a massive drone center that cost American taxpayers $280 million. Thanks to a change in the Nigerien leadership, Americans may have to give up that investment for good.

280 million to our government is like a penny to me. They really don't care much about it.

All the bad stuff while draining the Swamp must occur under bidAn’s watch.

And, it is, actually. From Afghanistan, to Ukraine and here Niger.

The MO is to take one piece of the Swamp at a time, and shove it out there, reveal it, and let it destroy itself.

We are in a War, and this is DECLAS.

The US military is full of LGBT creeps—and African governments have had enough of this cultural pollution.

They want us gone—and they are correct in their evaluation.

It is Africa. Just put some cash in the back pocket of the new leader and you’ll keep the base.

I looked it up. $280,000,000 is but only 14 percent of the INTEREST you and I pay EACH DAY on the National Debt.

Recall all those US embassies, consulates and US bases where "pride" flags and "rainbow" colors were displayed?

State Department authorizes U.S. embassies to fly the Pride Flag Biden's-Blinken's work, as reported in NY times 23 April 2021.

Biden admin. grants 'blanket authorization' to fly Pride flag at embassies ABC News, 23 April 2021.

Pride flags have been flown by U.S. embassies in Muslim majority countries during Biden presidency Reuters, 13 June 2022.

The US is undergoing Swamp removal as well. Look at Milley.

What we see in the news is not so much to tell us how awful the military is, but, once again, it’s the DJT MO of DECLAS - put out the trash in the open, and let it destroy itself.

Parts of the military are swamp, and others are restoring the Republic. The majority of Space Force is doing a lot of heavy lifting behind the scenes, IMHO.

You are talking about the “white hats”—who were going to save us any day now—for the last three years.

lol

Afghanistan: “Thanks for all the free stuff...now get lost”
Iraq: “Thanks for all the free stuff...now get lost”
Ukraine: “Need more free stuff”
Niger “Thanks for all the free stuff...now get lost”

Just about all of Africa, and I am being generous, is a cesspool needing to be left for self-immolation.

We have our own troubles.

Much of Africa is moving away from the West and into the arms of BRICS.

You know who will take possession of that base. Russia is being welcomed into every one of the those nations as the locals evict the Western colonial imperialists. Russia now owns the entirely of the Global South.

What happened to China?

I thought they had a large presence in Africa.
