gcreptile 10,963 Posted May 3 Russians enter US base in Niger: https://www.reuters.com/world/africa/russian-troops-enter-base-housing-us-military-niger-us-official-says-2024-05-02/ Niger had decided to switch allegiance. We're pretty much back to the 1970s, cold wars, proxy wars, two blocks fighting for countries. It still hasnt quite settled in that this is what Russia is doing, but that they are mostly running on empty. But they can succeed here and there because the West isn't quite willing to take up the fight. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Paul Bearer 6,099 Posted October 1 Might as well put it here in case some plonker decides to open a new thread for a potential WWIII threat. Isreal getting bombed by Iran. I reckon this is no more than a street fight and it will de-escalate in the next few days or so. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
