IMHO, the biggest loss will be the Drone Base we maintain in Niger.
Good
why do we 1000 troops in Niger? Being the world’s policeman is insane. We can not afford it.
Al Qaeda and ISIS have big presences in Niger. That’s why the US military have been there.
Getting kicked out of Chad too!

They will probably be heading to Ukraine.
Niger doesn’t like GloboHomo. Russia will fill the void.
Chad another African nation wants a US air base gone.
Correct me if I’m wrong, but I thought the US had a major, state-of-the-art base in Niger with first class equipment, much like Bagram Air Base in Afghanistan was - big bucks invested there.
If so, would we be leaving it all for Russia when we pull out??
a la Afghanistan???
is it safe to use that word?
“Hundreds took to the streets of Niger’s capital last week to demand the departure of U.S. troops after the ruling junta further shifted its strategy by ending the military accord with the United States and welcoming Russian military instructors.”
The US is getting kicked out.
And they’ll slaughter the rest of the Christians. Not that we should stay either, but I wish US would give the right people refugee status instead of those who who wish to kill us.
probably good.
we can’t afford to police world.
at least it keeps the french from stealing their uranium at 10 cents on the dollar.
