Russian Troops Enter Air Base Hosting US Soldiers In Post-Coup Niger

"US diplomats and the Pentagon have been in retreat from the West African nation of Niger, while also scrambling to maintain some influence there, following the junta seizing power in a coup in July 2023. Niger's military toppled the US-friendly government of President Mohamed Bazoum, who was taken hostage.

At the same time the junta is displaying its warmer relations with Russia and its forces, declaring an alliance with 'anti-imperialist' nations. French troops have already exited the country.

Rogan To University Protesters: "You Guys Are Doing Nonsense" At "Cult Camp"

“If I was going to try to destroy the country, that’s how I would do it,” Rogan noted, explaining “I would radicalize the kids, give them the stupidest ideas, and run them in their head.”

Macron doesn't rule out sending troops to Ukraine if Russians break through line of contact

"Macron replied affirmatively that he still stands by his words regarding the possibility of deploying allies' troops in Ukraine. "I’m not ruling anything out, because we are facing someone who is not ruling anything out. We have undoubtedly been too hesitant by defining the limits of our action to someone who no longer has any and who is the aggressor! If the Russians were to break through the front lines, if there were a Ukrainian request—which is not the case today—we would legitimately have to ask ourselves this question. So I think to rule it out a priori is not to learn the lessons of the past two years." France24
