An Imaginary ‘Christian Genocide’ in Nigeria? Trump Is All Over It

Описание: Our Nobel-Peace-Prize-obsessed leader is back to bring his (non) war-ending powers to… Nigeria? Yes, when the “terminally online” Donald Trump got wind of a new fake genocide, he was all over it. On Truth Social, he accused the Nigerian government of targeting Christians and threatened to invade, “guns-a-blazing.”

“There are human rights abuses in Nigeria… It is not a genocide, by any definition,” Mehdi says. “It’s ironic that the United States government will not say Gaza is a genocide, they will not say Sudan is a genocide. Both are being carried out with the support – directly, in the case of Israel, indirectly, in the case of the UAE – by their allies.”
