Trump Sends Military Support To Nigeria

This must be wrong if Trump did it. Certainly, it shouldn't be discussed,

US delivers military supplies to Nigeria amid intensified operations against terror groups

The mission disclosed this in an X post on Tuesday.

It also must be wrong to go into Phase 2 of the Gaza cease fire.

I remember someone running on an “America first” platform. Nigeria, Venezuela, Greenland. This guy seems to care about everyone but Americans.

If he declares himself the ruler of them they become America, problem solved.

That's gotta mess with Vance's mission to redefine Americanism as being hereditary and not credal. Does a sense of national identity built on birthplace have room for people born in conquered lands?

From the link

“US forces delivered critical military supplies to our Nigerian partners in Abuja,” it posted, adding the “delivery supports Nigeria’s ongoing operations and emphasizes our shared security partnership.”

But because it is Trump - somehow supporting our allies is bad.

That is the political world from January 2017 onward.

We used to look to the merits of an action. I had to ask Alexa who was president when we arrested Noriega. In that time, the issue wasn't the party of the president. Today, that is ALL that matters.

For Democrats, the US policies at the border cannot be the right policies, they must be failed policies. They are Trump policies.

There are a few in Congress who actually don't think this way and a few who actually speak out. For example, Federman applauded the actions against Maduro. Of course, such attitudes preclude him from any political office outside of PA.

Once again, "America First," not "America Only."

This is America first, but you are so hell-bent on complaining about Trump that you don't see the ramifications of Russia and China's strong foothold in Africa, both of which are in Nigeria. The USA is spending money to fight Boko Haram, and we are second in trade, while China (the largest trade partner) and Russia (arms sales).

Along those lines, USAID was "America First", too, but we see where that went.

Kids are going hungry. Sick people can't afford insurance. Critical government departments are dismantled. Big Bird is off the air.
And Trump spends billions trying to take over the world.
He defunded USAID--which helped Africa, and China is filling the void, hurting us diplomatically. Instead he sends weapons.
I join the 140 Congressmen who voted to impeach.

Yes, Most of the programs the government starts with are noble but as the years go on, these programs morph into unaccountable money siphons. It started as a humanitarian, not a political ideology.

Has anyone actually said so?

Verbatim no - but in actions over the last decade - yes. Time and time again.

Throughout modern American politics, there have been several instances in which policies long discussed or endorsed by prior presidents were ultimately carried out by President Donald Trump, only to draw criticism from those same political figures or their allies.

For example, presidents from both parties had publicly supported moving the U.S. embassy in Israel to Jerusalem, yet delayed action due to political risk. When Trump executed the move in 2018, many former supporters of the idea objected to the timing and method rather than the policy itself.

Similarly, stronger border enforcement and the need to renegotiate trade agreements had been acknowledged by earlier administrations. Trump’s implementation of tariffs and border measures, however, sparked opposition from leaders who had previously voiced similar concerns.

These cases highlight a recurring tension in U.S. politics: agreement on goals does not always translate into support for decisive execution, especially when carried out by a political rival.

Comes from the file titled: Don't pour water on my leg and tell me it's raining.

Big Bird is off the air! Oh, my goodness! Even AI knows that's not true

Here’s what’s actually going on:

Sesame Street is still being produced and shown.

New episodes of Sesame Street are scheduled to air on PBS and PBS Kids, and they’ll also be available to stream on Netflix starting with new seasons in 2025 and beyond, after Warner Bros./Max stopped airing new episodes on their services.

Big Bird is still part of the show

Big Bird remains a central character in Sesame Street as part of the ongoing series; the character itself hasn’t been discontinued or “taken off the air.”

Confusion from funding and platform changes

Recent cuts to federal funding for the Corporation for Public Broadcasting may affect some local PBS stations’ operations, which has fueled rumors about shows being canceled. But Sesame Street itself still has distribution through PBS and Netflix.

IMHO - if a person can't get the story about a 6 and a half foot chicken correct - I really cannot take anything they say seriously.

What are the "merits" of this action?

I think the title of the news article says it all. Unless Americans are backing terrorist organizations these days.

Suggest reading post #2 - #3 - #4 and Post #9 which is how I came to my opinion along with what I have stated above. Thank you for asking.

I don't make an assessment based on article titles.
