    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).
