Sir Ralph

Basically he would need to become a better manager😆

Great hair

This is giving me shivers

In my opinion, thats not a good enough reason for not intervening here and trying to destroy their structures to at least reduce their capacity to kill, rape and harm. It may not solve everything but it should make it much more difficult for them

I don’t want to upset you but most politicians at senior levels do, even the ones you like. I can’t see what would be selfish about this though so when there is evidence I would be happy to agree with you. Until then it’s speculation

It’s not speculative because he is starting to action it. If you read the article he’s putting political pressure so I’m crediting his work to date. Obviously if he doesn’t follow through then no. The use of the word speculation is based on something with little or no information or evidence

At the moment I would personally take that to get some stability.

Personally I think O’Neill would be a good shout

Don’t give them ideas….

If you look at the key politicians in the US they are Christian (the US is a Christian country obviously) and a lot of the Republican voting base is also. I think a lot of the discussion about the Nigerian involvement is related to that. The issue of the killing of Nigerian Christians has been circulating as a key matter in conservative groups for a number of months. Honestly I don’t know as much about what is happening in the Sudan but I understand that this is a mix of issues. I’m not personally saying that it wouldn’t be great to stop some of the utterly awful things happening there but the reasons for Trump to have to intervene may be different. I don’t think he will. Sudan has lots of natural resources and is politically much less stable so if he did get involved somebody could allege the same reasons you have in relation to Nigeria. In fact intervention in Sudan maybe easier politically and in terms of grabbing resource, if that was the aim. Therefore I wouldn’t say a lack of intervention in Sudan would prove he is getting involved in Nigeria for economic reasons if that makes sense i would like Trump to threaten military action on staple wood though if they don’t pull their fingers out😂

I actually removed that comment as I agree with you in principle. However, there isn’t any evidence in relation to Nigeria. So what we agree is that he wouldn’t need military action if he wanted ti exploit energy resources. So why then is he not using other means of control in Nigeria to gain control of energy resources as we know he doesn’t want to get involved in boots on the ground. Instead it’s more likely that he is threatening a military stance to stop radicalised militants killing people as force is the only think those nut jobs will listen to

This is speculative and very weak. Where is your evidence of this? If you don’t have evidence of this, your reason for not stopping this genocide is speculative in the context of tens of thousands of lives that could be saved.

So what is the bad thing about stopping this specific genocide then?

.

I agree I didn’t say they shouldn’t get involved in facilitating a ceasefire. The US is a Christian country and he is protecting Christians in Nigeria so there is a cultural link. Not one you may consider important but one key US politicians believe is

Ok is stopping this genocide a good or bad action by Trump? What you said is obviously not what I’m saying. You can criticise him for some actions but if he does a good thing dont then ignore that good thing by harping on about bad things you think he has done which aren’t related.

A number of you seem to think that Trump shouldn’t be doing this. I asked you a couple of times and you dodged the question. Either Trump stopping this genocide is a good or bad thing.

So he should have stayed out of the Gaza issue then and shouldn’t have helped achieve the ceasefire? Your point is a crude on though because if an intervention inevitably results in some deaths but stops genocide overall it’s a good thing. You are comparing this to Iraq and Afghanistan which were invaded for completely different reasons. Again I’m very surprised that people think stopping genocide is a bad idea. Very weird

Just admit it’s a good thing rather than finding an excuse to criticise

Ukraine isn’t genocide based on religious belief. They have an army and it’s a war. Completely different and not comparable. Basic stuff

The responses to this are quite amazing and flabbergasting. You lot think this genocide should continue unchecked I presume then?

Nothing to do with that. Last time I checked stopping genocide was a good thing but maybe it is dependent on who is dying?! Try again.

They will if the US goes into Nigeria and exterminates them and if they don’t problem solved anyway. This is about putting pressure on the Nigerian government to use its military to stop this genocide, rather than standing by. US intervention will be a last resort but after Iran people know Trump will back up his statements

The police haven’t confirmed the motive yet. So two blokes decided, with no ideological motive, to go and stab a load of people on a Saturday night. There is a motive but the police either don’t know yet or don’t want to release the reasons yet. If there was only one guy I could understand it is some deranged lunatic but with two there is a plan and motive And of course it’s good news that there are now only 2 people in critical condition and we hope they survive

Preventing more unnecessary deaths, unless that’s a reason to be criticised nowadays
