Secretary of State Blinken Says US Supports ECOWAS Efforts To Bring Back Order In Niger

 

Financial Times: Blinken backs West African efforts to restore Niger’s constitutional order  

US secretary of state’s comments come after his deputy was denied a meeting with the leader of last month’s coup 

US secretary of state Antony Blinken said Washington supported West African efforts to restore constitutional order in Niger, whose neighbours have threatened military action unless the new ruling junta reverses last month’s coup. 

Niger’s democratically elected president Mohamed Bazoum was deposed last month by the head of his own presidential guard, General Omar Tchiani, the latest coup in a volatile region that removed one of its few pro-western leaders.

White Leftists are increasingly dissatisfied with their ideological plantations in the West, so they are continuing the era colonial mandates and protectorates that they have always "raycisms bigots(TM) ReeEeeeEing" about in more recent history. White leftists always firmly believe that they know better than their plantation field hands as to what their problems and solutions are, and lecture endlessly on the matter. Actualization of self determination, as heard in every college classroom, is no consideration at any time if it means they lose power over their "definitely not a plantation". Unfortunately Africa is now in an aggressive reactionary phase against the west, and ethno masochistic self hating white leftists have driven them to systemic anti white genocide on the continent and in the west itself to an extent; this being one of the white leftists concurrent fetishes along with mass child rape/butchery and fascistic gender larping, censorship and persecution as a subjectively attractive pink cudgel. Child Pred Fred resonates well with this particular circus; the good Boi that he is.

The developing world is fundamentally culturally conservative in all practicality since the dawn of time, and they look at the bat shit crazy white leftist meth head cultural fuckery that has proven entirely antithetical to anything resembling a functional society intending to exist past a single generation and think "big nope". Russia calling Ukraine and the wast Fascist is a continuation of the degeneracy and stupidities of the Nazi party remanifested from the left where it originated. Yes, Nazism is a left wing socialist ideology labeled as " far right wing" because of its elements of ethno nationalism/centricity, and their focus only being on those single variables makes them think they can reclassify the political spectrum along with everything else as needed. Russia under Putin is still in the wrong for invading Ukraine, and I need to say that because some very pleasant dipshits on here will accuse me of supporting Russia, because they are binary thinking absolutists and two things cannot be true at once when you are so blinded and rabidly froth mouthed as they are. Good stuff.

This is about oil. Just like the Gulf war. But with the added twist of mineral supplies for France.

The west cannot have unfriendly nations on the border of Nigeria

This is not about oil.

https://www.eia.gov/dnav/pet/hist/LeafHandler.ashx?n=pet&s=mttimusni1&f=m

The US does not need Nigerian oil. If you listen to the ecofreaks (funded by Russia in part) and Democrap politicians, the US does not need oil. I am not totally convinced by this abhorrence of oil. I think sometimes it might be an American maskirovka.

France does need the minerals (uranium from Niger). I think Macron is dickless enough to let the nuke plants run dry, and the riots erupt before fleeing France rather than doing much of anything. The only thing Macron would fight to do is to put Le Pen in a psych ward(he tried) and to sleep with Trudeau. He would fight damn hard for the latter.

Macron would chip in if the Americans were on the ground. Otherwise, dickless will not do much.

You have to remember the American president is also dickless. Obama's cook dying has resurfaced that very credible claim. Obama's cook died in 3 feet of water. You could die in 2 inches of water in a ditch, if you were drunk. It is possible. O'Reilly, a former lifeguard, stated that about 70% of drowning have alcohol involved. So everything might be copacetic.

Except the explanation keeps changing as to who was where. Obama had bandages on his fingers. A map commissioned by the state of estuaries show the water depth not to be 8 feet until out to several hundred feet from shore.

An previous Obama cook died of drowning in the dessert. This is possible, if they were caught in a flash flood. I do not remember them mentioning a flash flood.

Did the cooks overhear too much?

Was the last cook gay and there was a falling out?

