Well, on the positive side he has the blessing of the Nigerian gov't. 

On the bad side, this does NOTHING for US citizens. He even tells  us that's it's for the purpose of protecting Christians. 

So now the US is going into the business of protecting Christians wherever they seem to be under threat. 

So what would Trump have done if he had been around when Yugoslavia broke up? In that case, Christians attacked Christians AND Muslims- Eastern Orthodox Serbs slaughtering Roman Catholic Croatians and Bosnian Muslims. How to choose, how to choose. Glad he wasn't around for that fiasco. 

And if his great notion is to protect Christians, how does that square with how he handles desperate refugees from south of the border. They're 99.99% Roman Catholic. Many are under serious threat in their home country. And we treat them like shit. 

An addled man with addled foreign policy. But he has it clear that protecting PROTESTANT Christians is popular with much of his MAGA base. The white supreme nativists are NOT Catholic, they're Protestant. 

I wonder how THIS is going to play out on the international stage. 

The USA; protecting Christian interests wherever they are under threat.

We get it you dont like Trump. If Trump cured cancer you'd get cancer. 

Be nice, even when you don't want to!

So you like us attacking people in Nigeria who pose no threat to US citizens? 

Please explain. And leave out Clinton (both), Biden and Obama. This has to do with THIS President and THIS policy. 

We are killing people, albeit bad people, who are not attacking the US or our citizens. 

Trump didn't even hint that it was for our benefit, but for the benefit of Christians elsewhere. 

If I don't like Trump as much as you say, and you attack any observation I make vis-a-vis his actions, that must make you a dick-sucking sycophant. There can be no other explanation. 

Apparently, to use your analogy, if Trump offered to GIVE everyone cancer, you'd line up to get yours. Hey, it's free. 

But if you were to engage in reasonable conversation, you'd defend his actions or suggest why they're really not a good policy. But you spend all your pixels attacking the messenger. This is right out of the Trump and Karoline Leavitt (to Beaver) and Stephen Fat Fuck Cheung playbook. When answers are hard to come by, call the questioner stupid, retarded, Mongoloid, pea-brained, piggy, etc. All have used as a response to legitimate journalists queries. Which one(s) describe your comments? Please choose. Use "e" for all of the above. 

To iterate: I post a piece of news. I didn't invent it. I render an opinion. You render no opinion, just attack the post-er. 

Move up the totem pole a notch or two. If you're at the bottom you have your head up someone else's ass. And nobody learns how you think (or that you actually DO). 

So, whadda you think about the US attacking ISIS Muslims in Nigeria for the crime of attacking Nigerian Christians? 

I think ISIS sucks, wherever they may be. 

I like that other nations are standing up to them.

I think that we could support such efforts with materiel, but not with US military on (or above) the battlefield. 

I think Trump does this to butter up his Christian Nationalist supporters, who are softening their support for various domestic reasons. 

I think it does nothing to advance our interests here or there. 

I think it's a bad precedent to set. Who's going to call us next to start dropping bombs on behalf of THEIR Christians? And who do we bomb when Christians bomb other Christians?
