#3 They already were involved. US had troops there. But the neocons are rather busy right now. Perhaps some other time.

#6 Though Washington has so far refused to characterize developments in the Nigerien capital of Niamey as a coup, the South African source confirmed that Nuland sought South Africa’s assistance in responding to regional conflicts, including in Niger, where she emphasized that Washington not only held significant financial investments, but also maintained 1,000 of its own troops. For Nuland, the realization that she was negotiating from a position of weakness was likely a rude awakening.

#7 How do we effectively balance French imperial interests against the vital American interest in Niger that no one can articulate? What if we dump all of the crappy surplus arms that weren’t good enough for European fighting on a random tarmac somewhere close to Niger. That way we don’t have to do any homework and still get to stimulate further cash flow into our Military Industrial Complex. That seems to be the only US interest that drives everything.
