Chad’s government threatens to kick out US troops as Russia expands influence in Africa
CNN ^ | 4/18/24 | Haley Britzky

The US risks losing its military presence in another African country as the government of Chad sent a letter threatening to end a critical security agreement, according to four US sources, a move that threatens to cede more US influence in the region to Russia.

In a letter sent to the US defense attaché last week, Chadian officials threatened to cancel the Status of Forces Agreement, or SOFA, which determines the rules and conditions under which US military personnel can operate in the country. While the letter did not directly order the US military to leave Chad, the officials told CNN that it said all US forces would have to leave the French base in N’Djamena.

The US is severely hampered by laws against bribery. The Russians are not so encumbered.

So, but the hell out of the bases and leave them intact.

The only people winning the Ukraine War are those who feast on death and despair.

Apparently the rest of the world doesn’t want to be held hostage to the bankers’ SWIFT system.

Absolutely, and you have the give the Leftists running this country (and the Ukraine War, by the way) CREDIT for helping Putin - by DEMANDING that African countries embrace Gay Marriage and Pedophilia, concepts that they’re not quite ‘sophisticated’ enough to love, at least not yet.

I’ve heard about this as BRICS is powerfully expanding its influence and power in Africa.

After the Bush v. Gore ballot recounts I thought we wouldn’t have to hear about chads again.

African nations detest the American homosexual oriented culture which is being forced upon them. Every American embassy and consulate is an active center of such lifestyle.

Russia promotes the lifestyle in which Africans believe. The world is turning away from the US because of this.

Russia wasn’t marching West, it was NATO marching East that caused the problem.

NATO didn’t “march” anywhere

But Russia illegally invaded a sovereign country with no provocation

What hampers the West in Global South is the fact that the entirety of Global South has at some point suffered under Western colonialism and or have had their governments overthrown, installed and manipulated by the CIA. The Russians have never really abused nations other than those in Europe.

Additionally, none of the countries in Global South, all of whom are traditional societies, have to buckle under to Western globohomo imperialism with Ivan now there to give them other options.

Putin was as amazed as anyone that NATO decided not to get out of this hopeless, unwinnable war two years ago. Rather, NATO decided to take 2 1/2 years to totally destroy itself. A win win situation for the Russians. I’m sure the Russians still can’t believe how stupid NATO was to do this and how lucky Russia was in allowing the idiots in DC to have their way.
