Absolutely level-headed policy. Whoever came up with this deserves some serious praise.
Thanks for open sourcing it.
When I say "our" forces I mean any people who are holding weapons provided by us, eating food provided by us and working towards goals that are set by us. How all of that is funneled to them I have no idea.
Now that the west instated former leader of Mali was ousted France wanted to re-de-stabilize again it seems. It might or might not be worth it.

I should have stated it more as an opinion rather than fact but I stand by it. It's hard to believe that the US has so much intelligence yet we're unable to predict the guys we're training are going to attempt to take over the country. It's also not hard to understand that if we're committing billions of dollars to a war effort there isn't someone or a group of someone who have a hugely vested interest in either keeping the status quo for existing streams of income or removing some impediment in a potential stream of income. Those streams mostly don't go to the governments themselves, rather they go to companies headed by well connected individuals who somehow are able to drive policy and decisions either directly or indirectly.
On the flip side of this, you might have competing interests from other nations as well so it may not be as clear cut. It's no longer border expansion, annexation and "this country" vs "that country". Instead now we have nameless rebels or terrorists (depending on who's side their on) who then sign deals and feed money and resources to their "sponsor countries", or get loans for construction, or some other financial games that are far more opaque.
I have no more specific information, this is all broad strokes based on what I've seen and read. Maybe I'm wrong.
1. decreases nations' ability to organize,
2. prevents them from properly utilizing their natural resources,
3. reduces possible competition at the global economic level,
4. increases the the possibility of extracting resources and labor from them due to an increase of various factors like economic desperation and political variability.
It serves fully developed countries' interests better to keep everyone else down so they can be exploited. Negotiating with blocs rather than newly instated and flexible rulers annoying and difficult.
If anything I'm being more fair than they would be.
I'm honestly wondering if this would make me lazy for reading non explicitly partway bolded text.
What's disgusting is when you solve the coding test with flying colors but the interviewer pulls the "candidate doesn't seem interested about X company" and still fails you. That should be illegal if the session you're in is called a Technical Screen.
You seem intelligent - It looks like you've figured out how to compensate for the less than optimal hand that you were dealt. It's up to everyone else to figure it out as well. I have little sympathy for anyone who can't and I'd expect the same for anyone's opinion of my situation if something horrible and unforeseen were to happen to me.
