It’s getting crazy.

Police forcefully dragging protestors away from the front of the Knesset Building as Netanyahu’s extreme government goes ahead with the first stage of the judicial overhaul.
Wow. Aerial video of massive demonstration outside #Israel’s Knesset in Jerusalem. Nearly 100,000 out protesting Netanyahu’s Judicial overhaul plan amid historic split/crisis

With the victory, Netanyahu's supporters both in his cabinet and out, are vowing to go even farther (further!) and a whole shit-ton more reservists are going to resign from the reserves/IDF.  And a plenty of former defense/Mosad/etc. chiefs and leaders/generals are all saying "yeah, hey, this is a really bad idea, you're dividing the military".

Looking at all of the videos/photos of protests, what gets me is that this isn't one singular group that's pissed off - it seems to cut cross all demographics.

So, does the US do a preemptive strike, or wait to react? Are these regular Russian troops, or all Wagner mercs?

You would have to think that, and with what happened last time they pulled this shit. Knock out their AD, and circle three or four AC-130 gunships overhead, and there wouldn't be anything left but little sheriff meatballs.

We are on the side of ECOWAS, the deposed president, and not the Coup leaders. We have supported and fed Niger for quite some time. 

Agree that Wagner is going to do their usual shit, but that is what those fucker's do!. Look at Mali and Sudan.

Another layer is that france makes a large amount of their domestic power from nuclear energy. Niger is a former French colony and exports a lot of uranium to france. Kazakhstan and Russia are some of the other major suppliers of uranium. So in essence this is an extension of the energy war Putin is trying to play.

ECOWAS stated they will intervene in Niger by tomorrow if the President is not reinstated. 

 

The Niger situation is of quite a bit of interest to me because I have a really good friend here from Niger and the majority of his family is still there. I genuinely have an interest in Niger (Would like to travel there one day with him to see his homeland) and he has told me a lot about their history. His train collapse story is humorous when he tells it with his thick accent.

Niamey, NigerCNN — 

Niger’s armed forces have been bringing in reinforcements to the capital to prepare for a potential military intervention, a military source told CNN, just hours after the military junta running the countryrefused to abide by an influential regional bloc’s deadline to cede power.

A convoy of about 40 pick-up trucks arrived at nightfall on Sunday evening, bringing troops from other parts of the country to both reassure a nervous public and prepare for potential battle. 

Niger has been engulfed in political chaos since late last month, when President Mohamed Bazoum was ousted in a coup d’etat by the presidential guard. The Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) responded days later by enacting sanctions and issuing an ultimatum to the ruling military junta: stand down within a week or face a potential military intervention.

No matter what caused it, this will end very badly. 

The fighting in the west (Darfur) has been rough the past few weeks. 

Would not surprise me if this was a third group, like AQ who can thrive on the instability.
