I'm sure people here have heard it happened like 2 weeks ago but some new information , and old information that is relevant is just now being discovered.
The country of Chad ties into this. For years Chad and America have been working very closely on counter terrorism . Chad is surrounded by countries like Nigeria , Niger, and Libya which all have active terrorist cells.
Suddenly out of nowhere Donald Trump adds Chad to his updated Travel Ban list. Hurt and confused Chad pulled it's military out of Niger and away from the fight against Boko Haram. The information coming out now suggests that there was 2 specific Chad regiment of soldiers that regularly participated in missions with U.S. Special forces and they left. About a week after they leave 4 U.S. Special Ops soldiers are ambushed and killed as they rode in unarmored vehicle probably by emboldened Boko Haram fighters
From this we see Trump's travel ban having a real negative affect on U.S. relationships
The story gets even bigger however , nobody here in America knew we had special ops forces in Niger (don't know why the surprise America has military bases literally everywhere ) questions are starting to arise. Apparently the Soldiers were told they weren't riding into hostile territory (America usually does drone surveillance that flies ahead and let's soldiers know what's coming ) . They weren't riding in an armored vehicle. And we know one soldier lit his distress beacon and happened to be the only soldier that got left behind they came back for his body 2 days later .
People are asking why we had these special ops soldiers there and so unequipped which shouldn't happen because Green Berets are one of the few U.S. Military groups trained to live off the land and fight. Almost like a guerilla fighter.
Another interesting twist: back in August Russia signed a military deal with Niger. Niger is the 4th largest producer of Uranium (nuclear material ) and now they have a Syria type relationship with Russia . Russia provides military support for Syria and gets cheap oil in return. Russia provides military support for Niger and gets cheap Uranium in return.
If you're wondering where I'm going with this it's now being speculated that Donald Trump collaborated with the Russians on a military op involving those 4 U.S. special forces , one of them actually was a Nuclear Science Expert . We know it ended badly for the 4 U.S. troops at first the media tried to claim a French Military airlifted the U.S. soldiers out but they are now saying it was a private security contractor that was there with the troops. That wouldn't happen to be Erik Prince's people founder of Blackwater mercenary group , and best buds with both Putin and Trump, would it?
This could be far worse for trump than Benghazi ever was for Obama. Also who else notices Russia's aggressive expansion into Africa ? Niger, Nigeria, and just a week or 2 ago Russia made an offer to the SFG in Mogadishu they basically said they'll take care of Al Shabab but what does Somalia have that Russia wants in return ?
