Another Joe Biden foreign policy disaster is in the works.
Joe Biden already turned over the Bagram Airbase in Afghanistan to Taliban terrorists in September 2021.
Biden abandoned Afghanistan’s Bagram Airfield after nearly 20 years in July by shutting off the electricity and slipping away in the night without notifying the base’s Afghan commander, who discovered the Americans’ secret departure more than two hours after they left.
The Taliban quickly took control of Bagram Air Base, which is only 30 miles north of Kabul, on August 15th and released thousands of terrorists held at its prison. The Americans and Afghans left the Taliban military equipment, uniforms, rations and even sports drinks.
The ISIS suicide bomber who murdered 13 US servicemen and women and 169 Afghans was released by the Taliban from the Bagram Base prison in July.
ISIS suicide bomber Abdul Rehman was incarcerated at the Bagram prison for the past four years until he was set free by the Taliban terrorists.
Abdul Rehman then murdered 13 Americans and 173 Afghans in a suicide bombing outside the Kabul Airport.
Last week we learned about Joe Biden’s latest foreign policy disaster. The situation in Niger could top the Afghanistan withdrawal – if that is possible.
Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) totally embarrassed the US Army Secretary and exposed Joe Biden’s latest foreign policy catastrophe during questioning this week in the US House of Representatives’ Armed Services Committee hearing.
Gaetz exposed the latest Biden foreign policy failure – this time in Niger, Africa.
US troops are trapped in the country allegedly without water and medicine. The Army was likely hiding this to protect itself from embarrassment. Deployed Americans are in limbo and unable to do their jobs and the Biden State Department is completely outmaneuvered once again.
Secretary Wormuth and General Randy George testified before the House Armed Services Committee on April 16th.
Matt Gaetz posted the report on his congressional webpage.
US Army Secretary Christine Wormuth, a potential DEI hire, was stunned and speechless when Matt Gaetz confronted her about the trapped US soldiers in Niger a country in tremendous turmoil.
It now appears the US has a trade offer from the military junta in Niger. The Russian-backed military junta in Niger will release the 1,000 US soldiers trapped at the base in exchange for the keys to the $100 million American airbase in the country.
How is it possible that the Biden regime could be so inept?
How is it possible that the US military could be so incompetent?
The US military will leave a $100 million airbase to the military junta.
Aljazeera reported:
In March the country suspended its military agreement with the US. The US military had some 650 personnel working in Niger in December, according to a White House report to Congress. The US military operates a major airbase in the Niger city of Agadez, some 920km (572 miles) from Niamey, using it for manned and unmanned surveillance flights and other operations.
A drone base known as Air Base 201 near Agadez was also built at a cost of more than $100m. Since 2018 the base has been used to target ISIL (ISIS) fighters and Jama’at Nusrat al-Islam wal Muslimeen (JNIM), an al-Qaeda affiliate, in the Sahel region.
There was another anti-American protest in Agadez earlier today.
They did it! The Biden regime capitulated! The US is out!
The Agadez airbase will be evacuated and left available to the Russia-backed military junta!
The Independent.ng reported:
Washington says it has firmed up plans with the West African nation’s military rulers to withdraw its more than 1,000 troops.
The US has also agreed to close down its big drone base near the city of Agadez in the Sahara desert.
Niger is in Africa’s Sahel region, which is considered the new global epicentre of the Islamic State group.
The US has relied on Niger as its primary base for monitoring regional jihadist activity.
An American delegation is to head within days to Niger’s capital, Niamey, to arrange an orderly withdrawal.
Another Obama Legacy
For sure.
Assuming we get a conservative president, we will be decades recovering from Biden. If we don’t, we’re going to be Cuba and eating our pets.
Set charges to continually release into the facility GnRH drugs (used for chemical castration) after the U.S. military leaves.
If the moronic American public is unaware, then there are no Biden disasters.
bradon runs up the white flag of surrender again
A 100 million here, a hundred 100 million there pretty soon we are talking about real money.
The only way to reverse the decline in this country is to have a generation of good conservative leaders, which I am not hopeful will happen.
More bullish**. Another fake threat
Worried about illiterate goat herders in the Sahara attacking the USA? How about simply controlling US borders instead?
“Niger will release the 1,000 US soldiers trapped at the base”
What!
Why the eff is there a $100 million US Airbase in frikkin’ Niger where we have almost no real national interest?
Insane.
Let’s go, Brandon!
Its bad enough we allowed this situation to develop but we need to get the troops out and then carpet bomb that base to oblivion. Tell Niger this is what happens when you think you can play poker with the big dog.
The “scandal-free” Obama Admin?
Two words:
Yellow Cake.......................
They have been trapped at the base for over a month by the military junta that took over the country.
No supplies, no medicines, no nothing..................
Niger uranium deposits
Niger has significant uranium deposits, making it one of the world’s largest uranium producers. The country’s uranium mines are mainly located in the northern Arlit region. The largest uranium deposits are found in the following mines:
SOMAÏR (Société des Mines de l’Aïr) - This mine, located near the city of Arlit, is operated by a joint venture between Orano (63.4%) and Sopamin (36.66%). It is an open-pit horizontal sedimentary deposit, 165-230 feet deep, with a production capacity of 2,000 to 2,500 tons of uranium per year.
COMINAK (Compagnie Minière d’Akouta) - This mine, also located near Arlit, was operated by a joint venture between Orano (34%), Sopamin (31%), and other partners. It produced 75,000 tonnes of uranium from 1978 to 2021 but has since been closed.
Imouraren mine
This is a uranium mining project involving French company Orano and SOPaMin (Société du Patrimoine des Mines du Niger on behalf of the government of Niger). An operating permit was issued in 2009, and excavations began in 2012. However, the project was suspended in 2015 due to low uranium prices in the wake of the Fukushima nuclear disaster.
Niger’s uranium production accounts for 4% of the global production, with the largest producers being Kazakhstan, Canada, Namibia, and Australia. Despite the country’s vast uranium reserves, the people of Niger have faced chronic hunger and malnutrition, highlighting the challenges of equitably distributing the benefits of natural resources.
This must be why the deep state is trotting out the Gaetz underage sex fable again.
Biden has cemented himself as the worst leader this country has even seen. Notice I didn't say president. He's basically become the equivalent of the Judean King Manasseh.
2 Kings 21:16, "Moreover Manasseh shed innocent blood very much, till he had filled Jerusalem from one end to another;
This is supposed leader of the free world. He's disgusting.
He’s my Congresscritter.
We love him.....................
