Stormtrooper11:Benefit from whose powers. How about standing on ur own, running your own show by urself. Damn, when they say the leaders we have in africa is a replica of the society, this guy is an example. Imagine having this guy as a leader in Africa, he will sell the country to outsiders. 1 Like |

Stormtrooper11:Alright, what is the drone base for in Niger? Y'all just underestimate Nigeria, you don't know how powerful Nigeria truly is. We are the largest black population in the world, so I can give an opinion that it is their primary intent. US initiated it, stop trying to romanticise it because us is involved. If Fran had truly given chad and the likes their independence, do you think that they will be the way they are now. See if Nigeria was in the same situation as us, we will do the same to protect our interest but when you know you're doing something bad and then you try to romanticise it because your other half of country is involved. 1 Like |

[quote author=Faithful007 post=121721693][/quote] Yes, they are constantly invading our airspace and monitoring what is going on in the North with drones without even assisting us in any way despite doing that. 4 Likes |

QuietMynd: Later when we buy from Rus, they will sanction us. Scammed the hell out of us, all the money gotten went to those righteous American politicians pockets so that they accept the bill. They claim we are corrupt but they are far worse than us, just that they have hundreds of years experience in hiding it in plain sight. 1 Like |

davefurn:U.S drones don't have the capacity to monitor airspace. That is the job of the E-3 (AWACS). Occasionally, the USAF has flown the Predator/RQ-A in Nigeria to provide surveillance data for the NAF whose aircraft aren't as advanced and are often out of service. The missions are often classified but that doesn't mean the Nigerian military isn't aware. The way you talk shows me you're just an internet analyst lacking knowledge about the true nature of military operations in Nigeria. The U.S.A.F. has assisted the NAF since the inception of BH/IS. The US Navy/ Coast Guard do organize joint drills to tackle piracy in West Africa. These things don't cost the U.S any significant amount and helps a great deal to maintain relations and support areas of mutual interest. Of course they benefit the US as well. Leaving terrorism to rise in Nigeria will be dangerous to western countries. Leaving piracy to rise will affect world shipping routes. 1 Like |

davefurn: No one mentioned Nigeria being insignificant. No one said that. If you had read my comment word for word, you'll had understood that I didn't even applaud the United States or anything. The primary intent of the United States in the sahel, like its intent of most of its foreign bases around the globe, is to counter the interests of its adversaries(China, Russia etc). Countering these interests can be done through numerous ways. E.g, in the Sahel, the United States claims they're aiding G-5 sahel nations to combat terrorism as part of its global war against terrorism, at the same time keeping an eye on nearby Mali, Algeria(which is an adversary to its ally, Morocco), Libya(which have Russian supported leadership), etc. The primary intent of the base might no be for spying on Nigeria but in an event of Nigeria countering American interest, it might be. For now, Nigeria might be secondary. Also, everyone knows that China has been very influential in the African continent since the beginning of the 21st century, so western powers would surely counter the Chinese influence. Present day, Nigeria has no capacity and will to push for a western withdrawal from the Niger, West Africa or the African continent at large in a Western controlled world order. Even if it was possible, the west African region would be easily destabilised because I don't see us having the ability to deploy and support West African states combating terrorism when we haven't even dealt with insecurity in our home country. Also, have you wondered what the States is going to spy on in Nigeria that can't be easily given to them by Nigerian assets? Military capability or what? I'd like to hear what you think would be spied on. |

Faithful007: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/General_Atomics_MQ-9_Reaper Atleast the first 5 lines should answer your question on airspace. Even Ukraine is enough evidence Point out when please? Even if i don't know, on the battlefield field thread; we are meant to be getting regular updates on that. On navy coast, because it benefits them, for the safety of their tankers especially when they traded oil with us Says who? on leaving terrorism on the rise, isn't chad and niger been the home-ground of terrorism, yet they are constantly seeking Nigeria's help. All your points are still the same romanticism, trying to justify what you are meant to condemn. 1 Like |

Stormtrooper11:You guys like to read so much meaning into something very simple. The main purpose of U.S military operations in Africa is to contain Jihadists. Any other thing having to do with China and Russia is a CIA objective and not primarily the US military. You do not use drones and aircraft to look for Chinese or Russian influence. You use them to track enemy fighters. You guys find this hard to believe because you don't understand how seriously the US takes jihadists. The US has jeopardized relationships with foreign countries in pursuit of the war on terrorism. Turkey a NATO ally wasn't even spared. 2 Likes |

Faithful007: You are aware that the CIA operates the Drone base at Dirkou Airport in Niger, right? I did not mention using drones to chase any influence. The presence of American physical military infrastructure in a foreign location alone is a physical extension of its foreign policies. Coming in to fight terrorism in the sahel or whatever they doing there is protecting American interest and countering its adversaries. The United States claims to take the war against terror seriously, even though they contributed massively to the growth of jihadists 7 Likes |
