They have a lot of uranium, in mines run by the French. It is where Libya’s Qadaffi was getting his uranium before he got cold feet. His weapons development program involved Iraqi scientists like Obeidi.

The WP used to parrot the sweet tea swilling, Hillary Clinton supporting ambassador to Gabon Joseph Wilson and insist Niger and it’s uranium mining operations were secure.

Of course Qadaffi’s Libya and Saddam’s Iraq were Russian client states all that time, and both harbored the PFLP and ANO (the highjacking/terrorist group headed by Abu Nidal, who was based in Syria then later in Iraq where he died in 2002 with a half dozen or so “suicidal” shots to the head).

“My country is under attack and I’ve been taken hostage.”

Yep - sounds a lot like Trump could have said it. Although he hasn’t let the democrats take him hostage. How many men would have just tossed in the towel after what he has gone through?

Let me guess… the tax dollars in ukraine created a magnet for more Marxists money launderers. Hey, why not, I works for the puppet Obama and co installed in Ukraine.

“President of Niger: “My country is under attack...”

Sorry Mr. President, you’re black.

Now how’s that Youcrane thing going these days?

(note to Ukraine supporters - the above is sarcasm, please calm down)

“He writes exactly like they sound.”

Great observation! Also interesting that he’s somehow able to sneak out messages. Did he hand it to the guard to mail to CNN or something?

“The tell is how many times he says democracy, and mentions sustainable energy projects.”

Does he mention that LGBT ‘rights’ are also threatened by the new government? How about protection rights for the Sahara Tortoise?

When I started reading this article, I assumed it had been written by Saddam Hussein in 2003. Or maybe it was Slobodan Milosevic in 1999.

I think it’s safe to presume that “Mohamed Bazoum” is Tony Blinken’s Facebook identity.
