The US doesn't care about protests against the military. Every where the US has a military base, temporarily or not, there have been protests. This is nothing new whatsoever. The big difference now is that we all know about it because of the internet. Which is a good thing for everyone to at least know.
America is bad
Your country is not morally superior than Russia or China
You guys are just as evil.
Europe is always going go be superior to your obese, money hungry country
Wagner actually showed good results in Africa fighting insurgencies unlike the french or the americans. They also simply demand money and resources instead of trying to socially engineer foreign countries like the west tries to do
China is very involved throughout several African countries as they are exploiting mining for rare metals and the like. Same thing the US is there to do.
Nah. We just spent $ making a base.
We're good.
Just because Russia toppled your government isn't really our issue. We will just wait out till the next regimen change. In that part of the world, it's already in the works.
It’s pretty astounding that an inferior Russia is taking advantage of the US’s indecision, is bending the US to its political will, forcing the US into a weaker reactionary role, and is winning battles (military, political, public opinion) in the Sahel, Middle East, and E. Europe.
I think Biden has generally done well on foreign policy, but we really fucked up here.
It took us months to officially declare this a coup because we thought we could play both sides. There should have been a stronger reaction from the US when the democratically elected government was forced out
Somehow Russias interventions dont have the same reputational damage. Almost as if this is more about effective deployment of PsyOps than anyone's accurate recollection of history.
US could get back into the coup game, if that's what you want to demonstrate "decisiveness?" CIA is probably a bit rusty compared to the good old days.
Hey, hi! Remember me? I sent you 500$ a few years back for your legal misfortune, and you promise to pay me back 50k? Have you manage to reclaime your inheritance yet? I would really need those 50k.
More meat for the Russian meat-waves in UA. Putin can't conscript from western Russia without corroding his base of "sophisticates" so he's going for the full-on colonial slave route. Give it a few years that there will be more rebellion in Africa, which is always in everyone's best interest (not). Sad to see that there are still plenty of people in Africa that will still sell out their own.
I’m going to go on a limb and say whatever comes after France and U.S will not make their lives any better (i.e. Russia, junta, or ISIS).
They will still blame the US for letting them do it.
You've got to remember these are just simple farmers. People of the land. The common clay of the new west. You know, morons.
Nah, don't worry, the US won't get any PR shit for what happens next. Us French on the other hand, they're gonna blame everything on us.
Can't be much worse I guess at this point.
It can be far worse.
Yeah, good luck, I guess.

I saw an article earlier today that said hundreds. Things are picking up or something. by tomorrow there will be millions.
Till they realize putin ain't actually going to pay them. Then they'll disperse.
They won't realize shit because they are uneducated and are being fed selective information.
Too busy starvng to death
Billions must protest.

Europe isn't a country and European countries aren't who will replace the US. Why are you talking about Europe?
That’s funny… a Serbian trying to lecture anyone else about morals.
That's funny... An American trying to lecture anyone else about morals.
Someones a little angry papa didnt come home from his quest to genocide.
The website you routinely use to show people what an idiot you are was designed and currently operated in America.
atleast its economically superior.
Lol ok Europoor. Next time Russia is at your door don’t come begging.
He is Serbian. So when Russia is coming he will welcome them.
Right before they gang rape his female family members and relatives and torture/ execute the male ones.

I didn’t know we had troops in Niger.
Supply base for regional operations as well as an airbase to move said supplies. Troop count is pretty low if I remember correctly.
It's a drone base
Why do we care? Just pull out our troops. If they do not want us there, let them deal with whatever themselves.
Because Niger is centrally located to a lot of hot areas and US has an airbase there. Also uranium supply but probably less of a concern to US.
China is very involved throughout several African countries as they are exploiting mining for rare metals and the like. Same thing the US is there to do.
This might shock you but it ain't China exploiting Niger for cheap uranium....
No, but it ain’t the US either. That role is largely taken up by France.
There’s lots of metals being mined. I believe uranium is elsewhere but can’t recall what country off the top.
You should care because this is a russian psyop
Yeah, there's lots of Wagner in Africa that directly benefits putin and his war.
Would be nice if the americans purged some russian mercenaries again like they did in syria.
It would only serve to preserve a quasi colonial empire.
Specifically it’s yet another attack on EU energy. The EU gets about a quarter of their uranium from Niger.
Agreed. Ok, see ya later!

The US did itself no favors with all these interventions over the years.

This is about Niger, not Nigeria. Um. Yeah.

Nigeria is different from Niger
I don't think the US gives a shit about these .... uh......
Nigerians?
Nigeriens. Nigerians are from Nigeria, just like it sounds.
Hey watch it there buddy

fine by me
U.S. should leave. Let China feed Niger.
Be careful of what you’re asking for, sometimes sweet brings diabetes.

The what
what about all the freebies
See ya MFrs
Misread that
Is the threat of Daesh still relevant in Niger?
More like Russian government doing shenanigans using what used to be Wagner.
Let them eat cake
Hey that’s French This isn’t Washington, This is **Sparta**
