected china plan in Africa an as we know chine is in DJIBOUTI , KENYA ,SOMALIA, ETHIOPIA AND ALSO ERETERIA therefore SOMALILAND is the only place rejected china to come and if china come Somaliland that will be the end of UK and USA about RED SEA AND INDIAN OCEAN strategy that is why USA and UK should push African countries to recognize Somaliland as soon as possible to get legal militaria base in Somaliland
🥱
Live African we don’t need you. You are here in Africa to still resource.
Wow united states paragon of freedom, except for people like john mc afee and julian assange
Djibouti better get USA out of their land
Dijbouti should get every country there out of their land
CHINA is becoming STRONGER backed by RUSSIA while US GOV becoming Weak backed by PUTIN-XI. . that smart strategy of SOVIET COMMUNIST. That a reality now. I’m not a haters. .
That’s where I’m goin in June can’t wait 69th inf baby💪🏽
so china can use chemical warfare on the world with no one to stand up for whats right its depressing
Only the USA can have ambitions?
white is right
we need a second navy a UN navy. China can do that. To ensure global free trade free from unilateral western sanction and serizures.
Leave Africa , they tyna turn it to Iraq
All hail the global Anglo-Saxon empire!
That will cause nuclear Armageddon with China , Pakistan, North Korea , etc , Climate Change kicked started by Anglo Saxons since 1492 will cause many wars also then the world will forever hate whites , so hail that Anglo Saxon doom empire !
Flightovers do not scare China…
Only with China does Africa stand a chance tobprogress….over a century with the white colonists, didn’t do them any good…
CHINA is here….Africa will rise.
No africa will not rise for over a century white colonist controlled africa and now a new colonist has arrived china is putting African countries in debt traps the only ones that will make africa rise are African no one else nobody cares
Only what usa does good if china does thats is the problem
Us has been engaged in so many different wars right from the Vietnam war, China has never been at war since this is why China is likely to emerge an economic superpower. Watch closely
Goo china, save the world…and to usa, please stop killing people in so many countrys.
So many wars so many dead, all supposedly because someone perceive that their God is better than the other persons God; is there no end.
this report focuses only on “US interest”, did any US official ever think of Africa for a split second?
China should have to pay for everything their virus caused.
Sadly Africa has no hope, its leaders have always sold out its birthwright to highest bidding foreigners with nothing solid in return. Its just the black man’s destiny.
America is a criminal country. What is wrong with Africa?.
Lol China will open its largest military overseas in Somalia 🇸🇴 not far from Djibouti. Meanwhile US forces left Somali
Biden is back in today lol
Africa hasn’t learned enough from the middle east…..
Take out all these foreign troops from the motherland
🤦they are the one who’s talking 😅
down down USA
Hey guy look up china belt and road initiative, it puts poor countries in debt and “rents” ports or airport for 99 years
Here we go US causing drama over nothing
The only base that should be in that region is Ethiopia…
“They’re watching us, just as we’re watching them”….lol, they have no clue you’re there, stop being so dramatic!
All of these poor country see is $$$ from china, like all senators and representatives all c s $$$$!
But this is totally fine?

Ikr the hypocrisy
How blessed the people of Djibouti to have an american base in their territory to promote democracy, humanism, unconditional love,
peace, solidarity, humanitarian aid and generally all the high american ideals.
You high?
this reporting is so biased….the guy drives around the Chinese military base and nobody threaten him or anything, but somehow he decides he wants to U-turn as if he has received threats, and then decide to contrast that with Americans training local forces. I am sure if he were a Chinese news-agency, the Chinese will also show him how they interact with locals
USA gtfko
hmmm sounds like they want control of the Suez Canal
Finish off china. China is trying to control the world economy always.
Given the current mental state of America’s millennials , there is no way they could function as conscripts in any future USA wars. Potential active school shooters and drug users can’t be expected to be soldiers. Where will America gets its fighting force.
US Military kills their own military service members to make BBC TV videos like Cpt Gucherio and 1sgt Kevin Armstrong(Retired SGM Commander of CVMA gang in Clarksville TN) OIF6 2008 C Co 1/327 Infantry 101st ABN Division Ft Campbell KY. Setup my platoon to get attacked by our personal trained Iraqi SWAT team my platoon trained. They should be charged with 30 counts Attempted Murder and 5 counts Aggravated Assault with American M-67 hand grenades. Or I am going to use same tactics with BBC TV News reporters to take down all US military and government same way…like Special Forces, Delta Force and CIA are my targets plus I can use my magic ✨ to find them to.
I’m jump around son and in sem taim eny ledar whant faind his lit faind that behind navy ruossia how start walk
They stole our land and called it Djibouti.
