But meanwhile, those "cherished Christians" in Nigeria are not on his list to get first priority admission to the USA if they wish to emigrate. Funny, I wonder why...the WHITE South Africans are, but the BLACK Nigerians aren't...
Nigeria is a proud, important country--the most populous in Africa, destined to overtake the United States in population if current trends continue. It has had its share of ethnic and religious conflicts--including the 1967-70 Civil War when the largely Christian Igbo people attempted to secede. It is an important oil producer--Exxon, Shell and others would not be happy with U.S. intervention. Nigeria remained strictly neutral throughout the Cold War, while supporting the struggle against apartheid in South Africa and independence movements in Angola, Mozambique and then-Southern Rhodesia. Its government dismissed U.S. proposals for less militant approaches to Southern Africa. Any U.S. intervention in this rugged, densely-populated country of seashores, swamps, tropical forests, rivers, semi-desert, and the edge of the Sahara, would be pointless, utter folly.

I would assume that naming only two obvious "genocides" would mean that you do not consider Gaza as another example? Certainly, 70,000 men, women, and children do not match the two you highlighted; the starving and slaughter of families as they tried to get food would, if this were a meaningful article, one that we can trust, be included in the label of atrocity! Especially since the subject of the article is Trump, who embraced and supported the entire genocide! I guess politics is politics, and that, regardless of whether an example is worthwhile for inclusion, if it rankles the power players, it should be omitted!
Hi Bill, thank you for comment. For clarification purposes, O'Neill's piece is focused on the continent of Africa. His two provided examples are from the African continent in support of his regional-specific information and argument.
Why would Trump even be interested in Nigeria? Unfortunately, America under Trump does not have a responsible foreign policy. Remember how Trump was pushing for America to stand alone? I believe he has sometimes realized that we need to work with other nations.
Everything he does shows that he never grew up past the second-grade bully stage. Don't expect it to ever change.

What I take away from this "episode" is that nothing he says is factual until, and only until, it is either verified or dismissed.

does Nigeria have beach property...
First, Dump never read an "assessment" in his life. Or anything, for that matter.
Second, distraction from the Epstein files is the whole reason for both Nigeria and Venezuela.
Third, how many people in Africa and elsewhere are dying because of cuts to USAID. And yet, now
Dump is a Rambo crusader?
Finally, the reason this kind of grotesquery is even possible is because Congress has abdicated its
Constitutionally mandated War Powers.

Sorry for my error!
Wonder what he’s smoking?
