Africa North
Russia is Niger's main strategic partner
Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited.

And doing a bang up job at it!

Commentary by Russian military journalist Boris Rozhin.

[ColonelCassad] Niger has declared Russia its main strategic partner. Not long ago, Niger's main strategic partner was France. But the French neocolonial empire collapsed and Russia occupied part of the vacated sphere of influence, helping to free Niger from colonial rule.
The Great Game goes on a Josef Conrad tour...
Niger has large reserves of minerals, including uranium. Accordingly, it is a very profitable partner for Russia. But not only in connection with possible deals on minerals. After the US left, Africa's largest drone base in Agadez became free, which can accommodate heavy military transport aircraft.

Russian troops are currently stationed at an airfield in the country's capital, but we can expect further expansion of our military presence in Niger. Long live a free Niger!

#2  vacated sphere of influence

I don't believe events of this scale are unbrokered.

Niger has large reserves of minerals, including uranium.

#3  I was talking about IQs in an earlier thread. I did a deep dive on cultural IQs the other day. Those with IQs below 70 are considered to have an intellectual disability. And this whole country is retarded AF.

#3  This seems to be mostly a State Department formerly USAID funded NAFO pushed narrative which the operatives push every few weeks that there is a big attack in Crimea.

Using Yandex AI to cross reference the last attack on Salsk in RUS Media, I'm only locating an attack on the city from 29th of July.

#4  Yes Moso, USAID was the financial cover for action. Another agency was the actual originator of funding.

Kunstler - Suspicious Minds
[James Howard Kunstler] "It was a coup, and I'm using that term literally... One egregious felony after another." — Stephen Miller

America is tired of being driven insane, of having absurdities crammed into our collective consciousness. Reality is an agreement about what is going on in the world. That act of faith requires such an agreement be based on what is demonstrably true. Without it, society dissolves into chaos and failure.

The RussiaGate psychodrama is about an agreement based on lies. It started with Hillary Clinton’s desperate ploy to save her foundering 2016 election campaign. Her emails somehow got sent to Wikileaks, a radical news org dedicated to revealing government secrets, implicating misconduct. It was easy to declare the Russians did it, by hacking — when it was much more likely, in fact, proven by a forensic audit, that a Clinton campaign insider downloaded the info on a thumb drive, perhaps one Seth Rich, found murdered on a DC sidewalk soon thereafter.

Every lie after that met the kind of skepticism among the public that generates heat, controversy, scandal, and fire. Hillary managed to enlist President Barack Obama and his executive agencies into her project, and the party apparatus with it, because the Clinton Victory Fund had paid the DNC’s debts and took over its management. Soon, the Russia collusion project grew into a gigantic scaffold of flaming lies. The big newspapers and the TV news networks bought the story, and came along for the ride. They were all sure Hillary would win the 2016 election. All the heat and fire would get flushed away. The polls all said so. The agencies and the parties would pick up and go on as before, run the show, make careers, get wealthy, be important!

#1  "Her [Hillary's] emails somehow got sent to Wikileaks, a radical news org dedicated to revealing government secrets, implicating misconduct."

The Main Stream Media has become radicalized in that it has become like Tass during the USSR's Iron Curtain era.--Basically a propaganda arm of the USA'S left.
