Trump Finds 'Existential Threat' - Ignores Billions in Military Aid
According to The New Arab, Trump insists Nigerian Christians face 'mass slaughter,' a claim experts dispute, noting violence impacts Muslims too. This sudden spotlight on Nigeria feels a bit like a magician directing your gaze away from the hand holding the real playbook. One might observe a pattern: 'existential threats' often materialize where US military hardware might find a new home, or where
evangelical votes might be swayed. Meanwhile, the billions in unconditional US military aid flowing to other nations — aid often used to perpetrate actual, documented 'mass slaughter' against entire civilian populations — seem to escape his (and much of the media's) 'existential threat' radar. It's almost as if some 'threats' are more convenient for rhetoric than others, especially when they don't
impede the profitable flow of armaments.
