Twice as many strikes as Biden's four years
Per AFRICOM - 101 airstrikes in Somalia this year so far. 59 specifically targeted ISIS.
—
That’s unprecedented in two ways. First, largest annual number of strikes in Somalia. Second, in that the majority are targeting ISIS and not Al-Shabaab.

The administration has been on a Foreign Terrorist Organization designation spree. But most of the groups it has targeted have not been what we'd traditionally consider "terrorists".

The Khashoggi comments, as gross as they were, echoed what Trump has long said about the journalist's murder. MBS is Trump’s boy, as he’s always been. But the lovefest isn't absolute. It has its limits. New @joshuakeating.bsky.social: www.vox.com/politics/469...
