    As long as war is profitable for certain elite groups and America remains an amoral predator, bombs will keep on falling over innocents worldwide. 😔

    I might be imagining things from an alternate reality, but didn’t the approved use of military force that was being used to justify drone strikes against IS get repealed? What authority are they doing these new strikes under?

    There are only three things you need to know about Trump: (1) he always fails, (2) he always lies and (3) he always chickens out.

        Because imperialism is bad? Here we have the US bombing people on the other side of the world in order to keep the oil flowing at the expense of locals. This sort of Western support for corrupt African governments is a large part of why Africa still can’t claw itself out of its post-colonial hole, not to mention the instability and innocent deaths that foreign strikes so often cause.

          Calling them “Islamic state”, so that brainwashed americans associate them to “bad brown people”. US is a terrorist state.

            No the Islamic State is actually active in Nigeria as part of the insurgency there, though funnily enough they’re the less bad of the two main groups (the worse being Boko Haram).
