It took the Ukraine war to show how broken the U.S. war machine really is.

The Ukraine War has exposed a lot when it comes to the North Atlantic Treaty Organization — otherwise known as NATO.

For the last two decades, the U.S. military has been heavily invested in Africa — in training, weapons sharing, and basing — per its "war on terrorism."
