President Trump took to Truth Social on Saturday to tell the War Department to prepare for possible military action if the Nigerian government did not stop the slaughter of Christians.

If the Nigerian Government continues to allow the killing of Christians, the U.S.A. will immediately stop all aid and assistance to Nigeria, and may very well go into that now disgraced country, “guns-a-blazing,” to completely wipe out the Islamic Terrorists who are committing these horrible atrocities. I am hereby instructing our Department of War to prepare for possible action. If we attack, it will be fast, vicious, and sweet, just like the terrorist thugs attack our CHERISHED Christians! WARNING: THE NIGERIAN GOVERNMENT BETTER MOVE FAST!
Things are moving fast. It was only yesterday that President Trump issued a message decrying the slaughter of Nigeria's Christian population in some majority Muslim areas; see Trump Recognizes Ongoing Christian Genocide in Nigeria, Now What? – RedState.
The problem of how to stop the killing of Christians is a difficult one. The perpetrators are sometimes Islamists from Boko Haram, but they are frequently run-of-the-mill Religion of Peace types who simply want to kill Christians and take their stuff. The Nigerian government probably doesn't have sufficient control over its territory to protect Christians in Muslim areas without creating Islamist insurgencies.
Making the matter worse, Joe Biden closed the last U.S. military base in Africa, Agadez, Niger, in August 2024. The two bases we held in Niger were the focal point of surveillance and antiterrorism operations in Sub-Saharan Africa. Without those bases, carrying out any sort of meaningful direct action in Nigeria will be much harder.
The Schumer Shutdown is here. Rather than put the American people first, Chuck Schumer and the radical Democrats forced a government shutdown for healthcare for illegals. They own this.
