Trump Finds 'Christian Persecution' Convenient When There's Oil Involved
President Trump, according to NPR, warns of deploying U.S. forces to Nigeria, dramatically accusing its government of 1 'failing to stop Islamist attacks on Christians.' The Nigerian president dismisses this as a misrepresentation of reality, a detail quickly glossed over. This isn't newfound evangelical fervor; this is the classic 'savior' complex that always seems to find its way to
resource-rich nations. Nigeria, Africa's largest oil producer, has long been a strategic interest, not a humanitarian project, for the West. Odd, isn’t it, how 'Christian persecution' becomes a casus belli only when it aligns with geopolitical interests, or perhaps, for a politician whose rallies regularly feature 'America First' rhetoric yet conveniently ignores the impact of destabilizing
interventions? One might recall similar pronouncements preceding... well, pick a nation with oil. What about the millions of Christians suffering elsewhere, or the persecution of other faiths that doesn't quite fit the interventionist agenda? Perhaps it's just a coincidence that the nation targeted for 'help' sits on substantial crude reserves.
