A military coup ousts a democratically elected government and you ‘love it’?

What the hell is wrong with you and why do you fawn over authoritarianism?

Most of these "democratically elected governments" are the results of election fraud, at the direction of the globalist communist cabal.

The people of Niger support the coup and their military.

Algeria has applied for BRICS membership. You really think their current actions are not predicated on pleasing the Russians?

After the coup d’état in Niger and the removal of the French puppet from the presidential position, the West African organization ECOWAS, which is under the full control of the United States and France, announced that it would attack Niger.

Yesterday, Mali, Burkina Faso and Guinea jointly declared that the attack on Niger is an attack on all of them and that they will intervene militarily.

But the most interesting part is Algeria’s statement that it will also intervene militarily if Niger is attacked. Today the Chief of Staff of the Algerian Army arrived in Moscow for a meeting with Shoigu. Algeria is likely to receive heavy weapons from Russia and Iran through its ports.

Word is that both Algeria and Saudi Arabia will join Brics later this month.

It is an organization pretty dedicated to multi polarity and dedollarization.

Goodbye petrodollar.

Yeah. We are so badly shooting ourselves in both feet.

Just like the rest of the west.

Did you watch a BLM protest and presume that represents majority opinion in this country?

Would you disagree with someone who asserted the existence of those protests and the relative lack of counter protests fairly demonstrate the opinion of the electorate in this country?

If you don’t realize protestors in the third poorest country on the planet possessing Russian flags isn’t a sign of paid influence, I have no hope of reaching you in this conversation.

Russia just working to establish its own empire in Central Africa—let hope they treat the people better than France. Once Germany had an African Empire and were harsh but fare with the population. England was amazed that the Black population fought for the Kaiser so well against the Brits in WW I—better than the Black population in English colonies. Treat people right and earn their respect, a rule England and France never understood.

This may be too little too late. I am already seeing French Air Force flights between Marseille and Niamey.

The FFL is headquartered in southern France and Marseille would be a logical jumping off point to insert Legion troops.

” last week Russia was lauded for leading the anti imperialist movement among African nations.”

You like the imperialists? Frankly, I’d had enough of them by the time we told the British imperialists to bugger off.

That could set up a battle between the FFL and the RFL, Wagner PMC.

Niger did cut off the gold and uranium. That is stimulus enough to get a reaction.

Saw a second French military flight come out of Marseille but it aborted over the Med and returned. Looks like the total flight is only 5-6 hrs.

This bears watching. If Wagner and the Legion mix it up then the situation in Ukraine may get worse if that is possible.

I read the statement, it resembled a cow patty, and was as substantive.

Wagner has been busy alienating the populations of both Mail and Burkina Faso. They aren’t just brutal, but stupidly so. They are alienating the local populations so that JNIM is seen as the preferred alternative to non-Islamist dictatorships.

What I read is that France, Italy, and Germany were all evacuating their people.

The Germans were to ride with the French.

We have about 1000 troops there.

That French military jet may have been used on the return for evac as its now back on the radar bound for Paris rather than Marseille
