US Troops Expelled from Niger

[yoni]

In meetings over the week end between a stupid person from State, the general from the army and the key people in Niger, the bitch from State did nothing but insult and talk down to the government of Niger.

So the government of Niger told the USA to go to hell.

From what I have been told the insults were worse than what Schummer and Brandon have been giving Israel.

I think that the USA will join France as the most hated countries by Africa.

I stand by what I have been saying for a while now, NO American administration has ever done Africa and the Middle East the way it should be done.

This goes back a bit. This decision was not made last week.

Niger, Mali, and BF made a military pact to assume the mission the US had (regardless of whether they were properly trained or equipped) and Niger wanted more from the US and the US wanted conditions (re: uranium and Iran). This has been brewing for a while.

The 3rd SFG guys have been saying that relations have been souring for a while.

I agree, most of Africa hates the US (and France, and England, and Belgium, and Spain, and Portugal). But of all these countries, only three are in any position of influence (US, France, and England), so even with leaving Mali, the US will still have presence on the continent, and even the countries that hate us will be happy to take our $.

If I was to wager a guess, I would think it was the Chinese who had the biggest interest in the area because of the mineral mining? They are all up in Africa's shit the last few years.

This could be another "Russia! Russia! Russia!" scream-fest publicly but since a great deal of D.C. is paid off by the Chicoms it makes sense why they'd run interference for them.


ETA-just read 1168's posts and maybe it's the Rooskies too? I hate to see it as a "Chinaman behind every tree" but they have their hands all over Africa.

From what little I've read, the underlying issue is that late last year the Biden administration formally declared the military takeover in Niger was a coup which restricts US military assistance. Russia can provide weapons and equipment without self-imposed restrictions and lecturing Niger on human rights, international law... blah blah blah... that came to a head the other day.

Nigerian military spokesman summed it up Saturday: "Russia is a partner with which Niger deals on a state-to-state basis, in accordance with military cooperation agreements signed with the previous government, to acquire military equipment necessary to its fight against the terrorists who have claimed thousands of innocent Nigerian victims under the indifferent eye of much of the international community."

Russia was involved in the coup. Russia was also already the primary arms supplier. I’ve got pictures to demonstrate that, if you like. Also, Nigeria is a different country from Niger.

I don't care if Niger does not want our money any more, the crux is that Niger is not afraid of us either !

Interesting.

I have to SMH when I hear about Russian "counter-terrorism" assistance. Those bastards don't give a damn about helping eradicate "terrorism", unless it's stuff being sent to groups inside Russia that their .gov doesn't like. I guess everybody looks after their own ass first.

Its the same game the US plays at "counter-terrorism". Its all part of the global chessboard and control of natural resources. We are about to see the complete collapse of the EU as a global power. German industry is collapsing from high energy costs, while France is not reliant on natural gas but on nuclear power. Cheap uranium comes from two places, Russia and Africa. France will soon feel the squeeze Germany is currently feeling and will be forced to buy US uranium at 5x the cost(who actually gets it from Canada). Make no mistake, the European powers will be sacrificial lambs between the Great Power games being played between the US and Russia/China.

Russia is not immune from Islam terror functions, so they do have a stake in a CT mission. But that is value-added to Russia's money and geopolitical posturing.

Don't forget all the terrs the KGB sponsored in the late-stage Cold War. To them it's "terorism done by our buddies to others good, terrorism by NOT our buddies against us bad." If it wasn't for double standards they'd have NO standards...
