How does us giving a frick about Mali and Burkina Faso Make America Great Again?
The Niger Military is suggesting the United States withhold any military aid so we can give that money to our homeless people.

Global Atomic Corporation issues statement on their Uranium Mines
"While the situation in Niger remains volatile and there has been protesting in some parts of the capital, the rest of the country remains calm. Importantly, our people remain safe and normal business is being conducted at our offices and development of the Dasa Project continues."
However, small detail if I was trying to remain calm over at GAC.
Niger's ruling party: President of ruling party, petrol and mining ministers have been arrested on Monday.

Agreed. And we definitely shouldn’t use our military presence to ensure access to valuable raw materials and markets for goods.

Whoever the Russians have on the ground running their side of the operation, they’re pretty good

Looks like we are about to spread some more of that democracy to Africa. Lol

Have we in the US exhausted our uranium, or just stopped mining it?

Algeria joining Niger, Burkina Faso, Guinea, and Mali
"Algeria will support Niger in case of external military aggression, according to the Algerian publication Intel Kirby. They reported on the potential invasion of Niger under the leadership of ECOWAS, stating that Algeria will not remain idle while its neighboring country faces an invasion.
There were already unconfirmed reports that the Algerian army has started increasing security measures and raising its level of readiness on the border with Niger."

It is my understanding that production for the grade type Uranium we need is too expensive but that if the price increases for Uranium then we would see more US production.

Is France or ECOWAS threatening intervention in Niger? Or Both? Hard to tell from what I’ve seen.
France would be absolutely retarded to embroil themselves in that hellhole even further.

Probably sold the land to China...
And for those who don't know, Burkina Faso goes wayyyy back with Russia. It was basically a Soviet satellite state back during the Cold War. There were paintings and monuments to Stalin and Lenin and Castro and Che everywhere.
Russsia was playing the Chinese game in Africa long before Chinese, except they were using them not necessarily for their resources (except food production), but to gain UN blocks and military allies and large land buffers in places the US couldn't. And they used communism to do it.
The Chinese took over this strategy after the USSR fell, but they used it far more for natural resources than anything.
By next year, half of Africa will have openly aligned itself with Russia/China and kicked most of the west out and won't export resources anymore. This is a good con by the Russians. There are so many minerals and rare earth elements in those small shitty African republics its crazy. And they all owe China billions for roads and docks and ports.
The Chinese have used the Kennedy doctrine of foreign policy of buying infrastructure instead of using military force to perfection.

Across the globe, nations are cutting ties with the United States, including dumping the dollar for the new currency that Russia is promoting. GTFO they say. Plus them Africans don't like them girly men.
To you Biden groupies, this is what your support of Potatus has brought us.
Elections have consequences. Stolen elections have catastrophic consequences.

No one is paying attention but we have had pretty continuous ops in Africa.
My son has been there multiple times in the last 4 years.
