Obama fails again
GloboHomos Go Home!
Nope, Nigerians have gotten smarter than that.
They know having "Benevolent" America "Behind" you is suicide.
Chalk this latest fiasco up as another instance where U.S. meddling turns into a costly and embarrassing debacle. Note we spent U.S. dollars to train Nigerian troops who then used this skill to overthrow the existing government.
They do, it’s more economic though. Last summer in Moscow Putin had a big African shindig. I posted a few articles about it and was soundly ridiculed by FR Biden Regime dullards. You should check out the results of that African/Russian summit. Putin made out like a bandit. You’re seeing the results everyday in Africa now. The Frenchies have been given the bum’s rush right off the continent since. We’re getting the same treatment.
Uncle Stupid pees away another $280 million of borrowed money to push DEI on the Third World.
They are probably holding out for $150 million. Since it is Niger, there is a good possibility that another junta will displace this one. Then, another junta will overthrow that one, and so on.
If we leave, we should level it and make it unusable. Knowing the Biden team, they’ll leave the hardware.
EO 13848 much?

That is because Uncle Sugar sees us as an ATM. They lose a few hundred million, shrug it off, then propose more taxes for us.
What does OFAC have to do with this thread?
The U.S. air base in Niger was first established in 2016, and continued to get built up all through the Trump administration. Trump could have killed it; he didn’t.
Sometimes I think Trump does not fully comprehend what “draining the swamp” ought to mean. It has to mean questioning every single program being run by every single federal agency, and making a budget that defunds billions in appropriations and thousands of operations throughout the federal government.
Agreed wholeheartedly. His hubris at the "fundamental transformation" is evident in so much, as so much of the "transformation" is failing in multiple areas.
Fair point—you can’t drain the swamp if you delegate the task to Swamp Creatures.
Educate yourself, I said.
I know what OFAC is.
What I do not know is how it relates to this thread.
If you want to share that information please feel free to do so.
Let’s get out and stay out with the stipulation if an African nation allies with us and any issues arise for that nation with Niger we will attack Niger without prejudice.
US needs to re-assert “Big Stick” approach.
How much equipment will we get to leave behind and how many ‘translators’ will we now gain?
“Educate yourself, I said.”
This often translates to “I’m not even going to bother making an argument, much less explain why the thing I mentioned is even relevant to the matter at hand.”
Do we get to air-drop rainbow flags on them?
