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.
The USA has uranium deposits. We don’t need bases in Niger to get it. As recently as 1985, the USA mined 40 million lbs/year of the stuff
Now we mine and process basically zero. The USA built one new nuclear power plant in the last 15 years, which was 3X over-budget. Our betters in DC tell us all our electricity will now come from clean wind and energy, remember?
Besides the biggest uranium reserves in the world are in the Athabasca Basin in Saskatchewan, Canada.
We’re getting zer0, Part II.
Time is now to bury a MK53 from the stockpile under the runways there remote controlled. Once the bae begins actions against US forces, detonate it.
We don’t need any.
Others do....................
There’s always a justification....
Enjoy the woke DC deep-state empire and everything that comes with it.
Hard to understand why in a former French colony where the French continue to have significant commercial involvement, the US finds it incumbent to begin yet another foreign entanglement. Just how long will America’s lenders continue to finance this insanity?
Thank you for that information. So we don’t need Niger’s uranium.
Not much longer.
Treasury Bills are getting harder to sell every month..............
Is Niger currently holding 1,000 US Soldier? Since when? Source?
“..We don’t need any.
Others do........”
Which is EXACTLY why the Russians are gonna take the place over.
They must be running low on all the stuff the PIAPS sold em....
We love him.....................
We need lots more like him!
Its all part of the Plan to discredit and destroy the US.
“US troops are trapped in the country allegedly without water and medicine”.
WTH???
The MSM has kept it secret for over a month...............
So, what? The US is going to get our people killed over who runs flipping NIGER?
Victoria Nuland has already been over there. How about we trade her for the hostages and call it a day?
“At least five leaders of the July 2023 coup in Niger received American assistance, according to a U.S. official. The coup leaders, in turn, appointed five U.S.-trained members of the Nigerien security forces to serve as that country’s governors.”
Assuming we do, the first thing he'd better do is get the hell out of Africa and stay the hell out.
