Vicky was humiliated by the new leader of Niger, as von der Leyen was by the Chinese. As for the US stopping all aid, well I doubt that any of it ever got to the people anyway. More likely it was ‘diverted’ into the pockets of the former President and his cronies. So the people of Niger won’t miss what they never had. Now Niger have said that they don’t want the US gas pipeline going through their country, all hell is going to break out. I read today that Al Qaeda has been unleashed on the Wagner Group and… Read more »
Coup leaders said “we don’t want your money, you can spend it for fat Nuland’s lose weight plan” LOL
You’re kidding eh?
Maybe the boys of Niger would have been more disposed to agree to Nuland’s demand with threats to run from duty, if she wasn’t so ugly?
When a militay makes a coup, as for example in Turlkey in 1979, it is usually to stave off threats to sovereignty or abject corruptoin, widespread terrorism; that is whilst you still have a national army and not an international NATO coalition. A democratically elected president is not always to be preferred to a coup. Not all coups are merley any kind of coup, say like a colour revoloution A la CIA. A Military Coup with support of the whole Military, ususally invloves men from every part of the country, including lower officers and their men. In other words the… Read more »
Do recall, the national military is what gives power to a head of State. They are themselves are supposed to be of the people widespread, and function only as the people, not a an elite. That means all men of martial age and ability, serving, former servicemen, trained, in training, and conscripts. It is quite wrong to automatically question a military coup, as an outsider; it is their internal affair. END. Goid help us, and it is a big cuurent fear, when outr national militaries see themselves as serving NATO foremost; we fear NATO intervention in internal affiars – for… Read more »
If African neighbouring states intervene militarily, then they will have to replace the Niger Military. All of it. Threfore, a prolonged occupation, in support of a president they choose. The very best they could do is hold almost immediate elections. Perhaps the coup leaders could form a party and get elected in as a a military government? Yes tha is insane. What are they, the neighbouring larger military as interveners, going to do – re-educate the men of Niger at school in order to raise ‘proper’ soldiers, obedient to thier puppet neghbours? It’s not their business, and this military causes… Read more »
Is Victoria Nuland Ugly? Or is merely it in the eye of the beholder?
See, Burkino Faso can peacefully persue it’s goal of self-sufficiency, especialy in agriculture and crafts, following its recent military coup. For people of Niger persuing sam egoals, uranium deposits as goods for trade in money appears to be curse. But the uranium raises the GDP. WHat will you buy with those dollars? Louis Breton bags? A high rise office? Luxury apartments. Imagine if all was barted from subsistence farming. Zero GDP. How do you put a price on the goods exchanged , if not in dollars? We can put a high value on local food production, and self-build homes –… Read more »
