In another inexplicable move for an administration that touts an "America First" agenda, Trump bombed Nigeria Christmas Day. While the U.S. President claimed he was trying to protect persecuted Christians, the Nigerian government said it sanctioned the bombings but the operation had nothing to do with religion and instead targeted terrorists. "Nigerian Foreign Minister Yusuf Maitama Tuggar told the BBC it was a "joint operation" and had 'nothing to do with a particular religion'." The U.S. is also targeting Venezuela. Both Venezuela and Nigeria are oil rich countries.
Trump bombed Nigeria on Christmas Day claiming he's "fighting ISIS and stopping Christian genocide."
Nigerian Christians attest that the violence seen is real but not based on religious discrimination, & Trump's framing as such makes Nigerian Christians less safe www.qasimrashid.com/p/nigeria-ch...[image or embed]

I was surprised Dummkopf Trumpf didn't invoke Dubya's provocative "Crusade" terminology when he ordered the bombing of these Nigerian Muslims: i.redd.it
"In the 2000s, under Hugo Chvez, Venezuela seized oil projects owned by foreign companies, including major U.S. firms such as ExxonMobil and ConocoPhillips."
All investment is inherently risky.
"They went to international arbitration and U.S. courts -- the proper legal venues."
That can't serve as legal rationale, though. Because United States policy is the United States is not bound by international courts.
These tankers are being seized pursuant to warrants by US courts: Last Wednesday, the United States seized a tanker in the Caribbean Sea that was carrying Venezuelan oil for Cuba and China. A federal judge had issued a warrant for the seizure based on the fact that the tanker had recently transported oil from Iran. www.nytimes.com
