  5. Tell the BLACK AMERICANS to see how their european american military is refusing to leave Africa even when they tell Black Americans to return to Africa.
    That is PROOF that the western countries survive with the Wealth of Black African Countries and commonwealth of BLACK PEOPLE WORLDWIDE based in the Black African Countries

  6. There is no Niger Republic military bases in america.
    There should be ZERO american military bases in Niger Republic and the Black African Countries

  12. Mark my words‼️ After the US military leaves the country, the CIA will enters to destabilize the country. That's how the US and it's allied operate.

  29. Maybe if CIA gets
    Putin to fly American troops out of two bases in Africa. Since Putin allowed to fly his planes there. Just fly our troops back to Egypt. Before we had another Black Hawk Down were Delta Force was stripped down by the civilians' dead bodies dragging through the streets.
    Soviet Union troops in Africa on the same base as Americans.
    Is there anything left to do, for the soldiers stuck in Africa is for the Pentagon to
    release them from the two Africa base to get on a Russian airplane.
    It's not a checkmate for Putin, but it is. A check against Joe BIDEN'S Administration.
    Cuz obviously the CIA Playbook. It is from the 40s. The two African leaders both countries were installed by the CIA. That's why they're not allowed to fly in or out.
    Word from the corner, Mouse.
    oh yeah, CIA, you can swim out from the middle of Africa because I guarantee you Putin isn't going to help you.

  33. The USA 🇺🇸 🗽.
    Exit from NIGER is a BIG BIG Savings of
    Billions of Dollars 💵 that USA 🇺🇸 usually
    Spend for year in HELP for Poor African communities , foods, rice Beans Flour Clothing , Doctors , Nurses , Vaccines 💉
    Medicine 💊 , water pumps , Generators ,
    Environmental personal ,
    Disease control Personal
    Etc etc. Tanks USA 🇺🇸 🗽🗽🗽🗽
    for that wonderful savings
    Savings

  36. The Russians don't need to get equipment from Niger. They have tons that they just paraded in Moscow that they took from slain Ukrainians. But we'll keep sending billions of dollars and tons of equipment to ensure more Ukrainians die needlessly by preventing peaceful negotiations
