US President Joe Biden designated Kenya as a “major non-NATO ally” on Monday, making it the first sub-Saharan African nation to receive the designation.
The move comes as Washington seeks to push back against growing Russian and Chinese influence in the region.
Biden then pointed to Nairobi’s assistance with the US’s national security priorities, including efforts to defeat the Daesh/ISIS terror group as well as al-Shabab in East Africa, what Biden described as “mutual support” for Ukraine and ongoing efforts to deploy a Kenyan security force in the instability-wracked Caribbean island nation of Haiti.
“You killed a few protestors, NICE”
based kenya
For becoming a NATO “ally” and sending weapons to Ukraine?
I think people are misreading the headline as them not being an ally of NATO and being designated as such. It’s weird verbiage to get there but that’s how I took it at first.
Makes sense, the sentence construction is definitely wonky to say the least.
I think I only picked up on it because I’ve seen Japan referred to in a similar way before.
oh i read it wrong
All good, it’s a weird sentence.
I first read this title as “Biden designates Kanye as ‘major non-NATO ally’”
yeATO
Jomo Kenyatta is rolling in his grave…
Nah, the guy’s made a comprador state out of Kenya, despite his past communist and national-liberation activism… maybe he’s actually smiling
Hahahahahhahahaahhahahahahahhahahahahahhahaha…
I honestly hope Kenya, during its social upheaval, gets a coup or revolution, while its overseas forces are still ‘peacekeeping’ in Haiti…
That will certainly be an interesting event.
Like that Soviet astronaut that stayed in space during the illegal dissolution of the USSR
The move comes as Washington seeks to push back against growing Russian and Chinese influence in the region.
I wonder if Kenya will receive aid comparable to what China is doling out at the moment…
Last I checked Biden was out of stock on hospitals, schools and water purifiers. But they do have a buy-one-get-a-dozen-free deal on military bases and occupying armies.
Can I get that with the puppet dictator bundle?
