Not another one. As I have repeatedly warned my readers, leaders all over the globe seem to have come down with a really bad case of war fever. Instead of sitting down and attempting to find solutions through diplomacy, many of our leaders seem quite eager to use military force to settle matters these days.
There is no peaceful end to the war in Ukraine on the horizon, China is making preparations to invade Taiwan, and the “shadow war” in the Middle East could easily erupt into a full-blown regional conflict. But in this article I am going to focus on the next war that is reportedly about to begin.
A group of nations in western Africa known as ECOWAS is preparing to invade Niger with the approval of the EU and the Biden administration, and CNN is reporting that “D-Day” has already been chosen…
The West African regional bloc ECOWAS says it has chosen an undisclosed “D-Day” for a possible military intervention to restore Niger’s democratically elected president following last month’s coup.
Abdel-Fatau Musah, the Commissioner for Political Affairs, Peace & Security of the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) bloc, said that military forces are “ready to go anytime the order is given” for military intervention in Niger.
“The D-day is also decided, which we are not going to disclose,” Musah told journalists after the two-day meeting of West African defense chiefs in the Ghanaian capital of Accra.
Musah went on to ominously declare that his alliance will not put up with any more coups in Niger and that they are “putting a stop to it at this time”…
The commissioner said the bloc had decided that the “coup in Niger is one coup too many,” for the region, adding that there will be no further meetings of ECOWAS defense chiefs on the issue.
“We are putting a stop to it at this time,” Musah said in his concluding remarks.
But what most people in the western world don’t realize is that there is a lot more to this story than we are being told.
For decades, puppet politicians have allowed wealthy western nations to greatly exploit Niger. It has vast quantities of gold and uranium, but the vast majority of the population of Niger continues to live in complete and utter poverty.
This is why the coup is so popular in Niger. The population is sick and tired of being raped by France, and now the French are deeply concerned that they may no longer be able to exploit their former colony…
A powerful undercurrent of the military coup in Niger is anti-French sentiment emerging from a sense that Niger has been exploited by its former colonial master France. Supporters of the coup have protested at the French embassy and otherwise attacked French interests in Niger.
One particularly prominent complaint has to do with French use of Niger’s rich resources, especially gold and uranium, while Niger remains one of the poorest nations in the world. France’s President Emmanuel Macron, who is fresh off the heels of riots and an uprising in Paris largely perpetrated by immigrants from France’s former colonies, has warned Niger against any attack on France’s interests.
Of course you won’t hear any of this on the corporate news networks.
They will just tell you that the coup leaders are bad and the upcoming invasion is good.
And so that is what most people will believe.
By the way, did you know that the U.S. currently has more than 1,000 troops in Niger?…
The United States has 1,100 troops in Niger, where it has spent hundreds of millions of dollars training security forces to battle terrorist organizations. Niger is a critical part of America’s overall counter-terrorism strategy, especially given the rise of Islamist extremist groups in Africa.
Why did we need to have so many troops there?
Sadly, it seems like we have troops almost everywhere.
Ultimately, the U.S. military is used to keep “order” all over the world, and that often means protecting western economic interests.

Meanwhile, we have just learned that the Netherlands and Denmark have agreed to provide Ukraine with F-16 fighter jets…
The Netherlands and Denmark will provide Ukraine with much sought-after F-16 aircraft in an agreement hailed by President Volodymyr Zelensky as “historic.”
Kyiv has urgently been calling on its Western allies to provide F-16 jets, as its slow-moving counteroffensive is hampered by Russian air superiority.
Speaking at a joint press conference with Zelensky at Eindhoven airport, Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte said his country would “commit to delivering F-16 aircraft to Ukraine” once “the conditions for such a transfer have been met.”
Zelensky has wanted F-16s for a long time.
Now he is going to get them.
Both sides just continue to escalate the conflict in Ukraine, and this is going to be such a huge story in the months ahead.
On the other side of the world, it appears that the Chinese military has been systematically practicing for an invasion of Taiwan…
The Chinese People’s Liberation Army (PLA) Eastern Theatre Command has released a provocative video showing troops practicing a coastal invasion of Taiwan. The video first appeared on the social media site WeChat Thursday, and features waves of PLA soldiers storming beaches, including armored vehicles and tanks driving into attack positions.
The clip didn’t specifically name Taiwan, but given the Eastern Theatre Command oversees the Taiwan Strait area, it’s being widely interpreted as a warning and threat aimed at the self-ruled island which is backed by the West.
The moment that China launches such an invasion, the U.S. and China will be at war.
We are living at a time of wars and rumors of wars, but most people in the western world don’t understand any of the things that I just shared with you.
In fact, most of our young people would have a really difficult time even finding Niger, Ukraine or Taiwan on a blank map of the world. But eventually conflict will arrive on our doorstep too, and then everyone will be paying attention…

