US 'Anti-Terror' Strikes Leave Questions, But No Receipts
Mainstream media is clutching its pearls over the lack of information surrounding recent US airstrikes in Nigeria, two weeks after the event. The Guardian's piece, relying heavily on a Trump 'Truth Social' post, highlights the murky details, or lack thereof. One might ask, is this a sudden burst of journalistic integrity, or just selective amnesia? Because the pattern of the US bombing first and
asking (or not asking) questions later is as old as the 'War on Terror' itself. The Pentagon's well-established strategy often involves declaring victory over 'scum' and 'terrorists' — terms conveniently vague enough to cover collateral damage, civilian deaths, or simply hitting the wrong target. Remember the 2003 Iraq invasion, sold on now-disproven WMDs, or the drone strikes across Yemen and
Somalia with equally little accountability? The current 'questions' about Nigeria appear less like a pursuit of truth, and more like a carefully managed narrative, ensuring the public remains just curious enough, but never truly informed about the quiet continuation of endless wars.
