Wagner Head Taunts U.S. Over Niger Talks
Newsweek ^ | Aug 8, 2023 | Jon Jackson

Posted on 08/08/2023 5:41:39 PM PDT by McGruff

Wagner Group leader Yevgeny Prigozhin on Tuesday mocked the United States after a senior U.S. diplomat met with members of the military junta in Niger.

"The U.S. is trying to keep the Wagner group out of Niger," Prigozhin said in a message posted on Telegram, according to translations in Russian media. "'Heavy artillery' is being brought in for this. Acting Deputy Secretary of State Victoria Nuland is in a country that defeated colonialism under Russian flags."

Prigozhin directly referenced Nuland's quote about the "risks to their sovereignty" in relation to Wagner and praised his fighters.

"I am proud of the boys from Wagner. Just the thought of them makes ISIS and Al-Qaeda small, obedient, silky boys," the mercenary boss said. "And the U.S. has recognized a government that it did not recognize yesterday just to avoid meeting the Wagner PMC [Private Military Company] in the country."

Victoria Nuland is the "Heavy artillery" he's talking about?

Compared to Plugs, his hyena and Blinken, Nuland is smarter than them all (but extremely evil).

If Wagner drops a 155mm on Nuland I’ll give them a pass.

She is heavy artillery. She is every bit as dangerous as Soros or Hitlary. She has been much more of a problem for America and the world than Putin ever came close to being.

In a statement today the US State Dept. called Wagner a ‘transnational criminal group’.

That sounds like projection to me...

“Niger is a French problem.”

>>>>>>>>>>

And what about the HUGE US air base in Niger? There are 1100 Amercian troops there. Is that also France’s problem?

Thus in reality it’s an American and French problem.

“Thus in reality it’s an American and French problem.”

It’s an airbase. Pack up everything that’s not nailed down and fly away.
Problem solved.

The US shouldn’t be complicit in Frances exploitation of Nigers natural resources and people.

Italian PM Meloni calls out the dirt bag Macron and the French for exploiting child labor in Niger at the 2:01 minute mark.

The entire speech is worth hearing, she exposes him for the sick globalist that he is.
