Trump Aid Cuts Kill More Christians Than Jihadists Do

[berg80]

My Times colleague Helene Cooper reported that in response to Trump’s threat, the United States military has drawn up options for intervening in Nigeria in three variations: light, medium and heavy. None seems likely to accomplish much except waste money — just as Trump’s forgotten campaign against Yemen in the spring squandered $1 billion in the first month alone and achieved nothing obvious.

Trump might also reflect that while jihadists have been unable to kill tens of thousands of Nigerian Christians, his own administration appears to be doing just that. The Center for Global Development in Washington calculated earlier this year that before Trump took office, American humanitarian aid was saving about 270,000 lives a year in Nigeria.

It’s too soon to predict confidently just how many Nigerian Christian children will die because Trump cut off their access to vaccines, AIDS medications, food assistance and other essentials. But the number killed by jihadists is very likely to pale beside the number dying from Trump aid cuts. So if Trump cares about Christians or anyone else in Nigeria, all he needs to do is restore aid and let babies live.

This is one of those times when the understandable prohibition against posting too much of an article due to copyright infringement concerns is very frustrating. The full article gives a lot of context to the conclusion that has gone missing. But I think you get the point.

the point that the NYTimes is a lying bird cage rag? Yes.

Not being a christian myself doesn't mean I'm rooting for trump's aid cuts to kill them. Some of my best friends..............................

I have great news for President Trump!

He has expressed such outrage at attacks on Christians in Nigeria that he has threatened military intervention there, and the Pentagon has obligingly prepared plans for attack. Trump’s concern for Nigerians is welcome, but here’s the awkwardness: Trump’s aid cuts are killing far more Nigerian Christians than Islamic terrorists are.

So if Trump wants to save the lives of Nigerian Christians, the good news is that he doesn’t need to spend billions of dollars on charging (as he put it) “into that now disgraced country, ‘guns-a-blazing.’” Rather, all Trump has to do is restore the American aid that was estimated to be saving the lives of more than a quarter-million Nigerians each year.

Begging the question, what's really behind the lies the regime is telling about the deaths of christians in Nigeria?

Here is a list of the taxpayer dollars given Nigeria over the past decade....

2015 – $446 million
2016 – $543 million
2017 – $643 million
2018 – $877 million
2019 – $761 million
2020 – $880 million
2021 – $922 million
2022 – $974 million
2023 – $1 billion
2024 – $783 million

Why are taxpayers on the hook for this? and When is enough enough?

I wonder how much (how little) of that money actually went to help hungry and sick Nigerians, rather than enriching the leaders.

My guess is very little, but they sure can tell you about the LGBTQIA+++ bullshit.

 

[Seymour Flops]

Yeah.

Trump put a stop to funding that?

What's the problem, berg80?

Those are legitimate questions obfuscating trump's hypocrisy.

So, answer the question....there's no obfuscation there, other than your failure to address the facts.

Sorry, are facts distracting from your "Orange Man Bad!" thread?

What's the problem, @berg80?

AI Overview

Estimates vary, but a study published in The Lancet projects that over 14 million people worldwide could die by 2030 due to USAID cuts, including 4.5 million children under 5. Other estimates suggest that millions more could die each year in Africa alone due to the halt of specific programs, with one source projecting that aid cuts could lead to millions of additional deaths from diseases like HIV and malaria.

Is trump concerned with the lives of christians in Africa or not?

 

[berg80]

What facts?

 

[berg80]

Past aid amounts do not address trump's hypocritical position of concern for the lives of christians while causing their deaths by cutting off aid.
