off topic but:

Looks like France/US are gonna invade Niger using their proxies.

This is essentially a reverse-Ukraine. Lets see how steadfast the pro-ukraine crowd will be of Niger as an independent country.. LOL


Will the world sanction their proxies ? :baby:

Goomshill have a thread in regards to that by the way.

Couldn't Ukrainian hackers just circumvent this safeguard though?


And losing support ? I don't think so.
First question coming in my mind is more like: Okay, but less range will mean bigger load or not ? Maybe you have the answer in your german papers.

From what I know about the pitiful state of the German military, the Ukrainians can be glad if our missiles even take off at all while carrying normal load.

Lack of quantity does not means lack of quality, seems Spain "tested" them with success and i guess South Korea isn't buying shitty stuff considering their developpment level.
That or ATACMS, then massively increased shells production... I would prefer Russians to revolt but i'm just reading that Putin is preparing tanks for... His own state police... Wtf...

TLDR:
A pro-Western, democratically elected minority (Arab) president got ousted by a military junta.

Commentators argue that Niger was important to France as its base of operations in Africa and a source of Uranium. There is also a significant American presence on the ground with a base and a significant contingent of soldiers. Claims are made that Wagner PMC assisted in the coup. Calls are made to intervene and restore democratically elected president and two main powers that are able to do that is France and ECOWAS alliance of African nations. France is hesitant, ECOWAS doesn’t seem to be coordinated enough.

Stability in Niger (junta or elected) is also important to Nigeria as land route for a proposed gas pipeline to Europe has to go through Niger. I also understand Niger airspace is now closed creating a massive detour for everyone who wants to fly in Africa (Lybia, Sudan, Niger airspace’s are closed blocking off huge chunk of land).

I’m not sure we have good examples of a military coup d etat leading countries to prosperity (Qadaffi Libya? Assuming you close your eyes on his abuses of power). Niger is one of the poorest countries in the world and is proper fucked either way.
