Russia
Russia has come out to say they support Democratic govt and won't be involved in the coup, whatever thing you say outside that is your opinion and not from the horses mouth.

BTW, why do I keep reading your moniker as kryptonite? grin

Burkina Faso and Mali are also in ECOWAS/ecomog.
Burkina Faso and Mali declared support for Niger Military. They warned that Any military intervention against Niger would be tantamount to a declaration of war against Burkina Faso and Mali. They are pulling out of ECOWAS

both Mali, Niger and Burkina faso military strength combined is not half of Nigerians military strength, now imagine what the entire west Africa could do to them.
I don't think they will be stupid enough to join Niger, it is better to just remain neutral

Your number 2 is DOA.

The main reason boko Haram and bandits still exist today is because there are elements in the Nigerian army who are sympathetic with their cause.

Boko Haram is political and not just tribal sentiment, same with every other terrorist group like Al Queda

Thank you, there is no war. ECOWAS is going in to dislodge and arrest the coup plotters, ECOWAS have that authority.
Lol. ECOWAS will just stroll into Niger, give the coup plotters dirty slaps and arrest them.

These children watch too much movies.

Algeria supporting Niger is only what you think and not what will happen either.

What will happen is that AU, ECOMOG, USA and France are on same boat while Niger, Mali and Burkina faso are on the other boat.
Now do the math

War is not just about military strength. War is much more complex than that. America has the strongest military on earth and yet they failed in Afghanistan. As strong as Russia is militarily when compared to Ukraine, Russia is being messed up in Ukraine as we speak.

If war breaks out between Nigeria and Niger today, it's not going to be about Nigeria and Niger alone. Both Nigeria and Niger have visible and invisible Allies that have their own personal interets to advance. These Allies will also join the war one way or the other.

See, my brother, please pray that u may never experience a war in your lifetime.

Methuselah calm down, war against Niger means that Nigeriens and their national assets will be targeted, in this case, the target is the coupist. It makes no sense saying ECOWAS wants to fight war with Niger, the coupists are illegitimate.

The war between Afghanistan doesn't affect USA, it only affects the Afghanistans, the war between Russia and Ukraine only happens in Ukraine territory while Russia territory is calm, Russia is trying to conquer while Ukraine is defending her territory.

If Ecowas goes to war with Niger, the fight will only happen in Niger and the difference between this and Ukraine war is that, while the Junta forces are defending against Ecowas, they should also be prepared for counter coup that will overthrow them, which will most likely happen, they can't afford to fight two different wars

I do not think, I simply present facts that can be verified by Algerians medias

let us assume Algeria will join, will that change anything? Having AU and ECOWAS is already an overkill, adding France and USA is unthinkable.
It is Niger that will suffer, the coupists better rethink this
