US leaves Niger

[Harpy Eagle]

US army exits African state

The Pentagon has announced the complete withdrawal of its troops from Niger, after the African nation’s government ordered their exit

www.rt.com

Probably will not see this in the MSM.

Our own hubris is why we were booted out.

When will we ever learn?

 

[TNHarley]

Bout fuckin time

 

[1srelluc]

Good!

Let the Africans do African things to the jihadist militants themselves.

No pesky US ROE to worry about.

Russia has moved in. We need to be concerned.

RT basically says the same thing as the joint statement the Pentagon put out: That "The U.S. Department of Defense and the Ministry of National Defense of Niger have reached a disengagement agreement to effect the withdrawal of U.S. forces."

Joint Statement From the U.S. Department of Defense and the Department of National Defense

Except RT went into more detail about how Nigerien Prime Minister Ali Mahamane Lamine Zeine later said American officials threatened them with sanctions.

It should be more concerning that countries like Niger are welcoming Russia because of our coercion and threats. Those tactics only work when we have the military power and leadership to back them up, which we no longer have. We've just become too fat, lazy, and weak lately.

Russia has moved in. We need to be concerned.

China as well.

Neither Russia nor China comes into a country and tires to tell them how to live and how to Govern their nation.

The US is losing countries like this because we think our shit does not stink and we have the Odin given right to tell them how to live.

Just as well. The nation of Niger as a rather offensive name so I can see why Sleepy Joe is anxious to leave.

I wonder when he'll put us out of Guinea, whose name is offensive to the Italian people.

Doesn’t bother me in the least

True. Their approach is to soothe those countries with the honey and the notion that poor nations would be better off under socialism, and everyone would be well-fed, clothed, and housed equally. Except like Cuba, Venezuela, South Africa and other countries, they invariably end up sinking into uninhabitable shitholes.

We on the other hand employ a much more direct approach: "You will accept our style of democracy and you will like it, or else we'll destroy your economy and your country." And so they too end up turning into uninhabitable shitholes.

Why do we even need to be in Niger? Do they have something we need? If not, leave them a note to tell them that they need to lose our phone number and don't call us when you turn into whiny ass bitches.

Do you ever wonder how places like Cuba or Venezuela would be doing if not for the US sanctions?

It was a strategic location that put us in the middle of a lot of things.

I actually agree we do not need to be there.

The tremendous Nation of Niger is a top producer of uranium

 

[lg325]

The war on Islamic Terrorism is the reason why the U.S. and other nations are in African countries.

I understand that, but there are other ways of getting uranium and in fact, we can cover our needs ourselves.

Niger has oil, uranium, coal, and gold.

As if we don't have enough of those things. Except for the uranium that Hillary gave away to the Russians, and the gold that was all sold off through those TV commercials.
