While I tend to agree, Africa is way more strategically important than Ukraine.

I could ask that same question about a lot of places. Meanwhile, we lob another $60B to Ukraine in another “we give up” move from RINO’s. Average Americans continue to struggle just to pay the bills. It’s all pretty depressing to tell the truth.

Niger's economy is based largely on subsistence crops, livestock, and some of the world's largest uranium deposits.

Why did we spend half a billion to build a base, then get blamed for imperialism for an unstable region that hates Whypipo?

Natural resources. Same reason China and Russia want to be there.

Africa is flush with some good stuff.

Not that I agree with this, but that is a major reason why. They'll always give other reasons publicly.
