Trump tells Department of Defense to 'prepare for possible action' in Nigeria
Source: NBC News
President Donald Trump on Saturday said he has instructed the Defense Department to prepare for possible action in Nigeria over the countrys alleged killing of Christians.
If the Nigerian Government continues to allow the killing of Christians, the U.S.A. will immediately stop all aid and assistance to Nigeria, and may very well go into that now disgraced country, guns-a-blazing, to completely wipe out the Islamic Terrorists who are committing these horrible atrocities, Trump wrote on social media.
If we attack, it will be fast, vicious, and sweet, just like the terrorist thugs attack our CHERISHED Christians! WARNING: THE NIGERIAN GOVERNMENT BETTER MOVE FAST! Trump added.
Trumps announcement comes a day after he categorized Nigeria as a country of particular concern, a designation the U.S. gives countries the government deems as engaging in particularly severe violations of religious freedom. Other countries on the list include China, Cuba and North Korea.

I remember during the election when Trump voters claimed Kamala was a war monger and that Trump would get us out of foreign wars. No doubt they now make excuses for his endless wars.

We more and more are not wanting to be the policemen of the world, Trump said during a joint press conference with Nigerian President Muhammadu Buhari.
Were spending tremendous amounts of money for decades policing the world, and that shouldnt be the priority, he said. We want to police ourselves and we want to rebuild our country. And the president understands that.{mosads}
Trump ran on the promise that he would extricate the U.S. from foreign wars.

(1,514 posts)Now we want to get involved in Nigeria? How exactly is that going to build trust in a continent in which most countries at best are very skeptical of the West due to past history? Something tells me it is more than just supposed "Christian persecution" in Nigeria. Most countries in West and Central Africa don't have stable governments or are in some sort of military junta/dictatorship.

(699 posts)trump is doing what netanyahu is doing, trump's trying to start a war to stay out of prison/court. netanyahu and his wife were about to get indicted before he started the was on Gaza which has been going of for over two years, Oct 7, 2023 with no end in site. If trump makes up a fake war he wants to stay in the position of president. trump might even suspend elections which will enable his enablers, the republican party, to stay in power and he can stay in the position of the "imperial president". Who will keep him from staying on(?) after all there's the made up saying that a ''president can't loose their job during a time of war". trumps win on this cause would only mean more trumpism followed by vanceism, our country might not be able to survive us evilness...

He fully (and loudly) expected that after we illegally invaded Iraq, we should have taken their oil as payment for that war crime.

And there is the local Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant/ISIL faction known as Islamic State West Africa Province/ISWAP.
Then there is the continuing battles between farmers and herders in northern and central Nigeria, the herders are militant Fulani Moslems Vs mostly Christian farmers.
