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.
Doesnt that base have top of the line drone manufacturing factory there? Thought I saw it on a thread over the weekend. Oh by the wat Chad is now insisting we leave their country too.
I agree. we’re on the same page. I also don’t let it stress me as much as possible. I am staying away from the news and look at alternative media for info. but don’t dwell on it. I am now even staying away from FR more than I used to because everything is bad news and overwhelming. It is not healthy.
A friend of mine who is also 73 tells his friends to hunker down into survival mode.
How is it possible that the Biden regime could be so inept?”
Do they really need to ask.
How long have 1000 US soldiers been held hostage or as prisoner by Russia backed junta? It certainly hasn’t gotten any coverage— and 1000 is a whole hell of a lot of our soldiers— possibly many from Green Berets special forces.
this a@@ joe poopy pants does not give a damn about US living soldiers, never mind the buried ones.
btt
The Founding Fathers left a clear record on what to do when tyranny, such as exists today, needs to be removed!
Niger is a major source of uranium.
... Pakistan’s disgraced nuclear proliferator-hero Abdul Qadeer Khan traversed the breadth of Africa in his hey day as a nuclear salesman , going to as romantic a getaway as Casablanca in Morocco and as remote an outpost as Timbuktu in Mali. US officials might dearly like to get hold of Khan’s travel agent, or simply his itinerary, since he seems to have pretty much charted his own course during his profligate proliferating days.
According to accounts now surfacing in the Pakistani media, among Khan’s most interesting destinations were Niger and Sudan, two African countries that have been on the US radar for years for different reasons....
Sure but uranium is not particularly rare. We have plenty of it in the US.
Our current regime has tried to bully them and force the homo agenda on them.
Just one of the things that turn some countries against us.
Niger’s CIA airbase, not the base in question, is an important route of cocaine between South America in Europe.
Giustra, one of the biggest donors to the Clinton Foundation, is also no stranger to controversy. In 2005, he and President Clinton traveled together to Kazakhstan to meet with the former Soviet republic’s authoritarian leader. Days after that meeting, Giustra acquired uranium assets in three of the country’s state-run mines...
