~~"no new wars"~~
"No, new wars!"
it's not a war it's a police action
Its only about (closely) avoiding big wars with Russia or China for him. Small fish like Venezuela and Nigeria still seem digestible to the empire.
But Nigeria is the biggest country in Africa by population. This is really big.
Israel 
USA
Flailing wildly with its military resources.
United states of settler colonialism
When all you have is a hammer, every problem looks like a nail
What is he even on about at this point? What's even going on in Nigeria?
Nigeria is the second largest petroleum producer in Africa
they should call the whitehouse and say they ran out and don't have any more.
Damn
Stretch Sandals
Nigeria is the biggest country in Africa by population, by a wide margin. Trying to get in there by force ... seems weird. Maybe he wishes for some military bases in Africa with cooperation from Nigeria?
Good to know the American people are starving because their government wants to bring death and destruction to where ever they fancy
Nah at this point these are just two things the us loves to do regardless, one doesn't cause the other at all. If they ever stopped bombing they wouldn't put any of those resources to feeding anyone
"Prepare to attack."
"Who, Mr. President?"
"Everyone."
"What do you mean, 'everyone'?"
"EVERYONE!"
All right! I want a full-scale Red Alert throughout the world! Surround everyone with everything we've got! Mobilize every fighting unit and every weapon we can lay our hands on! I want... I want three full-scale global nuclear alerts with every army, navy and air force unit on eternal standby!

I can’t wait for us to lose to Nigeria too.
"us"
They not like us
James Cameron predicted both this and america invading Venezuela in Avatar
Hope those Abyss aliens can save us from Skynet
I've been to Nigeria. Our troops are not prepared. It was just so dusty!
Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria, Vietnam…are our previous boys ever prepared for anything?
precious
they're not even prepared for the interest rate on their car
Every new boot pulling up in their max APR black dodge charger

i remember a tweet below that jewish insider piece defending RSF mentioning how now everybody's talking about what's going on in sudan and not christians getting attacked in nigeria. it's completely possible that a trump aide or fox news commentator saw that and started chirping about nigeria which planted this seed into trump's brain. trump's completely demented, he's always listening to the last person that talked to him and pulled his nutsacks. fuck this.
I went to Nigeria specifically to help out a "missionary" ministry back in 2013ish, and the "christians are being murdered there just for our faith!" thing was a huuuuuuge line. After spending a couple months there though, that was largely disproven, and one of the locals their explained how it happens pretty well to me, at least in Jos, where we stayed. Jos is a city that's basically 50/50 christian/muslim. geographically anyway, not sure on the demographics. North was muslim, south was christian. The people that live in Jos are all friendly. Work and live and play together, all the time. But when outside extremists come to the area specifically for an attack, they know if they just target whichever area they hate, they can set off a bomb or start a fire or whatever and kill 95% christians/muslims. its fucked, and what makes it more fucked is that none of the missionaries care when it was muslims getting slaughtered. it only registered when it was christians, and that's why we needed to go to jos to save our christian brethren!
pulled his nutsacks.
What?
i am also confused about this turn of phrase, lmao
he enjoys CBT, im 87% sure.
I get why he was trying to rename it to the Department of War again now
The military was probably uncomfortable with attacking a Christian, almost white country so Trump's compromise was to attack a country in Africa; Nigeria may even be Christian but honestly I don't know and Trump definitely doesn't.
the country is almost split even between northern majority muslim half and southern majority christian half. i think islam is around 55% and christianity 45%. if i had to guess christians are probably more represented in the government but don't quote me on that.
the main concern in nigeria is boko haram (which was affiliated with ISIS) and gangs and bandits affiliated with boko haram. it mainly operates in the muslim majority north and attacks shias and christians but also general stealing, looting and kidnapping. i don't know how strong they are now (certainly weaker than 2015-2016) but i would imagine it's mostly compromised of thugs trying to scare people by using the name of boko haram.
i don't know how a new military campaign could destroy this but i don't think the trump admin know either and they're still doing it. they just want to kill brown people it's not that deep.
Seems similar to the Somalia strategy of the US: Split Somalia into two new nations. Somaliland could be recognized by the US in return for political loyalty. Somaliland will host military bases and refugees from US-Detention.
Is there any country that Trump isn't trying to invade right now?
Rhodesia?
yeah, sounding like many of the "gen-z protests" lately.
