The US military cannot conduct drone operations from a base in Niger because the country’s military junta has closed its airspace.

    $110M? What’s that? A third of an F-35?

      I read “F-35” as “F-350” and was pretty confused

    Why is this in doomer? lol this funny as fuck.

    looking below I see concerns over WW3, and all I can say is, under any circumstances of things getting better, the United States will threaten and warmonger because that’s all this country can do anymore. Like, when unions succeed at something, do you go “oh this is just one step closer to the Pinkertons lynching union organizers in their homes again in retaliation.” Because strictly speaking that’s not even wrong, it’s just the kind of attitude that amounts to “why ever do anything when the opponent can respond?”

      World War 3. Another proxy war against Russia. The Niger coup was pro-Russian

        I seriously doubt the US would outright spend the resources to go to war with Niger right now, they 100% want to keep their eyes on China rn, the window for any kind of military conflict with them is closing, they’ll just try and do the ole classic coup
