Nightmare in Niger — Exclusive: Biden Administration Leaves Hundreds of U.S. Troops as ‘Hostages’ in Niger
Breitbart ^ | 4/18/2024 | Kristina Wong

Posted on 04/18/2024 12:57:49 PM PDT by Tell It Right

Hundreds of U.S. troops are effectively being held as “hostages” in Niger with medical supplies running low — stuck between the military junta-controlled government’s demands for them to leave and the Biden administration’s refusal to let them go home after the end of their deployments, according to a report prepared by Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) and obtained exclusively by Breitbart News.

Basically, Biden won't let them come home, but won't let them be supplied either.

Xi is a wise investor.

If the host country doesn’t want them there, we have no (legitimate) business being there.

When you elect a President with dementia, don’t expect rational policy for any issue or situation.

I wonder what they saw or were ordered to do that the BiteMe admin doesn’t want them to return to the states?

It's still a good decision if you need someone else to pay for your gender reassignment surgery. That can get expensive.

Russia’s mercenary group, the Wagner Group, helped overthrow Niger’s government and replaced it with a military dictatorship ...
Apparently the aim was to get control of the uranium and thus a lock on France’s energy supply. French mines in Niger are where the uranium for France’s power plants comes from.

I am sure some of Putin’s useful idiots will be along shortly to tell us that there is a small community of ethnic Russians living in Niger since the time of the Czars and Putin just had to take over Niger using his mercenaries to protect the ethnic Russians from the dreaded homo Niger neonazis....

Our low testosterone ‘president’ doesn’t GAS about our troops. There should be an operation like ASAP to secure our soldiers and send everyone trying to stop us on for a very long dirt nap. Shuffles is probably worried about ‘optics’ or some bullshit. This CIC time you dumb bastard, order this to get fixed like NOW.

Tell that to the US service men and women in Syria. We are their to fight ISIS—Like we are in Niger. Times have changed. We went into Syria to support the people fighting to toss out Assad in a Civil War. Russia supported Assad in this Civil War. Well, Assad and the Russians won, but we are still there. Why? Trump ordered the US Troops out—the generals lied to him and didn’t do it. Now we have something like this happening in Africa. When will we ever learn>?

I half expect Putin to say that he has to take over California and Oregon due to all of the “ethnic Russians” who have been living in America since Fort Rus or some such.
