US Finds Christmas Spirit, Bombs Nigeria
The mainstream media breathlessly reports on right-wing activist Laura Loomer's joyful endorsement of US strikes in Nigeria as a 'mass killing' of 'Islamic terrorists.' Apparently, for some, Christmas is best celebrated with foreign interventions, particularly when they involve targeting specific religious groups. This isn't just about 'Trump supporters'—it's a consistent playbook. This 'resolve'
often appears just as conveniently as it did in 2003 with the 'shock and awe' in Iraq, or the endless 'war on terror' that redefined sovereignty. How quickly we forget that 'Islamic extremism' abroad often finds its roots in the instability wrought by prior Western interventions, creating the very monsters we then 'resolve' to bomb. One must ask which 'Islamic terrorists'—and whose
Christians—benefit from this particular brand of Christmas spirit. The cheer is deafening.
