War firebrands Nuland and Blinken at work in Niger

While the US supports democratically elected governments and their leaders, it would be difficult to justify armed intervention unless a real threat to US national security exists.  US intervention would also seriously damage US credibility in Africa and elsewhere in the world as it would be seen as just another colonialist operation against a poor nation.  If it was carried out in partnership with France, it would even be worse.  Washington will have to make a decision: to line up with Blinken and Nuland, both interventionists, or act more sensibly and let Africans sort this out for themselves.

Kissinger not so bad after all?
