I don’t like other Nations making America do anything. But why in the hell do we have a 110 million dollar airbase in Niger.

It's probably not much more than a landing strip in the jungle with a few barracks and a couple of guard towers.

The rest of the 110 million is for employees at the State Dept and DC Politicians.

Then again, it may be a bigly beautiful air base with tactical importance to stopping the spread of terrorism.

Call me Not Sure. But you ask a good question.

Yea, I don't like us telling them what to do either - mainly the ones we're supposed to be friends with.

IDK, but it was a bargain considering how they usually spend money

Keeping ISIS, Boko Haram, and JNIM (al Qa'ida) in check and keeping Niger's natural resources, primarily uranium, in check and away from Russia, China, Iran, and North Korea in the process.