What Would You Do If Pharmacies Couldn’t Provide You With Crucial Medications or Antibiotics?
The medication supply chain from China and India is more fragile than ever since Covid. The US is not equipped to handle our pharmaceutical needs. We’ve already seen shortages with antibiotics and other medications in recent months and pharmaceutical challenges are becoming more frequent today.
Our partners at Jase Medical offer a simple solution for Americans to be prepared in case things go south. Their “Jase Case” gives Americans emergency antibiotics they can store away while their “Jase Daily” offers a wide array of prescription drugs to treat the ailments most common to Americans.
They do this through a process that embraces medical freedom. Their secure online form allows board-certified physicians to prescribe the needed drugs. They are then delivered directly to the customer from their pharmacy network. The physicians are available to answer treatment related questions.
Would love to see Niger engage a massive preemptive strike against ecowas. An all blitzkrieg!
Why do we keep screwing around with China as it relates to defending Taiwan? We need to plant two carrier groups in the Strait with so many ships that you could walk from mainland China to Taiwan on the decks of the ships. China’s amphibious invasion would be sunk before it would ever got started. Helicopter gunships, A-10’s, etc. would lay waste to China’s hardware trying to cross the Straits. We would take out their land based missile batteries in a day or two. Any Chinese aircraft would be shot out of the sky by our F-22’s and F-35’s and the Chi-com pilots would never even see their adversaries. It would be quite a show.
Thank you, General Armchair.
Naval warfare genius are you!
Yes, park ships in close and tight nothing untoward could happen at all.
Answer: because we WANT a war there, a permanent ceasefire like Korea. To keep selling them weapons in exchange for their tech.
Guess you have never heard of anti-cruise missiles…good idea to line the ships up nice and neat for efficient destruction. The US has no business over there
You really don’t know crap and are oblivious of Naval doctrine and warfare tactics, Yeah, pack all those ships next to each other and you will sea how easy is to destroy them in an attack. You are also ignorant of the Chinese military might and technology. Let tactics and planning
to the US profesional Admirals and Generals. Just sit in your basement eating your popcorn
and watch the real experts develop this war theater.
Why don’t they set up Sovereign Wealth Funds in those countries? Hello? Even recently in Guyana (next to Venezuela) they set up a SWF after discovering huge oil reserves! They didn’t want to happen there what happens to so many other former colonies. And look at the Arab countries, how they used SWFs to advance! Helllllooooooo
WTF is France doing? WTF does the British Commonwealth do?
I know, they NEED arms exports in exchange for natural resources. Color revolutions and civil wars breed more weapons sales. Deal 👹🤑🤡🤬🍦🍦🍦
Sadly, since Obama’s plans and Biden’s execution of those plans, hatched in the minds of Marxists wanting to get rich while taking the US down with an imposed DNC neverending future… the United States of America is no longer on the right side of history, nor a decent nor moral people. We have devolved into a DC swamp of perverted people pushing their degenerate culture upon the world. I wrote Eric Holder after returning to the US from spending 12-years overseas with DOD and the Foreign Service, and 22 of the last 32 years overseas in service to the Country to tell him I would never have fought, served to defend or worked for a Federal Government so power corrupt, so financially corrupt in plain view in the very people running the State Department and DOJ. That I did not recognize this nation in June of 2010.
Niger needs to join NATO.
These wars are going to be different, Not for resources but for “control”. China, with the help of the Bidens is on their way to control all energy and food with their large land grabs. We’re in WW3 but Americans just don’t know it!
China is making preparations to invade Taiwan, ” Oh really? So tell me, where do they have their invasion force hiding? And if there isn’t piece in Ukraine is because the U.S. has declared war on Russia. You have NO CLUE what’s going on around the world. But if you find war, you bet your a$$ the U.S. is hip deep in it.
I laughed when I saw the Taiwan invasion fairy tail. Both the Peoples Republic of China and the Republic of China (Taiwan) recognize that they are the same country. Only recent US meddling (Obumboy’s pivot to Asia) has created the tension that exists today. Xi has set re-unification for the mid 2040s and there is popular support in Taiwan for that. Neither the PRC nor the current opposition parties in the RofC want a war.
“President Tsai Ing-wen’s four commitments:
The commitment to a free and democratic constitutional system;
—The commitment that the ROC (Taiwan) and the PRC should not be subordinate to each other;
—The commitment to resist annexation or encroachment upon our sovereignty;
—The commitment that the future of the ROC (Taiwan) must be decided in accordance with the will of the Taiwanese people.”

This is the “hard-liner” the US has been pushing. If he is really committed to a “free and democratic system”, why not hold a referendum to determine “the future of the ROC (Taiwan) must be decided in accordance with the will of the Taiwanese people.”
It’s not just leaders who have the fever. And it’s not “war fever”. I grieve for the loss of “SANITY” in the world. Too many people tried to DEAL with the insane and, as a result, have become insane themselves. Guard yourself against the insanity iks my advice…
Nuking Taiwan would solve that problem.
Who s going to fly those F16s?
