In international relations, every country prioritizes its own interests first. This is true for the US, Russia, and all nations.

Similarly, if you consider Russia as an ally, they too would prioritize their national interests. It's a common practice in geopolitics for countries to engage in alliances that serve their strategic objectives.


What does Africa have to offer Russia that Russia doesn't have already?

Hopefully the departure of the US and France will help end the menace by the Fulani bandits and Boko Haram. I believe that those two countries are financing insurgency in the region. We have heard reports of helicopters dropping off weapons inside the bush.

In 12 years they did not improve the security situation in Niger instead it became worse and you want Nigeria to take over a failure

Common sense is far from una.

This is a terrible news for northern Nigeria. The region will become very unsafe. This is the time Tinubu should request their presence in Nigeria. Give them a place in Yobe or Borno to replace what they had in Niger. It’s a very good opportunity for Nigeria

I'm very sure you don't even believe what you wrote. Because to compare Russia and USA is being disingenuous. They are not the same.

One is an imperialist, hegemonic power, the other is not.

You are naive if you think that America and France were there to help the countries in the region. I believe they are the ones sponsoring the bandits.

The annoyance of the Nigeriens is that with the US presence, the fight against Islamists hasn't been won. How can French soldiers fight Islamists yet have not defeated the terrorists? I have a Burkinabe friend; from what he told me, they were fed up with everything.

Wow. So you guys think that America and France were there to help fight insurgents. I believe they are the sponsors.

Are you ignorant or just against the US? International relations are changing. There's work being done, not perfect mind you, to create fairer partnerships.

Ever come across the African Growth and Opportunity Act (AGOA)? It's this initiative to open up the US market to eligible countries in Sub-Saharan Africa. These efforts are meant to boost economic growth and development that's beneficial for both sides. Are you aware of the amount of aid the US and other organisations send to Africa? You lot are still benefiting from free vaccines and such.
Look at Africa now, take Sudan as an example, they're reaping from the West, billions being sent.

As for the US's actions after World War II, the Marshall Plan for Europe and the backing of Israel were smart investments. They were motivated by a mix of humanitarian aid, economic self-interest, and strategic geopolitical factors during the Cold War. The US's dealings with Europe and Israel were shaped by the political climate of the era, including the aim to block the spread of communism and to form strong alliances in crucial areas.

How can you compare it to Africa nations which on the other hand, have been shaped by a completely different set of historical, political factors etc. It's a totally different situation.

The US is not sending any useful aid to Africa. Whatever so called aid they provide is for you to use in buying obsolete American military gadgets.

The US and France have no interest in fighting insurgency in the region. I suspect that they are actually the sponsors. Their only interest is in the Uranium and crude oil deposit in the region. But the naive ones like you think they mean well.

Fight insurgency ke, are they your country's millitary? Sponsor insurgency where it'll threaten their countrymen? What countries with American bases has issues with insurgency?

Anyway, I advocate for a base because of the development and the investment it would bring.

US will start sponsoring terrorists in Niger. A military coup will also be on the table.

Tougher times ahead for them.

Fighting guriella warfare is not a easy to win thing.

Russia, the USA, and even France and the UK can tell you that.

Islamic millitants have borrowed a lot from many of their predecessors in the game. IN particular, they have learned the lesson of war well. If you don't lose, you win. Wear down the enemy until he or she leaves. Swim among the population well, so that when the enemy uses his big guns, a lot of innocents will die, and you get useful propaganda, and so on.

Note that Islamic millitants, like many of their predecessors, don't rely much on frontal war. When they fight frontal war, they get thrashed heavily. SO, hit and run attacks, an IED Here....

That's why France cannot beat them...and why Rossiya would struggle to beat them too.

Unless you are prepared to kill hundreds of thousands of innocents, like the ancient warlords did....

Why was Russia able to suppress those terrorist is Syria within two years, only to find those terrorist being protected under US controlled territories in Syria

But China also closed itself to the west for centuries. When China opened up, it only restricted western trade and influence to a few port cities. China was at no time completely subjugated and overwhelmed by Western culture and influence.

The West had shown and still shows pure disdain and disregard for West Africa. Meanwhile we worship and adore them. We swallow all the insults and disdain with pride as long as they give us aid and Visa.

Please watch this interview by Harold Smith on why they handed power to the north through fraudulent elections and census. They prevent competent and patriotic leaders capable of developing the country from rising to power and promote mediocre and corrupt unpatriotic leaders, who bring their countries into ruin. This was the same situation all over west Africa.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2gSbMescYwc?si=1nd1g5TCnsz8x8df
The seeds of that fraudulent election and census remains with us till today, and are factors that will never allow Nigeria rise above its current mediocre state.

I decided to post the full interview to reveal the plans of the British for Nigeria at independence.
China closed itself to the west and remained poor.

They only started to get rich when they opened up and welcomed western investments.

I don't see what the argument is.
