MIKE BENZ: HOW U.S. DEFEATS CHINA IN AFRICA

How far is the United States willing to go to block African collaboration with China? 

In this video clip, former US State Department official Mike Benz (@MikeBenzCyber on X) revealed a destabilisation training initially published by the US 1st Special Forces Command (Airborne), a military contingent specialising in ‘irregular warfare’ using an ‘indigenous approach.' The document, titled, ‘A Vision for 2021 and Beyond,’ uses an example of a made-up West African country that they call 'Naruvu' to demonstrate how the US military, US State Department, intelligence forces, and US Agency for International Development (USAID) could collaborate to sabotage an African state that is cooperating ‘too much’ with China.

Many have been confused by the Trump administration's recent decision to shut down USAID, an agency that has claimed to advance US foreign-policy interests and 'open markets' for US companies. US Senator Chris Murphy recently admitted on CNN, ‘USAID chases China all over the world, making sure China doesn't monopolise contracts for critical minerals and port infrastructure all around the world.’
