Trump tells military to prepare for 'action' against Islamist militants in Nigeria

US President Donald Trump has ordered the military to prepare for action in Nigeria to tackle Islamist militant groups, accusing the government of failing to protect Christians.

Trump did not say which killings he was referring to, but claims of a genocide against Nigeria's Christians have been circulating in recent weeks and months in some right-wing US circles.

Groups monitoring violence say there is no evidence to suggest that Christians are being killed more than Muslims in Nigeria, which is roughly evenly divided between followers of the two religions.

Venezuela and Nigeria. Hmmm. I wonder what those two countries might have in common.

I think I know this one. It's oil right? Lots and lots of fucking oil he's trying to steal.

Chucklefuck is going to start a religion based war? What the absolute fuck. Does Nigeria have rare earth metals? If so this would likely be a play to get the government to "owe him" 70 years of unregulated mining or something absurd... So much for "america-first." Nice to know children here will die without food while he wants to spend whatever it takes to bomb African Muslims.

Lot of oil coming out of Nigeria. If they fight and some die, it will be to protect somebody else's oil profits.
