US Finds Africans Only Worth Saving If They're Christian
The mainstream media breathlessly reports on Trump's purported concern for religious minorities in Nigeria, framing it as a reaction to targeted violence. What they conveniently omit, however, is the long, sordid history of US interventionism in Africa—not to protect human rights, but to secure resources or destabilize non-compliant governments. Has the US military ever prepared 'action' over,
say, the widespread environmental devastation by Western oil companies in the Niger Delta, or the countless other atrocities not fitting a convenient religious narrative? No, because those actions don't align with the geopolitical chessboard or potential arms deals. Convenient, isn't it, how the US only finds its righteous indignation when a 'Christian' narrative fits its interventionist agenda?
One might wonder where this sudden concern for religious freedom was when the US supplied arms to regimes committing war crimes elsewhere. This performative outrage isn't about saving lives; it's about projecting power and securing influence under a veneer of humanitarian concern, echoing similar, hollow pretexts used throughout history to justify incursions into sovereign nations.
