Some how the “Hey, Pancho. Hey Crisco!” line is going through my head.

That would be HILARIOUS!! Nuland is a LEFTIST COMMUNIST....married to Robert Kagan, a NEOCONSERVATIVE!!
NEOCONSERVATIVE is a Jewish person who is too ashamed to be called a DEMOCRAT, but do all DEMOCRAT THINGS!
Is Nuland Jewish?

Niger has always been the key to controlling the West - the Greeks knew it, the Persians knew it, the Romans knew it....and now you know it.

And we’re thinking that administrations throw money down the toilet. And any more money going over there is just throwing good money after bad. Let them go, we don’t need them, let them be a burden on other governments.

Let them have Niger. The average IQ is right around 62. I see the same 60+ year deep-state pattern developing. They'll have a war that country, and soon, we will be flooded with its "migrants."

Sitting in my Barracks room back in 76 or 77 looking at the Scirocco Wolfsburg Edition pamphlet from the Volkswagen dealer and wishing I had one. That car really had some nice features but I never got one.

Agree! If that happens look for the Congressional Black Caucus, the media and the “Beautiful People of Hollyweird” to demand US intervention! Which means everything from troops on the ground to accepting refugees.

I am sure this coup was on Xi’s shopping list to Putin when they talked last year. China exacts a cost from everyone they “negotiate” with.
Africa is already lost.

True enough. Just wait til China steps in.
In any case, Africa always wins.

Slipping away from the ChiComs is my guess.
Especially if the ComPost is having a cow.

Africa was never “won”.
If Africa thinks the colonialists are a huge problem, just wait til the colonialists actually leave.
