    From the article:

    “In November, CNN reported that the president’s initial threat against Nigeria came after he watched a Fox News segment about violence in the country.”

        For the US, generally, the answer is “yes.”

        tRump is trying to play to his base. He doesn’t care that Christians are committing the same atrocities as ISIS.

        He also needs to try to distract everyone from the Epstein files.

          You know those Nigerian prince scams?

          They started because the Nigerian government is in collusion with the oil companies at the expense of the Nigerian people, who have had their fishery and farming practices destroyed by oil pollution.

          The people found the only way to survive was join organized crime and scam rich foreigners.
