Trump Finds His Next Battlefield: Nigerian Christians, Not US Poverty
Donald Trump recently threatened military action in Nigeria over alleged killings of Christians, as reported by RT. (Because where else would one find groundbreaking foreign policy takes?) This sudden moral outrage from a candidate who once praised dictatorships conveniently ignores the decades of U.S. foreign policy failures, drone strikes, and military 'aid' that often destabilize regions,
creating the very vacuums extremist groups exploit. Perhaps the former president has simply run out of convenient domestic scapegoats. One might wonder about the timing. Could it be that an election year magically sharpens focus on distant humanitarian crises, especially those that fit certain narrative frameworks? It’s not about actually solving complex regional conflicts, is it? It's about
sounding 'tough' and 'decisive' for an audience back home, projecting strength while conveniently ignoring the actual consequences of such interventions, which rarely include peace or stability for the local populations.
