#1 And the M.I.C. and DC swamp are foaming and salivating at the mouth waiting to provide supplies.

Likely already have the S.I.G. banners made and protesters being trained now.

#4 And the M.I.C. and DC swamp are foaming and salivating at the mouth waiting to provide supplies.

They did the 'proper way to pronounce things' trope last week just in case there is an In; Kiev into Kyyyv.

#5 ...at least one of whom previously trained under Department of Defense (DOD) programs.
*Sigh* This crap again. I remember the same garbage being floated in the 90's about The School of the Americas at Ft. Bragg being the cause of Central American 'death squads' by anal retentive leftists. The foreign country picks some bright, well-connected officer for a cushy junket in the US 'learning' at staff schools (paid vacation, yay!) so naturally they will be a 'hard-liner loyalist'.

#6 An historically bad neighborhood. Send in a small reconnaissance team in 200 years to conduct an area study update. Until then, stay out of it.

Yeah, that makes sense. Too bad our government can never stay out of messes like that. They'll waste several billions of dollars and get thousands if not millions of people killed so that whoever is left standing will hate us.

#7 Skidmark, those are some of the most disgusting creatures I have ever seen. The only comfort I can take from it is that denizens of The Swamp deserve them.

#8 Nothing will happen…
There will be no ECOWAS invasion because the major challenge to any such military intervention is the lack of popular support for such a measure against Niger in all ECOWAS members states populations, In Nigeria alone over 78 % of the population is against intervention. Without Nigeria, ECOWAS does not have the resources necessary for such an operation. The Nigerian newspaper This Day noted on Monday that the Nigerian Senate refused to grant Nigeria President Bola Tinubu the authority to send troops to the neighboring country.
“Tinubu had, through a letter to the senate, asked for approval for military action as agreed by ECOWAS“. But the senate, in rejecting the request, asked the president, who is also Chairman of regional body, and other leaders in the region to tread with caution in addressing and embracing the colonialist quagmire of Niger.” Before this latest news, the French and the US governments were ready to provide all the air defense deemed necessary.
Now ……What air defense? It's a big country, 1,000 miles east-west and 800 miles north-south. 😂 😆
Ps. Algeria is also considering military support for Niger.
