US Promises Nigeria 'Solutions' It Already Tested in Afghanistan, Iraq
Al Jazeera correctly asserts that US airstrikes won't solve Nigeria's security woes, likely exacerbating them. What they don't highlight is that the Pentagon has perfected this particular 'solution' package: first, identify a local conflict; next, inject military hardware and 'advisors'; then, watch as the security situation degrades into a more complex, intractable war, ensuring continuous demand
for the same military hardware and 'advisors.' It's a business model, not a peace plan. Just ask the people of Afghanistan or Iraq, where two decades and trillions of dollars later, 'security' remains a cruel joke. This isn't about solving crises; it's about perpetuating a lucrative cycle where US defense contractors, generously funding US politicians, get to sell more bombs and drones. The
'lesson' of intervention rings hollow when the primary outcome is a new, larger market for military solutions, not lasting peace. How many more nations need to be 'destabilized into prosperity' before we recognize the pattern?
