Trump threatens to launch attacks in Nigeria over ‘killing of Christians’

[el midgetron]

I hope we go in there and wipe these terrorists out. Obviously, the HAMAS supporting crowd will not approve.

“US President Donald Trump has threatened to carry out attacks in Nigeria in response to purported anti-Christian violence, saying he instructed the recently renamed Department of War to “prepare for possible action”.

In a social media post on Saturday, Trump said the United States would immediately cut off all assistance to the African country “if the Nigerian Government continues to allow the killing of Christians”.”

If the U.S. goes into southern Nigeria (where most of the Christians reside), it will not be fast and sweet. It will be vicious though. The U.S. will be up against guerilla warfare with religious fanatics. We were bogged down in Afghanistan for 20 years, in essentially desert country and never changed it. In Nigeria it will be jungle and swamp warfare. In Vietnam, we were bogged down from 1955 (advisors initially) to 1973. In jungles the enemy isn't just the enemy fighter who can be hidden just a few feet from you, its various venomous snakes, Nile Crocodiles, hippos, leopards, hundreds of species of biting ants, and of course, mosquitoes, endless mosquitoes. Many of the people there reside in depressing poverty.
What the U.S. should do is give the Christian population large amounts of weapons and munitions along with a good deal of training. All men and women of fighting age need to be highly trained and have U.S. military advisors with them in the conflict.

It will be air strikes and cruise missiles. No boots on the ground.

While I agree with the overall concept here, I support the US military making quick work of these Islamists.

Everyone deserves a gun.

Speculation. That was 4 days ago. Trump’s threats are not an announcement of a surprise attack.

As to this sudden, and very cynical concern about the Christian population.
Christians were not a demonstrated concern when Yugoslavia broke up and Christians were bombed to benefit Islamic forces.
Christians were not a demonstrated concern when Syria was handed over to Al Qaeda head choppers who immediately took to killing them.
Christians were not a demonstrated concern when funding the IDF as it targeted churches in Lebanon, Syria, Gaza, and the West Bank. During services no less.
Oil
Southern Nigeria is where the oil is. That this is where the Christians are is happenstance.

Obama’s Bloody Hands: The U.S. Role in Nigeria’s Crisis and USAID’s Funding of Terrorists — Africa Arise is the founder of Arise Academies serving Nigerian IDP camps

For more than a decade, Nigeria has endured one of the world’s worst humanitarian crises—millions displaced, thousands killed, and Christian communities wiped off the map. The country’s Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs), most of them women and children, live in squalid camps, forgotten by the world. What remains unknown to most is that this was not an inevitable tragedy—it was engineered.

Under President Barack Obama, U.S. policy deliberately weakened Nigeria, enabling Boko Haram to grow from a regional threat into one of the deadliest terrorist groups on earth. Even as Boko Haram bombed churches, schools, and the United Nations headquarters in Abuja, Obama’s State Department refused to classify the group as a terrorist organization for years. When Nigeria’s military begged for help, Obama blocked arms sales, pressured allies to do the same, and left Nigeria defenseless.

The result was catastrophic: entire communities were erased, and millions of Christians were driven into IDP camps, where many remain more than a decade later. But the betrayal didn’t end there.

USAID—an agency meant to provide humanitarian aid—has now been revealed as a key player in funding terrorist groups in Nigeria
