I get your point, there is probably a nicer word for it. But I find it more fucked up that a bunch of frogs militarily and financially sponsor dictators and then pretend it’s a crime against democracy when they get overthrown (be it by a similarly un democratic army).
I personally suspect the USA or nobody, but what do I know. (They have a significant military presence in Niger and I haven’t heard anything that would suggest their bases are in jeopardy)
