A U.S. defense official confirmed the beginning stages of the removal process in a statement to Fox News Digital on Saturday, saying discussions between the U.S. and Niger for the "orderly removal" of troops had started.

"We can confirm the beginning of discussions between the U.S. and Niger for the orderly withdrawal of U.S. forces from the country," the official said.

The official did not provide a timeline for when troops would be removed from the West African country, but noted that individuals from the Pentagon and the U.S. Africa Command would be engaged in the conversations related to the removal process.

Russia and China will own all of Africa ….

Another biden retreat

Are we done spreading democracy in Niger?

"Nuke 'em from Orbit...it's the only safe way".

Who can blame them?

Oh well

There was a young girl from Niger
Who smiled as she rode on a tiger.
Coming back from the ride, the girl was inside
And the smile was now on the tiger.

If they want El Shabbab to take over their country, so be it.

But Russia or China will fill the void left.

Did the French leave?

"Color Revolution" in 3...2...1

muslim radicals took over and ousted the elected government. They look to Russia and the middle east for help now.

They ought to spell it right, or rename the country...

We shouldn’t have been there regardless.

Patricia Neal said that in, In Harms Way... I think...

We should not be there regardless. Bring our warriors home!

Gotta make room for all the Chyneez.

I agree that we should not be there. Today , After the house passed the 95 billion dollars give away, I said to myself ," we cant just babysit the world. " . Why are we there? What is in it for us? They dont seem to want us there.

Niger has natural resources including gold, uranium and oil. Russia and china are already carving Africa up.

Really make one appreciate Ft. Polk.. I could not imagine being stationed there in that chit hole country.

Where be Pauly thanking you for linking the news?

He must be ascared of Summy

Ain’t there diamond mines ovr there

If I were them I'd demand General Milley be in charge of the withdrawal.

Are we going to be leaving weapons again?

He's not a one trick pony. He has a sense of humor. He doesn't dwell in the negative.

Now you know the difference between him and our resident news parrots. I hope we don't have to have this conversation again.

Of course!
They are too heavy to tote home!

They love us in Ukraine.

I heard it from Artemus Gordon on The Wild Wild West.

Little Black Sambo turned tigers into butter.

Dumb Boomer want to invade Africa the mid east and leave our borders open and get endless Pfizer jabs

No wonder our country is collapsing

WTF are our troops even doing in that useless place? Our troops time would be better spent, trying to bring modern day civilization to places like Black Neighborhoods in Chicago, Detroit, Harlem, Baltimore, Oakland, Watts etc.

Who gives a Duck about Africa? I'd wish the lions ate all the humans in Africa, and then we turned the place into a big Amusement Park...

Just about anywhere else in the world outside of the USA makes you appreciate what we have almost anywhere in this country. …🫡🇺🇸

Probably be cheaper to leave them as well.

Well retard how is his statement untrue?

Unless we're willing to be the baddest azz dog on the block and crack the whip on any opposition to our troops, they might as well stay home and hide under the porch. Making our guys sitting ducks for any groid, wetback, or raghead who decides to take a poke at them is ridiculous.

That IS the God’s honest truth!

china and russia know how many important natural resources are located in the continent.
Sure are not there helping for altruistic reasons.

Let us hope we do not leave behind gazillion of dollars in military equipment this time.

Go ahead and leave a few items behind- - - - -obsolete and/or worn out junk. Just booby trap them with enough C4 that the first clown who tries to steal one becomes a red mist spread over a 3 block radius. The rest of them will sit there untouched until they rust away.

Wanna see someone who is gleeful for more jabs? Want to find someone who is almost 100 certain to want to send money to ukrain? Find a male or female between the ages of 18 and 35.

There's your "oh [bleep] gotta get a jab" mask wearing line toting brain dead borg drones. You have a hardon for boomers because your daddy touched your pecker or something, but your ire is highly misplaced.

I think Niger was a Special Forces base of operations. Not your typical ticket punch overseas destination. But if it could be an asset for the USA Biden has to screw it up.

We have all the natural resources we need on the American continents.

Why in hell would we want to take Africa under our wings. Let Russia and China have the dark continent.

Biden is a walking, talking Cluster F.... His diplomacy has no other description except it SUCKS. Everything he touches turns to ship with a T. Niger has brought in Russians, already and they are setting up missile batteries already. So much for the ice cream sucking, little girl sniffing, pig fuxer.

That isolationist stuff is sounding better all the time.

Spot on!

US Exits Niger

The US military will fully withdraw its roughly 1,000 troops from Niger after the two sides failed to reach a deal allowing American forces to remain in the country, officials said over the weekend. The frayed alliance ends eight months after the Niger military overthrew the government, a move eventually designated as an illegal coup by the US.



Since that time, Niger’s military junta has established closer ties with Russia, which has recently trained local forces. Analysts say Moscow has both directly or tacitly supported recent coups in places like Mali and Burkina Faso, often using Libya as a gateway to funnel arms and equipment.



The US established a presence in Niger in 2013—including building a $110M Air Force base in 2018—as a command center for operations in Africa's Sahel region. The sub-Saharan region has seen a significant rise in extremist violence, accounting for more than 40% of global terrorism-related deaths in 2022.

We've been keeping 1000 troops in Niger. Something almost no one knew about. Think about the monthly cost of that. We spent $110 million building a place to land planes. Now they want us gone.

How stupid are we to spread money that we borrow all over the world in shthole countries that don't want us there. And we have unfunded infrastructure projects desperately needed here in our own country.

At least now they have a nice airport.

A nice airport in one of the major smuggling routes and the path migrants use to get from Africa to Europe.

drone basses

you can your savage 99 and invade Niger. Why did the US invade Niger and why does the US have over 800 military bases around the world? To secure our borders? lol

Here's another g for you.

Let's hope that base has a bunch of 30 foot deep craters every few yards down the runway and all the buildings are rubble when our guys leave. No point in just handing over a fully operational facility to people who are evicting us. Good training for a few demolition specialists!

Rare Earth Metals

It's Niger's property, not ours

If you 'drill down' into the story a little deeper...you will discover Chevron sold some of it's facilities and leases, and acquired new and better leases, and I believe Chevron still operates it's gas pipeline subsidiary there. So the mission of the US military, "To preserve and protect Chevron Nigeria" is not over yet.

No need to take any of their property- - - - -just rearrange it a little on the way out the door!

Classic South Park.

It's their country. They want us gone. We need to get the hell out. No reason to destroy any improvements we made while there.

That would be like tearing down and vandalizing a fence on a property you had been leasing that the owner wanted to not renew the lease on.

If other countries are turning to China and Russia that might ought to tell us something. The 3rd world countries are already working on an alternative to the U.S. dollar. It is easy to understand why.

You campfire knotheads just knock it off...we must maintain a strong military presence in Nigeria to protect my 200 shares of Chevron preferred stock, LOL.

You guys don’t get it. Those with the most toys win. In this case, the toys are natural resources, and Russia and China are going after them like crazy in Africa. China is flooding the markets with cheap chit, and the locals love it because they can buy things they couldn’t before. They are gaining sway, while the US buries its head in the sand. Having alliances are a good thing, and the US is losing out on the last place on earth that’s basically still relatively undeveloped. We need to be gaining influence in Africa, not losing it.
