We build a 110 million dollar drone base inside Niger. Are we flying still?

Does Niger have the slightest SAM, AAA or Air Defense capability? I cannot imagine that they do.

You could put 20,000 white men and women in Niger, assuming if the country was empty of Africans. Within a decade, it’ll be the wealthiest and safest nation in Africa.

Niger is an immense piece of real estate which is largely an uninhabitable lunar landscape, and suitable only for oil, gas, and mineral exploration. No sane person would want to live there as it is amongst the most inhospitable land on the planet, save the little green sliver in the southwest which hosts the capital Niamey where installed juntas backed by various nation-states ‘administer’ the country and natural resources.

Wonder if Macron will invade Niger now.
