Bring them all home and station them at the border.

What they’re saying is that they’re bleeding troops. No one wants to join, so supply shortage.

Good thing they left that 100 million in military equipment. That stuff is heavy and will give the Russians hernias.

US troops being thrown out of Niger and their base given over to Russia. Same thing appears to be happening in Chad. More proof of how Biden has restored respect for the US by other countries.

We were told by candidate Biden that his policies as president would make the world love America.

The Biden presidency has been disappointing in so many ways.

It looks like the fabulous “rules based order” isn’t really global, it is just Europe, Australia, and America.

Earlier reports indicated that 1000 US soldiers had been held as hostages in Niger but that a deal had been worked out and that Niger would release the hostages if Biden gave them control of the $100M air base.

Now it’s being spun as a strategic withdrawal by the US.

I think we just got our ass kicked by Niger.

Can’t we somehow blame this on Netanyahu and the crushing, oppressive regime Israel has imposed on Niger? And especially the LGBTQs and trans people in Niger!

“”In the coming days, there will be conversations over the timeline for the withdrawal with the Department of Defense, the official said.””

Well, that’s reassuring. I wondered what the State Department was doing calling the shots!

If this is true:

Is Biden About To Declare Himself Climate Dictator?

Those troops may be needed at "home".

Yeah, cause Niger didnt want us to just come and get them with the chaos that surrounds a hostile military airlift.

Between these such ‘left behind’ military outlets and the ‘death to America’ crowd and the swell of military aged men who won’t speak English on purpose...there is a war going on and the news speaks of it daily when American citizens- women, children and men- are harmed or killed by demonic possessed humans allowed to just roam where ever they want. Free plane rides for many!!! Just try taking an envelope to the airport and getting on a plane!!!!!!! What a JOKE.

Something is about ready to blow....

Probably a great vacation spot...Even Quonset huts have to be covered - to protect them from the environment, I suppose.

The U.S. should destroy the facilities it built there.

US military leaves third world African country, with it’s tail between it’s legs, leaving hundreds of millions of dollars in military equipment for gleeful Russians.
