Nigeria has been plagued by sectarian violence, but that violence hasn’t primarily targeted Christians — and certainly not at historically unprecedented levels. America’s logic here isn’t clear, but the strikes appear driven more by Trump putting on a show for his evangelical base than trying to reduce violence in Nigeria or even advance U.S. national interests.
It’s the first time the U.S. has ever fired missiles into Nigeria, but it’s one of several countries the Trump administration has bombed this year. In 2025, U.S. forces launched more than a thousand strikes against the Houthis in Yemen, more than a hundred in Somalia mostly targeting al-Shabab, dozens against ISIS in Syria, 29 and counting against alleged drug traffickers in the Caribbean and the eastern Pacific, plus some strikes targeting Iran’s nuclear program. All of those efforts killed people and damaged things, but none appear to have achieved anything lasting.

ReplyDeleteThe cats would surely have gone for a piece of one of the turkeys. 🤣

A Federal judge in Tennessee has canceled Kilmer Abrego Garcia’s trial on human smuggling charges.
He’s instead going to have a hearing on whether the prosecution against Abrego has been vindictive and selective.
This is a critical turning point.

Unfortunately, I can't find any corroboration for this report. :(
