How's the imminent Niger war spoken of in your country? (lemmygrad.ml)

Our party has spoken out against supporting a war in Niger and has expressed support for whoever is in charge right now.

Unsurprisingly, the BUT PUTIN NIGER WAGNER IMPERIALISM comments quickly found their way towards the posts.

The media makes it out to be of great importance that our allies and the West intervene in Niger, when two weeks ago most people couldn't locate Niger on a map if their life depended on it.

So, how important does your media think Niger is?

God, this makes me feel old.

In Brazil I hardly hear people talking about it, and when they do it's a sort of "ignorant sympathy" for the people there, even if they don't really care to learn what's happening. It's really hard to be foaming at the mouth here for intervention abroad when our national bourgeoisie won't even get any benefits from said intervention. Only people who seem to care about "upholding global democracy" are the weirdo Europhiles, but they hardly remember Africa exists in the first place.

It's more like Afghanistan than Ukraine because they can't even worry about all the blue eyes white children.
