Large demonstrations are taking place outside a French military base in Niger’s capital, Niamey, as pressure mounts on France’s ambassador and soldiers to leave the country. Niger’s
military government, which seized power on July 26, has accused French President Emmanuel Macron of using divisive rhetoric in his comments about the coup and seeking to perpetrate France’s neocolonial relationship with its former colony. Sylvain Itte, France’s ambassador, remained in Niger despite a 48-hour deadline to leave the country more than a week ago, a decision Macron said he “applauds”.

Vladimir Putin can call up all the troops he wants, but Russia has no way of getting those new troops the training and weapons they need to fight in Ukraine any time soon. With
his invasion of Ukraine faltering badly, the Russian President on Wednesday announced the immediate “partial mobilization” of Russian citizens. Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu said on Russian television that the country will call up 300,000 reservists. If they end up facing Ukrainian guns on the front lines, they are likely to become the newest casualties in the invasion Putin started more than seven months ago and that...

The A-10 will continue to fly in support of America’s ground forces, thanks to the quick passing of the 2020 National Defense Authorization Act. The aircraft, which has not been manufactured since the early 1980s, is useful to the U.S. but is showing its age. Just
two years ago, nearly half of the A-10 fleet was grounded. The spending plan will include money for new wings, as well as other upgrades. “The A-10 Warthog has immeasurable value to our U.S. troops on the ground and plays a critical role in our military strategy in the Middle East and around the...

American political history was turned upside down in 2016; since his election there is only pre Donald Trump and Donald Trump. On Tuesday regardless of the names on the ballots, every race will be Donald Trump against the Democrat. Trump is the candidate in every race whether the people on the ballot
acknowledge that or not; and this is a referendum on his performance thus far. The numbers from a new Zogby’s survey show, given the overwhelming good economic news he has produced, this is good news for Republicans and bad news for Democrats. Combined with a new Rasmussen survey...

Since 9-11, and the beginning of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, there has been an out-pouring, almost a hemorrhaging of support for the troops. From
yellow ribbon and American flag car magnets to endless media coverage of the military; the public it seems, is in love with the troops. There are endless tributes to the military at sporting events and the term, “thank you for your service†has become as common as “Merry Christmas.†But, is the public really in love with the military? Do they really support the troops? Do they even care? Is saying thank you for...
