Niger Finds Itself Trapped in America’s Foreign Policy Roach Motel

Does even one American in hundred, make that one in a thousand, possibly one in a million, feel we must be involved militarily in Niger? I doubt it. But the U.S. military, from Commander In Chief Joe Biden on down, certainly do. He’s got 1,000 troops in Niger. The new Niger government wants them out.

US presence in Niger goes back to 2013. Authorized by President Obama, it has continued under both Trump and Biden. In 2015, 4 US troops were killed in an ambush. It made no dent in Obama’s foreign policy acquiescing in every cockamamie intervention the military demands.

Karma: After US Vetoes 3 Good UN Ceasefire Resolutions, Its Bad Ceasefire Resolution Vetoed

The US watered down ceasefire resolution in Gaza failed to pass when the UN Security Council vetoed it. China, Russia and Algeria all cast vetoes compared to America’s lone veto in 3 previous non US sponsored ceasefire resolutions.

Why “watered down”?

Democrats Cementing Status as America’s Premier War Party

It used to be Republicans that were America’s premier war party. George W. Bush, Dick Cheney, John McCain, Lindsay Graham were their standard bearers in provoking, starting, prolonging devastating US warfare worldwide.

No more.

The Biden administration provoked Russia into a calamitous border war in Ukraine that threatens nuclear war on top of Ukraine’s descent into a failed state.

Biden’s 5th Gaza Veto in UN Makes Him an Ace… of Genocide

Nearly a thousand Palestinians were killed or wounded in Gaza Thursday after Israeli forces opened fire on people surrounding an aid convoy. The UN Security Council tried to pass a resolution condemning the massacre, but President Biden came to Israel’s defense with his fifth veto of Security Council votes to end Israeli genocide in Gaza.

Israel admitted they shot into the crowd all right, but it was the Palestinians fault for threatening Israeli soldiers and stampeding. First Israel starves the Palestinians fleeing US and Israeli bombs, then opens fire on them when they rush the food aid trucks.

Biden Needs Muzzle To Stop Reckless, Inflammatory Personal Attacks

Job 1 for any president is not to spew personal insults at world leaders to inflame delicate issues of war and peace.

At a campaign stop Wednesday, Biden called Russian President Vladimir Putin a “crazy SOB” (Son of a Bitch). Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov was much more circumspect in pushing back, saying, “Such boorish statements from the mouth of a US leader are hardly capable of hurting the head of another country in any way, much less President Putin. But it is a great shame for the country (US) itself,”

Biden knows better. He made that scurrilous remark to ramp up support for his reelection with voters who have largely abandoned him on his lost proxy war against Russia destroying Ukraine, and his enabling Israel’s genocidal ethnic cleansing of Gaza.
