President Trump has just threatened today to go into Nigeria ‘guns-a-blazing’ to kill the Islamic terrorists and save the Christians from slaughter.
Here’s what he wrote:
If the Nigerian Government continues to allow the killing of Christians, the U.S.A. will immediately stop all aid and assistance to Nigeria, and may very well go into that now disgraced country, “guns-a-blazing,” to completely wipe out the Islamic Terrorists who are committing these horrible atrocities. I am hereby instructing our Department of War to prepare for possible action. If we attack, it will be fast, vicious, and sweet, just like the terrorist thugs attack our CHERISHED Christians! WARNING: THE NIGERIAN GOVERNMENT BETTER MOVE FAST!
Wow. Trump sounds absolutely serious about this and I hope the Nigerian government doesn’t dismiss it out of hand. I totally believe Trump will do this, and I hope he follows through. I hate the idea of putting our soldiers in harm’s way and it totally sucks, but this really is a worthy cause. The genocide is of epic proportions.
UPDATE: Secretary of War Pete Hegseth responds:
Yes sir.
The killing of innocent Christians in Nigeria — and anywhere — must end immediately. The Department of War is preparing for action. Either the Nigerian Government protects Christians, or we will kill the Islamic Terrorists who are committing these horrible atrocities. pic.twitter.com/C0v9RHGoS1
