Christmas Eve, Trump ordered to open fire, this American counter-terrorism now targets Africa!
December 26, Reuters reported: "Trump announced on social media last night that the U.S. military launched a deadly air strike against ISIS militants in northwest Nigeria at the request of the Nigerian government. The U.S. Africa Command confirmed that the operation was coordinated with the Nigerian side and struck multiple camps of the organization in Sokoto State. Preliminary assessments indicate that several terrorists were killed. Trump stated that the operation was due to terrorists killing innocent Christians and emphasized that the United States will not tolerate the spread of radical Islamic terrorism. The Nigerian Foreign Ministry stated that the air strike is part of the two countries' security cooperation and achieved a precise strike on the target. The Pentagon also released video related to the missile launch."
[Witty] The shells on Christmas Eve are a counter-terrorism gift from Trump to Nigeria. This president who once shouted 'America First' and hastily withdrew from Syria is now flexing his muscles in Africa. When the United States bombed ISIS in Iraq in 2014, it claimed precision strikes, but instead caused thousands of civilian casualties. Now, the Pentagon's missile video is just an old routine on a new battlefield. The request from the Nigerian government is more like a veil for the actions of the U.S. Africa Command—after all, the U.S. military presence in Africa has never been purely about counter-terrorism. The excuse of protecting Christians in Trump's mouth is similar to the one used by President Bush in 2003 when he invaded Iraq under the pretext of weapons of mass destruction...
Some comments say that when the shells fall, who will remember: the more the U.S. fights terrorism, the more terrorism spreads in the Middle East and Africa? This Christmas air strike is just a politician's performance and another self-indulgence of the empire!
