The week's question

The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

msn.com - Russian military personnel move into airbase housing US troops

In a visible symbol of the decline of American influence in Niger, Russian troops have now moved into an installation near where American troops Niger has ordered to leave still remain.

According to Reuters, the base in question, Airbase 101, is near Diori Hamani International Airport in the capital of Niamey.

Weeks ago, Niger ordered U.S. troops to leave the country. The Biden administration has not yet pulled out its forces, which has led to accusations of ineptitude from Republican Rep. Matt Gaetz of Florida.

Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin downplayed any expectation of friction between U.S. and Russian troops, according to CBS News.

"The Russians are in a separate compound and don't have access to U.S. forces or access to our equipment,” he said.
