Turkish and Qatari Involvement in Africa
A thread.
When people think of the Turkish involvement in Libya they
miss a very significant objective of the current Turkish
government, which is expanding its influence over Africa,
specifically The sahel states, Somalia and Nigeria

This is by far the craziest story I have reported on in the 15 years I’ve been CEO of @gCaptain

BREAKING NEWS: Confirmation From Dr Sal on the news about @cmacgm and the French Navy I posted to my video this afternoon.

Next rumor to confirm is that @JakeSullivan46’s team at White House has running much of the coalition building directly with minimal Us Navy or MARAD involvement… and it’s a total mess!

Why is it a mess? The maritime interests of the nation were left to atrophy by the Obama administration who put a junior white house staffer and them a navy O5 submarine commander in charge of the important US Maritime Administration @DOTMARAD.

Trump recognized the deficiency and appointed 3 shipowners to his cabinet, put an experienced admiral in charge pf MARAD and opened a maritime desk - heady by a smart and - as @JoshuaSteinman can confirm - put an ambitious USCG officer- inside the national security council.

On day 1 of the Biden administration they closed the NSC maritime desk leaving the white house without any maritime experience. @SecretaryPete was given DOT as a political favor and MARAD was staffed with a long retired Admiral who had a multi-billion dollar climate change agenda.

This is not a political tweet - much of what the Trump administration tried to accomplish in the Maritime domain failed in the last year or was overturned by entrenched civil servants - but they did have an abundance of Maritime and Navy experts at the highest levels and had a few home runs like the revitalization of Philly shipyard, and the building brand new college training ships.

Biden has no maritime expertise on staff. Furthermore Biden put an army general as secretary defense, and has done a little to nothing to support the US Navy.

tl;dr there is an extreme lack of maritme and naval expertise within this administration.

The result is that the cornerstone of Naval strength - which is not our carrier groups, it is the strength of our allied coalitions - has fallen apart over the course of just a couple of days.

Out of our naval allies, only ten signed up for Operation Prosperity Guardian. Two of those refused to comit any hard assets. Two had few assets to supply. And one - France - stormed out of the first operational meeting in disgust and quit the group to go protect its own ships.

And now the most important waterway of global maritime commerce is blocked to all but French owned ships (they will open it up to EU ships shortly), US flagged ships with 🇺🇸 sailors aboard sit without protection in the Red Sea, and thousands of ships are going around the Cape of Good Hope emitting untold amount of carbon which the Biden administration claims is a priority.

This is an EPIC failure and a completely avoidable one. The White House has no shipping or naval expertise and should not have taken charge of this operation.

This operation should have been handed off to @SECNAV with close assistance by @SecretaryPete.

I have very little faith in secretary Pete’s Maritime knowledge, but the secretary of the Navy - Carlos del Toro - has done an excellent job in the last few months . He is the one who needs to run point here without interference from @SecDef and @POTUS

IDF's impending ground invasion of Gaza will be very, very hard. We are looking at a ground invasion from several areas where the majority of air support will be limited in close quarters. Are we looking at a mini Vietnam? (A Small Thread)..

Currently, the Isreali bombing is not random. It's targeted upon specific areas, shaping the area of operation for a future ground invasion..

We are looking at very dense urban combat, with columns of mechanised infantry walking into tight areas with mines, which can disrupt the entirety of the whole column, which makes it even more viable for ambushes

It's interesting to highlight that Hamas can utilise artillery, mortar & drones on any approaching columns.
