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.

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

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.

Chalk this latest fiasco up as another instance where U.S. meddling turns into a costly and embarrassing debacle. Note we spent U.S. dollars to train Nigerian troops who then used this skill to overthrow the existing government.

If we leave, we should level it and make it unusable. Knowing the Biden team, they’ll leave the hardware.

The U.S. air base in Niger was first established in 2016, and continued to get built up all through the Trump administration. Trump could have killed it; he didn’t.

Sometimes I think Trump does not fully comprehend what “draining the swamp” ought to mean. It has to mean questioning every single program being run by every single federal agency, and making a budget that defunds billions in appropriations and thousands of operations throughout the federal government.

Let’s get out and stay out with the stipulation if an African nation allies with us and any issues arise for that nation with Niger we will attack Niger without prejudice.

US needs to re-assert “Big Stick” approach.

How much equipment will we get to leave behind and how many ‘translators’ will we now gain?

Niger's new nationalist government, which took power in a coup d'etat last year, has been trying to get rid of foreign military presence in the country

Well, that is a lie. They have embraced the Russians and their mercs and couldn't have had a coup without Wagner...
