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. https://www.reuters.com/world/middle-east/israels-netanyahu-discharged-hospital-reuters-witness-says-2023-07-24/

August 5, 20232 yr 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.

August 5, 20232 yr 4 hours ago, InkaUtexas said: 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.

August 7, 20232 yr 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. https://www.cnn.com/2023/08/07/africa/niger-coup-deadline-intl/index.html

August 26, 20232 yr 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.
August 26, 20232 yr https://www.cnn.com/2023/08/24/business/saudi-arabia-brics-invitation-intl/index.html Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates, Iran, Egypt, Ethiopia and Argentina were invited to join BRICS, forming BRICSSUIEE, pronounced "brick-sooey!"
August 26, 20232 yr Yeah, makes sense. All those countries are in the same economic category. I mean, Addis is just like Abu Dhabi right?
