Yes, dear AHH, I did notice the flags are very similar.

The deep red of the Russian flag (they have been using this flag since the 17th century) combined with the saffron from the Indian flag (1947), would perhaps give us the reddish colour in Niger’s flag.

There are also similarities between the flags of Russia, France, Netherlands and others.

Forwarded from Rybar :
The American transgender Sara Ashton-Cirillo is the new speaker of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, who has become the representative for a foreign audience. We thought it was a joke, but the appointment was proudly confirmed by Ukrainian resources.

Mr. Cirillo became Sarah only in 2019, and before that, he was Michael John. At the beginning of the SMO, a liberal trans activist from Nevada came to Ukraine as a military blogger to “document the terrorist attacks committed by the Russians.”

Then he joined the ranks of the Armed Forces of Ukraine and was sent to one of the territorial defense brigades, receiving the rank of junior sergeant. Now, Ashton-Cirillo will officially cover what is happening at the front for a Western audience and oversee the English-language project of territorial defense.

In the United States itself, from where Cirillo arrived in Nezalezhnaya (the Ukraine), transgenders in the army have long been no surprise. There are now about ten thousand transgender military personnel in the service and in the reserve. In one of his first decrees, Joe Biden lifted the ban on their admission to the ranks of the armed forces, and now Admirals do not hesitate to come to official events in skirts.

And not so long ago, on the official Twitter account of the US Department of Defense, they shared a story of Cyber ​​Commander Major Rachel Jones, a transgender woman who has struggled with depression and suicidal thoughts all her life.
They now have the officers they deserve.

The military presence of Western allies in Niger is facing unprecedented challenges following a military coup in the West African nation last week.

France, which withdrew its military presence to Niger after the coups in Mali and Burkina Faso, and the US, which constructed its largest base for unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) in Niger, are now witnessing a level of threat in the Sahel region.

US Defense Department officials said all military flights have been suspended from Air Force Base 201, which is located near the central Niger city of Agadez. AFB 201 is the main unmanned base of the US 409th Air Expeditionary Force, costing more than $110 million, it is considered the largest construction project ever undertaken by the US Air Force. Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (ISR) MQ-9 Reaper drone flights began at the base in 2019.

Spread across 25 square kilometers, the base accommodates a comprehensive fleet of UAVs and unmanned combat aerial vehicles (UCAV) and, including MQ-9 Reaper and C17 transport planes.

With a total of 1,000 troops in Niger, the US military is currently unable to conduct flights from the base due to airspace restrictions following the coup.

US defense officials said the military rebels in Niger had suspended all military flights from Air Base 201, located near the city of Agadez in central Niger.

“Putin’s mysterious message to Kim Jong-un has been decoded”

1. Russia is quite disposed to stop complying with UN sanctions against Pyongyang
2. Russia will help the DPRK where it is lagging behind, for example, in aviation and the aviation industry.
3. Russia will remove all sanctions and restrictions on attracting hard-working, qualified and disciplined North Korean labour
4. Russia can invite units of the North Korean special forces and regular troops that have performed well in Africa (North Korea has signaled that it can send 100 thousand fighters plus tactical units) who need combat experience in modern warfare to take part in military operations in Ukraine
5. Moscow may ask Pyongyang to sell ammunition for artillery-barrel, mortar and rocket, cartridges of various calibers, helmets and bulletproof vests

The war between Russia and Ukraine is no longer a war between two countries. This is a platform where the collective West is at war with Russia. Ukraine is much weaker than Russia and would have been crushed long ago if it had not been actively helped by 30 NATO countries led by the United States and the same number of non-NATO states with an inexhaustible flow of weapons, intelligence, billions of dollars, military personnel, not to mention a huge army of mercenaries.

The Western technology of piling on a single enemy en masse must be vigorously countered. If we are brought to our knees to be destabilized, dismembered, and destroyed, others will follow the same pattern. North Korea, first of all. Therefore, Putin definitely suggested that Kim Jong-un actively make friends and cooperate, helping each other without regard to the West, which considers both Moscow and Pyongyang its enemies and “outcasts”.

If earlier Moscow had some illusions about this, now they are definitely not. Pyongyang has never had them. Only a united Eurasia consisting of strong, sovereign, and cooperative states will win the West. It is Putin, apparently, and wrote to Kim Jong-un. In wars, you need to win, if necessary – “in one trench”.
