Who knew?
Wonder if TPTB even know where all our troops are?

Now that France is withdrawing her ambassador and troops by December, where does that leave the US troops?

France to withdraw from Niger leaving us there

France was in Vietnam before U.S. and pulled out, and then we became the primary colonial power.

How do they determine who gets the shaft on deployments and has to get sent to some dump like Niger

US combat troops were deployed to Vietnam in 1965, 11 years after the French withdrew

So are you expecting us to get involved in some quagmire in Niger of all places where we might lose 10s of thousands of troops? Because I don't see that happening.

I don't know what to expect. But you are clearly ignorant of the timelines surrounding the Vietnam War. We didn't start losing thousands of troops in 1954

So do you see Niger developing into another Vietnam? Or was his statement just asinine hyperbolic bullshite? Because it's either one of the two. Pick one.

"combat troops" yes. Green Berets/Special Forces "advisors" were there for years before that and they weren't just 'advising"---they were there since 1957!!!

4 years ago did you the see the US instigating a war between Ukraine and Russia and spending tens of billions of dollars funding it? There is no way of knowing now what will happen in the future with the people you are stupid enough to vote for in charge.
