Nigeria has cut its electricity supply to Niger after West African neighbors imposed sanctions on the junta that ousted the country’s elected leader last week, a Niger power company source said on Wednesday.

“Since yesterday, Nigeria has disconnected the high-voltage line transporting electricity to Niger,” a source at Niger’s power company Nigelec told AFP.

Niger depends on Nigeria for 70 percent of its power, buying it from the Nigerian company Mainstream, according to Nigelec, the country’s monopoly supplier.

"So, how many Ukrainians are "warmongering pervert"s, "sicko exhibitionist"s and "globalist oligarchs"?"

Mainly your hero Zelensky and his puppetmasters. Of course, he lied his ass off into getting elected, and now he won't give up the power. Conveniently using the civil war as an excuse to refuse to face the electorate and hold elections.

"Of the over 100,000 plus who have been killed, how many of those fit in those categories?"

The blood is on Zelensky's hands. If every last Ukrainian has to die for him to keep power and all the goodies that come with that, so be it. His begging around the world for nukes and other weapons of mass destruction showed how truly evil and genocidal he is.

"Do you really imagine seeing Jesus on judgement day, and telling him that you should get into heaven because you cheered on the death of men, women, and children to stick it to "globalhomo"? Or that those 100,000+ were neo-Nazis?"

I feel nothing but sympathy for the people this degenerate Zelensky has sacrificed for power. He cares nothing for humanity. Unlike you trolls, who cheer on the deaths of Russians and hope for their extermination. And I'll be more than willing to cite you MeganC's post on that subject.

"You have created such a boogeyman in your mind that you see actual deaths as equivalent to some weird obsession you have with gays under your bed."

I'd be more worried about the pervert in Ottawa and his agenda for your country. Mind your own business and stop butting into American affairs. If Russia irks you so much, head to your nearest international airport, board a flight to Kiev, and join up with the local military to fight for the great globalist cause against Putin.

"You want to equate actual evils to things you have puffed up in your head. The scary thing is, is that I have little doubt that if Russia attacked the US, you would take the Russians side if they came up with some BS about saving you from homosexuals, or protecting Trump, or one other of your bugaboos. You have been manipulated so easily and so completely that I am actually beginning to think that having leftists in charge is the lesser of two evils."

No, sir, I think for myself. You just parrot the globalist media talking points. You also just outed yourself as to what side you're on.

"You might not believe this, but I was actually sympathetic to Russia right up until the beginning of the invasion. I was told by the pro-Russia contingent that Russia wouldn't invade and I believed them. I liked Russia's seemingly pro-Christian and pro-Western civilization stance."

Sure. Until you swallowed the Kool-Aid by the globalists, and now you parrot everything they say.

"When they invaded, all the current Russia defenders, who accused the Biden administration of lying, suddenly went from assuring us that Russia would never invade, to trying to justify it."

First off, what Russia does or doesn't do is NONE OF OUR BUSINESS. As for the present regime in Washington, it ALWAYS lies. Always. Doesn't matter what it's about. They've funneled billions to the oligarchs overseas for kickbacks. Most corrupt regime ever, installed by the same globalist oligarchs fueling the impetus for war over The Ukraine.

"I might be a fool, but I am not a shill for evil."

Au contraire. You are both. And you already stated above your preference for having leftist regimes in charge: Your own words. Leftist regimes are why we are at this ghastly place we find ourselves in today. The very people who reject Christ, reject God. The ultimate Satanists.

"I am not going to pretend that evil is okay to save my self image. Perversion is bad, but murder is worse. I won't sell my soul to Putin so I don't have to admit to a mistake."

There's not a single individual on Free Republic who has "sold their soul to Putin." So this is yet another ignorant comment. Having respect for a leader who is standing firm against globalist evil is no vice.

"I will not sell out my civilization for some brownie points with a bunch of people who think being a good person is being a machoman who kills and blusters to burnish his own ego and feel like a big man."

A ludicrously false description straight from the media globalist talking points half-wit peanut gallery.

"I am a conservative because of principles, not just to be on a sports team and excuse the evils of my own side so that I can feel like a winner."

I have never accused you of being a Conservative (upper or lower case). You put it best yourself: "I am actually beginning to think that having leftists in charge is the lesser of two evils."

--- In this case, unless Nuland shows up with very significantly bigger fistfuls of money than the Russians, I doubt she'll have any effect. “Appearing” doesn't make one a “player”.

Wholly agree. Perhaps, given the massive double standard being played worldwide, "meddling" would be a more appropriatebterm.

It is understandable that nations have interests in what other nations are doing, but when "appearing"" in another nation to affect national outcome of the nation in which one "appears" certainly seems to be meddling.

How to test the notion? Simple 'reversing" any concept with word substitution works nicely.

If Nuland (therefore, Biden, Blinken and Obama) want to "act" in Niger, then Niger can "act" in the US. Small country, so not much of a deal. Applied to China....

While the notion of drawing back our "liberal world order" urge to lead thew world is an alternative, even here on Free Republic the charge of being an isolationist is raised. So "meddling" might be a decent substitute vocabulary. If we meddle, they get to meddle back....

Best wishes

Most of FR is in agreement. You have badly overestimated your view.

The ones who do like Zelensky are usually not Americans.

Like you.

Who cares what you think? You are obviously lost big-time on the Russia Ukraine issues.

Short video for you..
https://thesaker.is/they-tell-you-that-we-are-nazis/

https://thegrayzone.com/2022/03/31/partnering-neo-nazis-ukraine-history/

But why would anyone get the idea today, among Putin’s perhaps exaggerated claim about denazifying the Ukrainian government and forces, that the US and its allies would partner with neo-Nazi elements in Ukraine in order to fight the Russians or bring about regime change in Russia? Because they have.

Even earlier, in 1946, Prados reports, the Soviets had demanded the extradition of Stepan Bandera. But in an operation code-named “Anyface,” US intelligence protected him even though they were in possession of information that potentially implicated him as a war criminal.

https://thegrayzone.com/2022/08/31/jon-stewart-pentagon-ukrainian-nazi-disney/

Defense Department-sponsored “Warrior Games” featured liberal comedian Jon Stewart awarding a member of Ukraine’s neo-Nazi Azov Battalion at Disney World.

https://thegrayzone.com/2022/10/05/azov-neo-nazi-ukrainian-congress/

After meeting with at least 50 members of Congress, soldiers of the neo-Nazi Azov Regiment toured the US to auction off swastika-inspired patches and lobby for an end to restrictions on US arms and training.

https://thegrayzone.com/2022/03/04/nazis-ukrainian-war-russia/

While Western media deploys Volodymyr Zelensky’s Jewish heritage to refute accusations of Nazi influence in Ukraine, the president has ceded to neo-Nazi forces and now depends on them as front line fighters.

The way we lie.

Thank you. As I told “Dat” in our other active thread, perhaps it’s time he gets off the computer and does something else for his own sanity, like traveling to visit nature. We could all do with that these days. At least Canada has all those lovely parks.
