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.

Traitor Joe strikes again. I’ll bet if Hunter was being held captive by them Joe would turn the world upside down to get them out.

Biden gives us Afghanistan II

My thought as well. Niger's junta gets all their weapons. The men themselves may never be heard from again, just like the Oct.7 hostages that are (were?) US citizens. They unfortunately are inconvenient and embarrassing to the Biden regime.

And they wonder why our armed forces can't even come close to their enlistment goals...

Russia just delivered some anti-aircraft batteries to Niger. Niger wants the US and France out. Many African countries are cozying up to Russia and China and want the US and Western countries out.

Is he possessed by dementia or by demons?

Well, Tell It Right, Putin does want Alaska, Hawahii, and California, it seems. He appears to be ready to ‘rescind’ the Alaska purchase agreement with the US (Seward’s Folly), and may be willing to refund the $7.2 million or so that was paid. CA and HI? He just wants them for logistical purposes.

French mines in Niger are where the uranium for France’s power plants comes from.

Okay makes sense, so why is it a US problem? Uranium is useless in the US since we can't build any plants anyway. Why is everything a US problem?

If we ask Russia real nice, they might help them evacuate.
In exchange for our spy drone airfield.
Wagner is providing regime security.

Russia has plenty of its own uranium.

But impeding French access to Nigerien uranium…seems like something Putin would enjoy.

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

Especially one who has been wrong on every foreign policy position since entering Congress

Funny joke during the cold war, "Whoever wins Africa looses the war".

America has no need or want for African resources, we only need their refugees for the next election.

Most Russians in Oregon broke with the Russian Orthodox church over a few differences. They are still Russian Orthodox Christians who left because of persecution and first went to China and then went to Brazil. From there, they came to Oregon. Many are farmers and started growing blackberries, etc. They also do a lot of fishing in Alaska and some have moved there. They are hard working and very intelligent. Many are my friends. They liked to pay with berries and halibut. Very good halibut. They are Trump voters too. The rest in Oregon are Ukrainians. They are mostly born again Christians and are also Trump supporters.

I was going to add to my post:

Elected, selected, anointed, conscripted, absconded...
But, I figured that was understood.

Niger has a productive uranium mine. There are many natural resources in Africa we are interested in exploiting.

I understand the US base in Niger is “state-of-the-art” and cost the US taxpayers many millions of dollars. It will be a major coup when the US leaves and Russia takes control.
