that was an interesting video - even though watso does not agree with all of the comments
conflicts are rarely about democracy/freedom - but more about resources/control (
and of course control of resources) ..
watso had no idea about the pipeline which was mentioned ..
EU looks to replace gas from Russia with Nigerian supplieshttps://www.reuters.com/world/africa/eu-looks-replace-gas-russia-with-nigerian-supplies-2022-07-23/one thing for sure is that france and america do not have troops in niger to protect democracy - but to protect self interests
it seems that not much benefit flows down to the plebs from niger - from their resources ..
the map was interesting - showing the relationships that russia has with so many african countries .. and no doubt the chinese are also moving in
so how many people will want to be evacuated from those areas ??

Western media have finally change course. They are now admitting that the much promoted Ukrainian counter-offensive has failed. In fact, the acknowledge that it never had a chance to win in the first place.
The Hill, theWashington PostandCNNnowagreethat the Ukrainian army will never achieve its aims.mmm still waiting for our abc to start reporting which is becoming increasingly obvious
also from the link
Even if they would manage to get a local breakthrough there are not enough reserves to push for the necessary follow up. Just one of the NATO trained brigades has still been held back. All others have been mauled in their various deployment zones.
the highlighted bit (a watso highlight) .. is interesting - because watso recalls comments on our abc - when the ukraine offensive stalled ..
mmm the ukrainians were probing - and then there was comment that the ukrainians had only used 3 brigades so far - and were ready to unleash another 9 - who had been training and preparing for action blah blah ...
there were 12 ukrainian brigades sitting on the wall..
if one should accidentally fall
then then then then blah blah
there would be two ukrainian brigades sitting on the wall
and if that brigade should accidentally fall ,,,
there would be one ukrainian brigade - sitting on the wall ..
looks like the ukes are down to that last brigade
.