Supposedly there was a female friend with the cook. Maybe. She did not rescue the cook. I do not blame her, if that is the truth. Drowning victims have drowned their rescuer. It is dangerous to try to rescue a drowning person. She does not have rescue training or at least the press has not put that out there. I kind of doubt it.

Point is that Obama, the American leader is dickless. He also has a funny agenda. Dickless, that is to say Obama, pulled resources from the hunt to get Kony. Why? Sure Obama said Africans should solve African problems. Okay but wrap up the current op in a few weeks or few months, get Kony and then tell African leaders that.

Also when the Christian president of Nigeria was about to wipe out Boko Haram, Dickless took action to stop it. He embargoed Nigeria, supported the presidents electoral rival and read Nigeria the riot act.

Given the Boko Haram and Kony incidents, why would anyone expect Dickless to care?


Oh and Nigeria was closing in on Boko Haram. Maybe our mysterious blogger might want to review that before declaring the ECOWAS does not have the logistic to go into Nigeria.

O/T: Chad did not have the logistics to defeat Libya, but they did.

Geo politically, Matt is right.

But another fine point to be made and why the west is panicking

Can you guess?

Well my fellow bloggers it goes like this.

Now that Russian oil is the non commodity of choice ( thank you for the saying, Mark milley)

And the Saudis with the rest of the middle east leaning towards China, other sources of oil become that more important.

That is why a non friendly gov next to Nigeria, is a bad thing for the idiot neoconservatives who got us into this mess.

These non Russian non Chinese aligned sources of raw materials MUST be secured.

Where is the big Wow?

Matt is right.

1) Leftist do think they are smarter than other people. Check
2) Leftist have been accused if running plantations. That accusation is all over the literature. Check.
3) Leftists are racists. For one they have the "bigotry of low expectations." Check

So check , check check

You can quibble with expository writing style or lack of footnotes. But footnotes? This is a comment thread. anyway if footnotes were provided you would quibble with them.

Yup, Mr. Nobody and his classic trolling. Agree with Matt and then twist it. Mr. Nobody should be B movie or direct to video script writer.

The US does not need Nigerian oil. Mr. Nobody ignore this. We know why? Mr. Nobody has all the chops to be a producer for the alphabet networks.

Maybe Mr. Nobody the apparatchik with a paucity of skill could make an argument that Europe needs Nigerian oil. Perhaps Meathead could count the neoconservatives in European government or on a pinhead.

No you poor, scatter brained poster of 1:28

Mr Nobody takes a strategic world view.

Mr Nobody did not mention the USA, did he? No he did not. That is because Mr Nobody is considering the European situation , not the American one. The Americans are the only ones winning economically. ( short term only).

This is about oil. Because if these countries were in a backwater like Burma, no one would care.

With Russian oil now being off the market (supposedly) for the west, other sources must be secured. The US has to play a very tight margin with the europeans.

Now that the USA managed to cut off Russian oil, They have to balance the pain level the europeans feel. It has to be just right. Right enough that EU economies are weak Vis-a-vis the USA , but not so weak that the Europeans will abandon the USA's policies and oversight.

if this was not important, why else would the USA send over its #2 person?

Its important to keep in mind that you fundamentally cannot argue with stupid. It usually sucks you in and takes you back to its ether of nothingness of darkness and despair. Its a waste of time, especially if you are coming from it to have a good faith discussion. I gave Professor Child Pred Fred Lapaides/Roosting chickens in March anon multiple chances years ago (I added this blog to my routine in 2009) and each time I detailed a response to his "arguments" he ran away like a socially stunted angsty adolescent liberal and posted vox hyperlinks in the next series of posts and continued to troll. You dont humanize trolls. You poke fun at and shit on them. They enjoy their fecal fetish; more masochism....a performative spectacle. Kind of like the Island boys if Child Pred Fred Lapaides had a brother. Its his lowly lot in life now at the age of 80, fermenting behind his glowy square hours on end next to a rubbish bin filled with discolored kleenex and a felled bottle of little blue pills. I figure that I may have fun with it, and I never hide my identity doing so.
