Trump Targets Genocidal Nigerians
US launches strikes against Islamic State group in Nigeria after attacks target Christians
By WILL WEISSERT
WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. (AP) — President Donald Trump said the United States launched a “powerful and deadly” strike against forces of the Islamic State group in Nigeria, after spending weeks accusing the West African country’s government of failing to rein in the targeting of Christians.
In a Christmas evening post on his social media site Thursday, Trump did not provide details or mention the extent of the damage caused by the strikes in the northwestern state of Sokoto.
A Defense Department official, who insisted on anonymity to discuss details not made public, said the U.S. worked with Nigeria to carry out the strikes and that they’d been approved by Abuja.
Nigeria’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs said the cooperation included exchange of intelligence and strategic coordination in ways “consistent with international law, mutual respect for sovereignty and shared commitments to regional and global security.”
This didn’t happen in a vacuum- in November Trump threatened both U.S. military intervention in Nigeria and withholding of all foreign aid if the killing of Christians continued, and he go in with “guns-a-blazing” to “completely wipe out the Islamic Terrorists who are committing these horrible atrocities.”
There’s also an American precedent for this sort of thing. Merry Christmas, ISIS.
This has been happening for centuries. Muslims raping, kidnapping, murdering and enslavement.
Hit them and then hit them harder and harder till they stop. Then hit them again.
Whenever there was a report in the media, they were always identified as masked gunmen and not islamofascist they were.
…with “unknown motivations” despite unconfirmed resports of their yelling about a “snackbar” or so.
We have a precedent for that, too.
And continue hitting them until there are no more to hit. Then and only then will the sand chiggers stop their anti-Christian massacre and enslavement.
And for any LibTards out there even starting to think about uttering the word “genocide”, since when did a totalitarian political theocracy become a race?
Just be thankful that PDJT47 hasn’t started coming after a’y’all by the same means…..yet. It ain’t off the table.
Not to mention, in the past at least, selling the non-muslim believers into slavery.
Violent totalitarian busybodies who can’t leave other folk alone… bombed, good!
Shouldn’t th4 cuttlefish be here by now defending the terrorists?
Yeah, um…
