US military action in Nigeria

[Dunamisx]

The US does not invade Nigeria just like that. Still, instead they inform the government and also plan this together, we can't compare that of the case in Venezuela to that happening in Nigeria, they are different things entirely, sometimes, US could go far beyond their reach and they maintain between all they could, the best is that we should not expect any external influence than what we could motivate and render on our own self from within.

The US worked hand in hand with the Nigerian military to bombered the terrorists but we know that the superior firepower came from America, who are capable to do the damage against the terrorists without help from the Nigerian military. What I'm wondering is if the terrorists regroups again whether the US will be there to fight them off again because clearly the Nigerian military either don't have the willpower or are incapable to fight terrorism. Countries should be well equiped to fight insecurities because they cannot always depend on foreign powers to fight for them in their own territory.

The US involvement in fighting terrorism in Nigeria, is different from their invasion of Venezuela, to abduct their president, one is help while the other is arrest ( kidnap)

I don't know why Trump is not focusing on the main American problem but he choose to strike any country of his choice when every country have their own problem to solve. Nigeria has so many corrupt politicians that are using insurgency to embezzle billions in dollar without bringing the problem to a halt because they know that the money will not be coming again. The case in Venezuela is a case of kidnapping and Trump should stop this because he is losing his potential as the president of the world country (United States). The United States should not be the first to attack another sovereign nation that have a head, this is misuse of power.

Am not hearing us talk about the unexploded US bombs found with the local civilians playing with it in the bush, you can check this link on how the Nigerian Army warns for the return, https://www.facebook.com/100070816395269/posts/breaking-nigerian-army-begs-sokoto-residents-to-return-unexploded-us-bombs-to-th/897487799288425/ but later, i heard that the Nigerian Police have taken charge of some of these bombs but more are still our there found hanging  within the bush in the hands of the civilians.

I mean... The case of Nigeria and Venezuela are pretty different from one another. In Venezuela they had two very specific targets, the dictator and his wife. In Nigeria there is no just a couple of targets or VIPs, but rather an entire organizations of terrorists and bandits which the government of Nigeria has shown to be inneficient at combating by their own means, so the government of the United States cannot easily perform quirugical attacks as they did in order to capture Nicolas Maduro, because it would be proven to be useless to stop bandits and terrorists. I am afraid the USA may use more brute force against outlaws in Nigeria to get things under control.

Venezuelan president's case needed more drastic measures and was more threatening to the U.S than the case of Nigerian Bandits/terrorists. Remember that Trump claims for adopting Maduro and his wife was that he's the leader of a drug cartel that smuggles drugs to the U.S, held possession of arm bought from his enemies (Russia and China) and involved trade with them, he also claim that Venezuela went against the deal they had with U.S oil companies, chevron in particular.
 Whereas his worry concerning Nigeria was that the Islamic terrorist groups was becoming a threat to Nigeria Christians and needed to strike a particular region they occupied to scare the rest and force the Nigerian government to act on protecting Christians. So you see, that why same measure weren't used concerning adopting Maduro and striking a terrorist camp in Northern Nigeria. If Nigeria was more threatening maybe the delta force would've visited Aso Rock already.

In your opinion, what is the main problem facing the US?

In my opinion, the main problem for the US is that its global power and influence are waning. Meanwhile, their rivals, such as Russia, China, and the BRICS, are becoming increasingly powerful and challenging the order they have maintained for decades.

If you look closely, you will notice that the presence of China and Russia in Venezuela and Africa is becoming increasingly evident. Therefore, if we were in the position of the US, we would realize that everything the Trump administration is doing is in the interests of America and to restore its leadership position. It was a much bigger and more important war, and it needed to be addressed as a priority over domestic issues

You think U.S government don't know the law against a country military going into other countries to carry out such terrorists attack? If Nigeria government say they are not aware about the U.S operation on bandits in the Norther part of Nigeria, that is just a politics talk and the new administration don't want people in the North region to know that the new administration gave U.S military access to Nigeria to eliminate bandits that is causing genocide in the country, if I may ask you, what U.S military did to reduce bandits in the country is it a bad one to Nigerian? Is not a bad one to Nigerian because people travel for far and near to celebrate Christmas and new and return back to their various destination without fear of bandits again in the country.

The politics in Nigeria is not fun at all and these people are using the lives of people to loot money.

What supprise me is how the locals get to the bomed site before the military and get access to those misle tanks left on the ground, the truth is that most of those people are just hungry and looking for what to steal remember the community members said when they hard the explosive they thought it was a plan crash.

The bomb was a big one and those people never understand what they were playing with thinking it's an ordinary metal.
The United States really surprised the world how they were able to do what the Nigerian government could not do lying about what they are spending to keep the Nigerian citizens safe. The corruption has increased and the lies continues to increase everyday.

Countries should be well equiped to fight insecurities because they cannot always depend on foreign powers to fight for them in their own territory.

