"As pressures increase and the risk of Earth's climate system switching to a catastrophic state rises, more and more scientists have begun to research the possibility of societal collapse."
😬 Read that twice!

Going all-in for Israel may make Biden complicit in genocide.

What's Happening in Niger?
Most Americans do not seem to pay attention to Africa much, but Africa, particularly Niger are huge exporters of important materials and play a crucial role in international politics. So what's going on?
- Last week a junta seized power from President Mohamed Bazoumin of Niger and has begun to detain senior politicians.
- This is the 7th military takeover of a Central or West African nation in the last 3 years alone.
- The European Union, U.S. and African Union have condemned the overthrow of President Mohamed Bazoum. The Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) have also imposed sanctions on Niger.
- France, who receives 15% of their Uranium imports from Niger, has begun to evacuate French and other European nationals from Niger.
- ECOWAS is now threatening the use of force if coup leaders do not reinstate President Bazoum within 7 days.
- The nations of Mali and Burkina Faso, however, who have also undergone coups in the last few years, are threatening to attack anyone who invades Niger. Guinea has also voiced support for the coup leaders.
- This pits multiple countries within Africa at different ends of a possible war, should tensions get out of hand.
- To make matters even more interesting, many of the pro-coup individuals in Niger have been waving Russian flags. Russia, however has condemned the actions of the coup-leaders and called on President Bazoum to be released immediately. On the other hand, the Wagner Group and boss Yevgeny Prigozhin have praised the coup-leaders.
Things are complicated. It's important to educate yourself on world affairs before tweeting out things as an uneducated person on the matter.
