    Argentina will become to South America what Israel is to the Middle East, Ukraine to Europe, and Taiwan to Asia.

    Imperialism has constructed a nation as base of operations in each of these regions. One for each region of strategic command operations:

    Southcom - Argentina

    Centcom - Israel

    Eucom - Ukraine

    Indopacom - Taiwan/SK but I think Japan will replace them

    Northcom - USA

    Africom - ? this is the only missing one

        Yes but I see these more as hands. Each operational command nation is a limb extending down to hands via the comprador govs and then to fingers which are the teams/squads operating within various countries. If the limb is cut off then the hands and fingers will die too.

            It’s much much easier to visualise organisational structures as a physical human body for w/e reason

            I also like the fact that this body has to be grotesque with half a dozen limbs and dozens of hands and fingers

      Africom - ? this is the only missing one

      It’s Kenya, Uganda, and/or Rwanda IMHO.

      It can’t be an African country that’s part of Francafrique, and North Africa is usually lumped in together with West Asia. South Africa and Ethiopia are part of BRICS, so they’re out. The DRC is a country imperialists are plundering for its rich resources, so it’s not a base of operations either. A few African countries like Somalia (?) are under the umbrella of UAE subimperialism, so they aren’t good candidates either. Nigeria is a bit too big to fully control, and it borders Francafrique and the AES.

      Meanwhile, Kenya, Uganda, and Rwanda are all former Anglo colonies, they border/are close to the DRC, and they are all very friendly with the US. This map says a lot.
