Instead of sitting down and attempting to find solutions through diplomacy, many of our leaders seem quite eager to use military force to settle matters these days.  There is no peaceful end to the war in Ukraine on the horizon, China is making preparations to invade Taiwan, and the "shadow war" in the Middle East could easily erupt into a full-blown regional conflict.  But in this article I am going to focus on the next war that is reportedly about to begin.  A group of nations in western Africa known as ECOWAS is preparing to invade Niger with the approval of the EU and the Biden administration, and CNN is reporting that "D-Day" has already been chosen…

The West African regional bloc ECOWAS says it has chosen an undisclosed "D-Day" for a possible military intervention to restore Niger's democratically elected president following last month's coup.

Abdel-Fatau Musah, the Commissioner for Political Affairs, Peace & Security of the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) bloc, said that military forces are "ready to go anytime the order is given" for military intervention in Niger.

"The D-day is also decided, which we are not going to disclose," Musah told journalists after the two-day meeting of West African defense chiefs in the Ghanaian capital of Accra.

Musah went on to ominously declare that his alliance will not put up with any more coups in Niger and that they are "putting a stop to it at this time"…