President Trump 24 thank you very much
US can have more 750 military bases around the world why not China have military bases to protect China’s interest. It’s the US and the West hegemonic policies towards the non western nations that makes China and Russia to have military bases to counter them. ❤️❤️❤️🇷🇺🇷🇺🇷🇺🇨🇳🇨🇳🇨🇳👍👍👍🙏🙏🙏
I don’t see China using their forcing to help fight insurgents in Somalia and other countries. lol.
I saw that Chinese base and they want the entire country of Djibouti. And with trickery they’ll get it. 😞
Wow being concerned for what you have been doing since ww2. I get it but they’re developed too and they can do that if they want to. Just sucks cuz they can
China is soon gonna open it’s base here in the US, and it’s allied Nations too! By the way China is aggressively prevention!
No the usa is aggressive
Why did they allow us and china base in Djibouti
Djibouti is a small country with no natural resources so their only income is to rent military bases and import/export taxes from ethiopia.
Us and China should leave us alone with their wicked plans
Earth and .U.S.A. owns China and Chinese chinese people HOORAH pearl harbor power 🇺🇸
jiboutians are not stupid….
the Americans occupied ex France airbase, and as usual started uncertainty in the horn of Africa.
so the jiboutians secretly dealt and brought China and surprised America.
Closed
bab al mandab strait
Stop eny economy
Moving fast most we be redy in decampar
What about the US military base all across the globe? Oh wait, we can’t question them can we? Lmfao!
So true. 1 base for china is the end of the world but U.S having over 70 bases is okay.
@@daviddennen7479 don’t you mean over 700
@@tbphillips9649 your right
Americans do not manufacture products to create wealth, but rely on finance to plunder the wealth of other countries to survive. In hundreds of military bases around the world, they provoke wars to create chaos, and then cooperate with the 10-year dollar tide (indiscriminate issuance of dollars, recovery of dollars) to plunder the wealth of other countries for profit. Who dares not use dollars, hundreds of military bases around the world began to threaten to subvert and invade other countries by force, such as Iraq, Syria, Libya, Afghanistan, The Confederacy………..
The European and American colonists relied on the wealth accumulated by colonial plunder to make their own people live a good life for decades
Bruht the US has bases in 85 countries. In some countries it has multiple bases. China only has 1..
Russia and China please save us these evils please Jesus Christ
I don’t see any special with this ongoing situation. It’s just natural, there is one global dominant for so long. Now there is country which richer and richer. And try to become another dominant’s. The only concern is that this will direct others country to be more polarized and the third world country people will suffer the most once all those reach the boiling point of “any type of war”.
Not sure why the US makes such a fuss about it. They’ve got about 750 *times* more oversees bases – all over the world – than China, and yet they act as if it’s inconceivable China would put up even one…. what sort of double standard is being used, here?
Look I know the US likes to depict China as some war-loving enemy, but one should have a reality-check here. It’s strange how the US causes that what it fears. It’s like a self-fulfilling prophesy, where the US makes China into the warmongering antagonist, and then uses what it created itself as an excuse to say: “look, we were right”. So little self-reflection is done. Reality is, however, that the US has invaded, attacked, or meddled in FAR more other sovereign countries these last 3 decades than any other country in the world, including China – by far. So the US is pointing fingers at others being the aggressors, while, in fact, they are the biggest aggressors. Pretty hypocritical. As has been proven over and over these last 3 decades, the West doesn’t hesitate to invade any country it deems it needs to. Yet always points the finger at others – full of moral outrage – when other countries are doing it, but always excusing themselves (“weapons of mass destruction”) when *they* are doing it. No wonder North-Korea is building nukes: it’s the only way to be sure the US doesn’t invade you. Because the irony is, if Iraq actually HAD had nukes and ICBM’s, the US would never have invaded them in the first place! So one is basically urging states to get nukes as fast as possible.
As said, one has only to look at Iraq (twice), Libya, Sudan, Yemen, Panama, Somalia, Haiti, Liberia, Yugoslavia, East-Timor, Sudan, Syria, Afghanistan, etc., etc. All done – and many more – by the US, these last 3 decades alone. The truth is, not China, but he US interfered, attacked or invaded more foreign sovereign states than any other country in the world.
A lot of African countries are in debt to China; therefore the PRC can call on those debts by having the Africans allow them to build military bases in strategic locations on the African continent. This would give the Chinese the advantage of being able to strike at targets in the Atlantic, Mediterranean, and Indian Oceans. Also, the Chinese could launch missiles at Europe (NATO), India, and the USA. They could also attack Israel and hold Moscow in check!
The US has hundreds of bases all over the world….
The US has over 800 military bases and they see nothing wrong with that. China has one and all of a sudden the US is freaking out.
Stop military based in Africa African United
This is awful journalism. You should be ashamed of how biased this is, Americans truly are the most propagandized people on this planet
I give it to the chinese they made a very good base. hardened. while the us forces are living in tin tents… strategic blunder not to take that land and build a deep-water pier before the chi coms did..
