* Last July a military coup ousted the democratically elected president. This triggered automatic military aid restrictions from the US.
* It is alleged that the military junta that sized control, has signed an agreement to supply Iran with vast amounts of uranium.
* The military junta is bringing in Russian mercenaries to help train and provide security.
The coup leaders actually supported the US presence in Niger when the coup happened.
It looks like they’ve been making deals with Russia though and have been told to kick the US out
Uranium is not a problem : uranium refining/concentration facilities are.
And those have been moving steadily towards being a solved problem for two years now.
There’s a bad joke in here somewhere
Goodluck when Russia and China come in. They don’t give 2 fucks.
They kicked out the French immediately after the coup, I’m mildly surprise the American presence stayed for so long. I suppose it’s natural that the coupists have a larger problem with France, given its previous history in West Africa.
I expect China to quickly step in so the can lay roots for the belt and road initiative
Stop spending our tax dollars on these shitholes.
Destroy the US-funded base on your way out and never provide aid to them again.
Don’t worry. Techno Optimists claim there is infinite nuclear fuel in seawater. We’ll be able to watch TV forever.
I see France putting boots on the ground. But they can’t really unless they want to be considered an Imperial power. Maybe this slap to US authority will be enough to install the Western friendly gov’t.
Russia has been very active in the region too.
Looking forward to seeing how the CIA handles this.
God I want a reporter to ask Trump about this just to hear how he pronounces it
I expect the USA has all the Uranium it needs. Possibly a stockpile from the decommissioned warheads when they reduced the number after signing the treaties.
Fun fact: the UK Nuclear power plants get their fuel from russia even now.
lol it is going to be awkward when another “coup” happens that gives the US it’s access back.
Another puppet state for Russia…
Watch how many of them end up on the battlefield in Ukraine.
China will take over from the U.S.
How many dared to go there I wonder?
If you are not familiar with the Tongo Tongo Ambush, you know nothing about Niger and US relationships.
If American’s don’t realise that supporting Ukraine properly is their one opportunity to deal with Russia (Putin) without getting their hands (troops) dirty, then they are idiots.
Which is what all this is really about
US reply’s. No
Just, like, don’t leave.
Get out?
“Nah”
…
Ngl if it’s true that they are supplying a dangerous theocracy regime with the ability to produce nuclear weapons in large quantities and also have ties to Russia/ North Korea… I don’t know what else to say, that sounds like a time for some military intervention to me.
The Russians can teach them how to lose🤣🤣🤗
Maybe Trump has to realize who’s America’s real enemy. I can tell him this: It’s not Europe.
Anyone remember the Nigerian yellow cake story and what that led to?
“Thank you, Russia and Iran have freed us!”
“Oh I wouldn’t say freed. More like under new management”
Haha uranium
This is my arm chair opinion but Niger is a big reason France has stepped up its anti-Russia rhetoric. Russia pissed France off by stepping into what France (right or wrong) considered its sphere of influence.
Many world events of late seem more deeply connected than they seem on the surface.
Russia’s strategy seems to be spreading as many fires across the world as possible so that they become one of many and not the sole focus of the West. Hamas, Houthis, Venezuela, South Sudan, N. Korea, Armenia, Georgia. (I wouldn’t be surprised if they weren’t doing something to stoke the recent border conflict between the Taliban and Pakistan)
Then you have Iran in the background taking advantage of the chaos to advance its own goals and China watching from behind seeing how it all plays out.
It just seems like the world is redrawing lines again after the end of the cold war.
Well they can say “goodbye” to stability for the foreseeable future.
Russia-China gave them more shiny toys. The joke will be on them when CCP owns them.
These are the notes that will be studied in the events leading up to WW3

This is to Russia’s advantage.
Some key points about why this is happening now:
* Last July a military coup ousted the democratically elected president. This triggered automatic military aid restrictions from the US.
* It is alleged that the military junta that sized control, has signed an agreement to supply Iran with vast amounts of uranium.
* The military junta is bringing in Russian mercenaries to help train and provide security.
