They told Cookies Nuland to GTFO a few months back. Good for them.

Looks like they found the palest Karen they could and sent her to Niger. LOL

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

There is so much ch gross fraud, waste and abuse in our government…I saw it first hand in my deployments in Iraq and Afghanistan…we would build a multi million dollar airstrip just to abandon it as soon as it’s complete because “strategy” changes…makes me sick how much our so called leadership is so good at wasting taxpayer 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.

If someone had spread a rumor that she was an albino, she'd have been kidnapped, butchered and her body parts sold by medicine men to cure assorted illnesses.

Let me guess…. She lectured the leadership of the country about their lack of gay rights, lack of tranny “healthcare”, DEI, etc.

Then they told the wench to GYFAO and take your countrymen with you..

So we basically spent $100 million on an airbase and then let the Russians take over? Sounds like what an actual Russian asset would do.

Thankfully, based on the price all they got was one runway, a mobile home, and a Port-A-Potty.

Like Vietnam?

But it's really not-there are a lot of bad actors from outside Niger that are causing problems in Niger.

I don’t necessarily disagree, but geopolitics requires all forms of influence. Airbases and anti-terror activities in Niger help our goal in keeping the war on Islamoterrorists on another continent, keeps our influence in Africa, and keeps bad actors from receiving the raw materials to make a nuclear weapon, all while our service men and women have a low risk of casualties, while getting hands-on training fighting Islamoterrorists.

It’s unfathomable how this horseshite WH sends these freaks to represent America as if they’d get an ounce of respect.
