  A large military that enables Nigeria to act swiftly in national or regional crisis? Why then is a rag tag band of evil and misguided jihadists and Boko Haram idiots menacing the country with the Nigerian military still unable to put them out of their misery?

  Dropping bombs in a part of Nigeria for a day and returning to base in Djibouti is a comical way for a President to claim to be defending Christians in Nigeria. Trump is brought up the killings of Christians in Nigeria as a ploy to act militarily in Nigeria because of Nigeria's refusal to accept Trump's demand that it take in his deportees. Trump has no ounce of Christianity in his evil bones to care about the plight of Christians anywhere in the globe. With regard to Trump's attempt to invade Venezuela and effect a regime change, his sole reason for doing so is because President Maduro of Venezuela publicly ridiculed him on many occasions since Trump took office a year ago. Being thin-skinned and unable to stand smaller nations refusing to bow before him, Trump simply concocted an excuse of 'going after drug boats' sailing out of Venezuela. Only a liar and crook will use such a lame pretext to go after Venezuela. Much of the drugs coming into the USA come Colombia, Ecuador, Peru and Mexico. If Trump is really concerned about drugs entering the USA, why has he not launched military attacks against these four nations that are the main suppliers of narcotics to the USA? Trump's meddling in Venezuela is personal, and has nothing to do with shipments of narcotics to the USA.

  Trouble is: The vast majority of the corrupt elites in Nigeria are muslims and they will rather not call the Muslim or Islamist terrorists within their country by their real name instead of the nonsensical bandits.
  They are Muslim Terrorists following the footsteps of Mohammed ,who, was a child rapist, caravan raider, highway robber, slave trader and a mass murderer. Only idiotic Africans will revere such a vile and despicable , intolerant tyrant as a prophet. And, that is a fact without apology. The facts are as plain as the noses on our faces. Mohammed was no role model.

  Screw you and that fake erudite writer. You haven't seen me defending the corrupt Nigerian government officials or the evil and misguided jihadists causing mayhem under some demented religious beliefs. What makes you and that writer think that Trump dropping bombs in just one day in a location that can't even be proven to be an operational spot for the evil Jihadists. If that demented Trump really cared about snuffing out the killers terrorizing Christians and others, he would have provided logistic and other supplies to the Nigerian government to help it in its fight against the Jihadists. Furthermore, if Trump weren't om a path to please his evangelical base in the USA, he would have planned on USA military staying operating in Nigeria along with the Nigerian military for at least eight weeks, and that would have been time enough to flush out the evil Jihadists from their hiding holes. It's a joke for Trump or anyone to believe that a one day USA military action in Nigeria is the right approach to take against the Jihadists.
