ECOWAS Bank accounts frozen by Western World and America; ECOWAS is under enormous pressure to take military action in Niger

I was sent this video regarding banks freezing the accounts of ECOWAS to force them to take military action against Niger. The Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS; also known as CEDEAO in French and Portuguese) is a regional political and economic union of fifteen countries located in West Africa.

Considered one of the pillar regional blocs of the continent-wide African Economic Community (AEC), the stated goal of ECOWAS is to achieve "collective self-sufficiency" for its member states by creating a single large trade bloc by building a full economic and trading union.

ECOWAS also serves as a peacekeeping force in the region, with member states occasionally sending joint military forces to intervene in the bloc's member countries at times of political instability and unrest.

You can’t discount that it’s deliberate, think about it, what do the people in East Palestine and Maui have in common, both are middle class people struggling to survive, who would be hurt the most if the US dollar was no longer the World’s reserve currency ??

Everyone but the really wealthy and powerfully connected politicians, who can move their money into other assets while the rest of us are stuck eating bugs to survive.

ECOWAS is led by Nigeria, the most populous nation and the economically most viable in the region. They also produce lots of oil. Nigeria has been talking about joining BRICS anyway. If you want to push Nigeria into Chinese and Russian hands, this sort of overreach, if true, will do that. Most African countries are net exporters of commodities. Nigeria, unlike Niger or Burkina Faso, controls a large portion of the energy revenue by partially nationalizing British and American oil companies in the 1970s. Nigeria could abrogate their agreements with Shell, ExxonMobil, etc., and sell the oil directly to Red China. The Chinese are already investing $15 billion into the Nigerian energy sector.

The Chinese have already cut deals with Guinea, a West African coastal nation, to purchase the latter country's bauxite and iron ore. Pushing Nigeria and ECOWAS too hard will result in expanding Chinese and Russian influence beyond the three largely desert countries of Niger, Burkina Faso, and Mali into the more populous and prosperous countries like Nigeria, Ivory Coast, and Ghana. In 2030, we may asking, who lost West Africa?

I think it’s absolutely deliberate.

Globalists are far worse an entity than Russia v Ukraine, or Niger, or whatever 3rd world toilet.

The most powerful people ever are insane tyrants.

My thought would be the kidnapper tells the victim to keep quiet about the kidnapping. Probably a carrot and stick too. We will take this until you act and give you multiple billions when you do. The US coups are democratic like Ukraine and the color revolution we are trying to foment in Hungary. Other coups are just coups.

Not just marks - she was just there in person.

Her POC told the toxic sow, literally, to go home and lose weight, and that the former PM would be immediately executed if she tried anything.

Speaking of insane tyrants, what are the odds that Biden will declare a climate emergency while on Maui tomorrow?

I am thinking pretty good odds.

I have to say that BRICS is looking good now.

Weaponizing the Dollar was a bad idea.

When you dig around on African social media content you can see that they know they're being exploited, due to having the same problems that we do with reprobate leaders. It's always the same story no matter where you go.