Majority of the countries can, but what do you call a situation where these terrorists are heavily sponsored and are well equipped with crazy weapons?. Those in government are paying deaf hears, because they're puppet to foreign leaders. Just so you may know, we've successfully entered a different era where the government can openly justify evil, and make the people live with it. You think the media houses still acts as a bridge between the government and the people?... They've long sided the government and anything that benefits their interest.

Yeah.. it might sound like help, but I guess everyone have already known that any third world countries can easily be invaded, and even the supposed UN organization won't say a word about it. That's the new era because they now do it openly and justify their actions.

Seeking foreign help if the government hard follow things the way it appears removing shame with diplomatic measure would have made this secret without the knowledge of citizens even if there seen to be a whistleblower they could have cover up but allowing the foreigner to raise alarm weaken the strength of the nation. Our government has a lot of relationship with foreign body which they could have render some help even if it course them some things. The conclusion of the whole issue is that terrorism is an issue that is worldly condemnable and seeing it happens in one side of any nation can't be overlooked. If truly US is helping the nation to crackdown this very terrorism issue without any ulterior motives there is nothing to cry about it, though politics is a game of unknown logic most time because not all secret can be revealed.

As for that of Nigeria i don't see it that way, the level of corruption in the political system of Nigeria is the reasons behind all we are facing in the country and calling for help secretly to come and destroy a structure they have built for the achievement of there wicked plans is what they cant allow that is why they found it difficult going for help when it has to do with the security issues of the country Nigeria. Assuming it was never part of there plans to disorganise the security sector of the country, they would have introduced some strategies that would have been helpful in the reduction of insecurity challenges but they cant because they are the architects to all happening in the country.

[Dunamisx]

Even Israel is said to have commit itself to the backing of US altogether in fighting the insurgents, the problem now is that, where are the sponsors coming from, who are they and why cant they be located and apprehended, because this war is more than what just an individuals could attempt doing, its a joint effort of the international countries backing it up.

The Nigeria government have all of this to be blamed on and it's so disgraceful that they left their constitutional duty of protecting the lives and properties of her citizens undone making a security situation that they can internally handle to look so pathetic that external power has to get involved to display military power in another independent country's  soil.

Nigerian government are not aware of anything. According to the news I read, they said president Donald Trump took Nigerian government unaware about his mission. President Donald Trump is highly unpredictable and body should take his word for granted, his not a joking president when it comes to serious matter. I knew from the first day he made that declaration of "Nigeria a country of particular concern" that he will definitely show his concern about the killing and kidnapping of Nigerian citizens especially the Christians. Nigerian government should never try to claim any merit of president Donald Trump actions. If they are aware of the bomb blast why sending delegates?

Yeah, that’s what a lot of people’s said that the Nigerian government was not aware of what happened earlier. But according to some people said that is only news that prove that the Nigeria government where not aware of the bomb, that President Donald Trump only took his mission without notice just to help Nigeria to killed all the territories that are been the disturb country, but nobody knows the fact.

Insecurity happening right now in the country is just political. You should know that some of our politicians are really benefiting from the insecurity happening in the country, so they don’t even want it to end. People are being killed on a daily basis, and some people don’t even want it to stop before they benefiting from the killing.

Our politicians don’t even care about the life’s of their citizens, all they are after is what’s going to enter their pockets. Even if people are suffering and crying, and long as money is entering their account, then they are good. If the government really wants to fight insecurity, they should be able to do that, but they don’t because they are benefiting from it.

Instead of politicians to look at the insecurity that has been killing people in the country, they decided to use this medium to embezzle huge funds in the name of looking for solutions that will dissolve and reduce the problem people have been facing and complaining about for years now. It looks like this is a lucrative business for them to cash out billions.

The US military did the exact thing  that was supposed to be done especially at the right time because the Nigerian government has just been quiet and neglected this bandits and hoodloms and they keep causing problem and havoc in the society making it uncomfortable for people to stay safely.
The Nigerian government usually are fund of politicizing everything, weather the US military informed the Nigerian authorities or not the saw what was needed and went into swift action instead of waiting for this greedy and self centered politicians who are fund of allowing problems to keep growing untill it gets to the point where even they themselves can not control again. I'm in full support of what the US military did to savage the situation swiftly.

[Ishicryptic]

The US military actions in Nigeria, has not backed down, although we haven't heard of any strikes from them recently targeting terrorists in northern Nigeria, their impact is still being felt. We saw delivery of sophisticated weapons that were delivered to the Nigerian government and I'm grateful for it, it means that if the American troops are not in Nigeria, to physically neutralize the terrorists their weapons are doing the job in the hands of the Nigerian military. I hope that Nigerian military will live up to expectation by dealing with the terrorists so that US troops won't have a good reason to enter their sovereignty to take out the bastards in their place.
