Somalia: Trump targeted Al-Shabaab and ISIS-Somalia operatives
Syria: a "large-scale" retaliation for an ambush on American personnel
War, I despise'Cause it means destruction of innocent livesWar means tears to thousands of mothers' eyesWhen their sons go out to fight and lose their livesI said
Once again, Trump wheels the Sword of Vengeance!
BBCJaroslav Lukivand & Makuochi OkaforDecember 27, 2025The US has launched strikes against militants linked to the Islamic State group (IS) in north-western Nigeria, where militants have sought to establish a foothold.Camps run by the group in Sokoto state were hit near the border with Niger, the US military said. Casualty numbers are unclear, but both US and Nigerian officials say militants were killed.US President Donald Trump said the Christmas Day strikes had been "deadly" and labelled the group "terrorist scum", saying they had been "targeting and viciously killing, primarily, innocent Christians".Nigerian Foreign Minister Yusuf Maitama Tuggar told the BBC it was a "joint operation" and had "nothing to do with a particular religion".
But as usual Trump lied in say it was to stop religious oppressions but;
He said there was no issue with IS in the area: "We live peacefully, and there is no conflict between us and Christians."The Trump administration has previously accused the Nigerian government of failing to protect Christians from jihadist attacks and has claimed a "genocide" is being perpetrated.
As usual, Trump only thinks in the "Now!"
But it is not just about the "now"—we are still paying for the coup we sponsored in Iran! Iran was planning on nationalizing its oil fields, and the U.S. and Britain wanted none of that. We staged a coup in 1953 and put the Shah of Iran in power. In 1979, Shah Mohammad Reza Pahlavi was overthrown, the Revolutionary Guard took control, and look where we are now!
We wanted bananas, so we invaded or staged coups to overthrow governments:
- 1911 Honduras: A U.S. hired an army and went in an overthrew the government.
- 1928 Colombia: United Fruit was getting the shaft so we invaded them.
- 1954 Guatemala: Give us your bananas or we invade you.
In 1979, Russia invaded Afghanistan for a "short, glorious little war," and look at Afghanistan now—the fighting never truly ends. In 1982, Argentina thought the British would be a pushover, that they wouldn't sail 8,000 miles... wrong! And Britain thought, "We have the mightiest navy in the world!" But Argentina had Exocet missiles.
(War) It ain't nothing but a heartbreaker(War) It's got one friend, that's the undertaker, aww!
In 2025 Trump is dreaming of a "Glorious Little War" that will boost his ratings. Knock off this little thirds-world country... piece of cake!
But unlike the banana wars, Venezuela has: Russian S-300 air defenses and Iranian drone tech. Trump is biting off more than he can chew and leading us into decades of unrest!
War has shattered many young men's dreamsMade them disabled, bitter and meanLife is much too short and precious to be fighting wars these daysWar can't give life, it can only take it away, aww!
