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!

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.
