🇳🇪🇹🇬🇫🇷🇺🇸🇳🇬🚨| President of the CNSP (putschists) announces that he is ending by decree on 03/08 the functions of the ambassadors of #Niger in #France, the #US, #Togo and #Nigeria.

Seems like diplomatic ties are suspended with these countries.

Curfew also lifted. pic.twitter.com/IHuELIvkpF

I have to believe or rather hope that someone is YELLING at the administration from the Pentagon that the last place they want to send US forces to fight is Africa. Whether we're helping the French and other European nations or not, this is NOT a place we want to get entangled in.

My fear is that they won't listen.

That the French will bully Biden into fighting their fight for them and we'll end up hip deep in Africa.

You think Afghanistan was bad?

Wait till we wade hip deep into Central Africa.

In Africa, Wagner will do the Special Forces "force multiplier" thing, we will be facing a hybrid force of terrorist and conventional forces while at the same time battling ISIS, other terrorist and trying to do the humanitarian mission thing.

This will be bad if Biden misplays things.
