Former NATO Commander Warns of 'Devastating' Full-Blown War in Africa
Newsweak via MSN ^ | 8/6/23 | Anna Commander

Former NATO Supreme Allied Commander Europe James Stavridis warned on Sunday that the conflict in Niger amid a looming deadline for coup leaders to cede power could potentially lead to a "full-blown war in Africa."

The Sunday deadline established by a coalition of West African nations for Niger to return to democratic rule is set to expire. The demand has been shunned by fellow military-led countries Burkina Faso and Mali, who have jointly warned that any intervention would amount to a declaration of war.

I know the globalists want to reduce the population of Africans.

This is a French problem. Let Macron and his grandmother wife deal with it.

And what would be wrong with that?

Why should we get involved or even care?

My military age son started asking questions, and then I started to wonder myself:

Name 1 country that we have spilt our blood to defend that hasn’t hated us in return?

Indeed, it seems like the more boys we send to die for a nation, the more that nation comes to despise us.

That being the case, isn’t it time to bring our boys home?

Niger has nothing to do with nato and nothing to do with the United States.

Zero. We have zero reasons to stick US interests into Niger.

Reduce the population of Africans by resettling them in your neighborhood.

At this point, I wonder if we really need to continue to stick with NATO.

France is using NATO to enforce their colonial relationship with Niger which contains significant resources in Uranium and Gold. We should not help France with this.

If Africans want to kill themselves then so be it. Bring most of our troops out of that hellhole.

Odd, a former French colony have problems. Almost, like that has happened before.

Kinda looks planned.

The entire Sahel region is rejecting the West. Let them go.

“This is a French problem.”

>>>>>>>

No. it’s also a problem for America.
France have 1500 troops there.
America has 1100 troops and a HUGE air base there, constructed by Trump !
So how would this be only France’s problem??

How does the Niger crisis impact US security?

Luckily Tommy Turbeville has prevented us from having military leadership in place. Was he even a good football coach. Dumber than doghsit if I remember correctly.
