If we abandon the base, bomb the frick out of it on our way out. We built it, we can destroy it.
Or disassemble it until it’s nothing but the foundation and take it with us.

I think the but why is getting off the standard that if you boot us you get to keep all our toys and infrastructure?
I don’t think his sentiment was bomb anything beyond our own stuff

If we really wanted to or needed to we could send in our Air Force and Niger couldn’t do shite about it

No, it won't.
Neither of those countries are concerned with niceties or PR when their vassals get uppity.

You guys are just looking for someone to blame, even if it is misplaced.

Not my problem. 1% of Louisiana voted for her.
Voted for Ron Paul and Gary Johnson before her. Also will be voting for Kennedy

No more humanity aid or support of any kind. Let them fricking starve to death.
Jokes on you buddy, China’s belts and roads initiative(BRI), already owns Africa. For a decade the Chinese have been providing infrastructure to Africa, not in exchange for national debt, but for a substantially reduced contracted price for access to those countries natural resources. Currently, there are 150 countries worldwide in BRI.
But, Captain shite’s his pants and the Democratic minions clapped their hands & nodded their heads like trained seals when he stated during the SOTU the US was prepared to throw trillions at Africa to combat BRI.

The country of Niger has cut off the US military base
A junta took over last summer. The new leadership wants to the US out, just as they wanted the French out. The base is not "cut off".

Our troops no longer have access to their medicine or clean drinking water.

$500 mil dollar base
It's not a $500M base...it may be 25% of that.
It's not good news, for sure. But it's not a result of Dems or Republicans or mismanagement. It's a foreign sovereign nation, under new government, running things the way they want to run them. No need to exaggerate to make things seem worse than they are.

Why were we there in the first place? Base was probably built to stuff money into someone's pocket.

It's essentially a base to keep an eye on the spread of Al Queda activities via surveillance.

Considering what you dullards seem to “believe” across various topics, this point of concern should be summarily ignored.

What’s sad is, those troops can’t even retaliate.
Engagement would be punishable
So if they just let countries like that kick the US out, pretty much all countries could do it. Just say get out and apparently, the US leaves the country

Why the frick do we have a base in Niger?
That’s right. Because we’re spreading gay shite at the end of a gun, worldwide. And if you don’t join in, you get regime changed.
Pat Buchanan was right. He was always right. A Republic or an Empire. Pick one. You can’t be both.
