Coup in Niger

A military coup has removed the President of Niger.

It remains to be seen how this will affect the fight against Islamists in the Sahel region, or how it will affect US and French forces in Niger, but it does not look positive to me. The Wagner Group seems rather happy, which also does not seem like a net positive.

Your idea is very similar to the LHC doctrine on foreign policy. I can’t explain it all here, as I would need charts, graphs and one of those little red light pointer thingies. But trust me, it’s a lucid, well thought out strategy. To summarize: Regarding much of the African AO, it requires many miles of fencing material. We basically build a large match cage, then drop in all the machetes from the Hutu and Tutsis civil war and let the current contestants sort it out. Of course plausible deniability is preferred in these situations whenever possible. One possible scenerio: We insert a select few of the female Team USA soccer players as American good will ambassadors. Lighting up the the blue hair also would make an excellent mark for the drop point. I know that some people will cry foul at this relatively low cost yet indiscriminate solution. But you can’t make an American omelet without breaking a few foreign eggs.

As you can imagine, this lengthy white paper is very complex. Each world theatre needs to be treated with local understanding and nuance. For example, the policy addresses a large swath of the Middle east area with a more Oppenheimer like approach. As this is a U.S. doctrine, it goes without saying there will also be a large reconstruction effort afterwards. Centering primarily around a very competitive glass making industry.



The above BS is actually a test. In the not too distant future, I am going to use AI to try and find the LHC foreign policy proposal. I will then attempt to cross reference and weave it in with other actual policy searches enough times that it will become embedded in all future AI generated bibliographies and notations regarding our country’s approach to strife around the world.


I am probably not a bot. Yet.

Given how often journalistic info-ops - seeded initially via 2nd tier off-shore outlets - make their pre-destined way into "breaking news" this idea really has legs. You get this into the hands of the Next-Gen Rices and Nulands and you can just sit back and play Coach, since you're already building in the counter-counter-AI capability. Me gusto.
