Trump Aid Cuts Kill More Christians Than Jihadists Do

[berg80]

You seriously argue that foreign aid to Nigeria should continue

?? I pointed out Dotard's deadly hypocrisy. That's all. Your inability to deal with it doesn't give you the right to make claims about what I said I didn't make.

Why are you hung up on the Christian thing?

 

[berg80]

I gave you facts.....inconvenient as always

They aren't so much inconvenient as they are immaterial to the thread. Why is that so difficult for you folks to understand?

You pointed out nothing of the sort. You made a vague accusation based on a minor variance in the vacuum between your ears.

Sometimes you can't win. Hypocrite lefties whine about the national debit and also whine when unregulated American taxpayer dollars aren't sent around the world to enrich foreign poverty pimps.

A radical theme of Jesus’ teachings, as the scholar Bart Ehrman notes in a forthcoming book, “Love Thy Stranger,” was his emphasis on empathy for all people, including strangers outside one’s circle. Some missionaries, nuns and aid workers live that principle; one such heroic figure, a missionary aid worker named Kevin Rideout, was recently kidnapped in Niger, where for 19 years he had committed himself to improving the well-being of local people. But chest-beating about a nonexistent Christian genocide strikes me as puerile and performative.

In any case, the number of killings in Nigeria — while tragic — pales beside the 400,000 people believed to have died in Sudan’s civil war over the last two and a half years. If Trump cares about atrocities in Africa, he should call up his friends and business partners in the United Arab Emirates and ask that country to stop financing the Rapid Support Forces militia responsible for mass murder and mass rape in Sudan.

There’s something else that I find offensive about the Trump/Hegseth bombast about Nigeria: If you care about religious repression of only your sect, you don’t really care about religious repression. Persecution of Christians, Muslims, Baha’is, Ahmadis and others is a global scourge and deserves more attention, but some of the most urgent cases today involve Rohingya Muslims in Myanmar and Uyghur Muslims in China.

What are you doing to help them?

You can’t even quote the Bible correctly

Your inability to support your BS claims says more.

Where are all these dead trannies in Nigeria?

Got any names?

No, you lied.

You don’t have the name of a single dead tranny in Nigeria.

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.

Why do you post from propaganda sites such as the ny times. They love to tickle peoples ears with lies and deceit. Is this really the best that you can do, berg? Really?

 

[Mac1958]

But I think you get the point.

You're talking about people who were fine with 500 tons of paid-for aid literally being burned when this order was issued.

The Dems liked the aid program. That means it had to die. No pun intended.

Its consequences? The overnight, abject surrender of our global soft power? Not a priority. Revenge on the Left is.

Covid Prog state reactions to the purposefully created crisis and to their minions proved that the killing of Christians is possible.
