I thoroughly enjoy the varied repartee on wide subjects. It’s an education and a helpful tool every evening when I tune in.

12. Definitely the best news aggregator as well, IMO.

If someone tells me about something they've heard in the news, I usually already know more than they do about it. If I have to look it up, it's usually a fake story from the RWNJ's.

Glad I wasn't drinking anything when I read that, I would hate to explain that to the school as to why I need a new monitor.

Wondering if this has showed up on their "real time news" and what the intelligent convo sounds like? Another Brandon unconditional surrender.  :banghead:

US to withdraw from Niger after security pact fails in strategic victory for Russia

The US will withdraw more than 1,000 military personnel from Niger in a move that will force the Biden administration to rethink its counter-terrorism strategy and amounts to a strategic victory for Russia.

The decision comes a month after the west African country’s ruling military junta revoked a security pact with Washington that had allowed American forces on its soil to help fight jihadist terrorism.

The withdrawal, expected to occur over the coming months, will mean the closure of a US drone facility, known as Base 201, at Agadez in the Sahara that was opened in 2018 at a cost of $110m.

The base, one of the main US drone facilities in Africa, has been used in operations against jihadist groups in the Sahel region and was reportedly the launchpad for a series of deadly strikes against Islamic State fighters in Libya in 2019.
Since the coup, Niger’s new leaders have pursued closer ties with Russia, mirroring neighbouring Mali and Burkina Faso, where Russian military forces have established a presence.

Just days after the arrival of Russian military equipment and advisers in the country, thousands of protesters gathered in the Nigerien capital, Niamey, last week to demand the withdrawal of American forces.
