US President Donald Trump has ordered the military to prepare for action in Nigeria to tackle Islamist militant groups, accusing the government of failing to protect Christians.

Trump did not say which killings he was referring to, but claims of a genocide against Nigeria’s Christians have been circulating in recent weeks and months in some right-wing US circles.

Groups monitoring violence say there is no evidence to suggest that Christians are being killed more than Muslims in Nigeria, which is roughly evenly divided between followers of the two religions.

    That’s right.

    The addled, demented piece of shit masquerading as our president, who is going to let 40,000,000 Americans starve and get kicked off their health care, is the super Christian that’s going to liberate Nigeria.

    Fucking making me laugh over here, Donald.

    Anything to distract from the fact that his piece of shit is in the Epstein files.

      Its interesting how white afrikaners get a free refuge pass for their made up plight, but Nigerian Christians just get their Muslim countrymen killed by the US military
