giraldi, former cia, knows a few things and speaks about them here;

I actually thought there might be some good news coming out of the Donald Trump White House but it turns out that I was likely mistaken. Trump treated the American public and a worldwide audience to an extended harangue targeting Nigeria for its alleged mistreatment and even killing of Christians. He threatened something like a military intervention similar to his aggressive posturing in Latin America and the Middle East complete with US soldiers “boots on the ground” to address the situation.

Listening to the hardly coherent bombast coming out of Trump’s mouth my immediate reaction was to assume that nothing would happen beyond the threats and some sanctioning as Nigeria is a long distance way away from US bases and it would be a tough nut to crack for many reasons. Trump prefers to pick on countries that represent easier targets for his warlike demeanor. So I figured it was all a bit of theater, likely inspired by some administration clown whispering in Trumpstein’s ear shortly before our president decided to say something to show how tough he is.

Where I saw the good news was the suggestion that the United States government might actually be interested in doing something to protect Christian minorities, though even that thought was largely dispelled when Ahmed al–Sharaa the de facto head of state of Syria, who currently goes by that birth name after operating under an alias, showed up at the White House to be greeted by a grinning Trump and his usual coterie of sycophants. Visitors to this site no doubt have a pretty good idea what Ahmed al–Sharaa represents as a former Emir of Hay’at Tahrir al-Sham (HTS) after involvement with the Al Nusra Front al-Qaeda and ISIS terrorist groups. He was notoriously a head chopper who until recently had a $10 million US government bounty linked to his apprehension and punishment. He has killed plenty of Christians as well as Shia Muslims and all of those sects in between and his new regime has continued the practice pretty much with Christians and Druze “heretics” being killed by militants vaguely attached to the new government..........more..........
