Since Donald Trump is trying to start another oil war, let's talk about it. A coworker mentioned how Trump wants to invade Nigeria to stop the Christian genocide and I just shook my head. Trump is not concerned with the Christian genocide. Then he said at least they don't have oil. I was like are you kidding? Of course they do. When I came back from Ireland I was concerned about Canada selling CANDU reactors to China to promote nuclear weapons.
I teamed up with Sid Tan from the Sierra club and met him at a Shell oil protest in the /90's when my kids were very young. The signs read Shell Drills while Nigeria Kills. They were reference to the military crackdown of the Ogoni protests.
The point is Nigeria has oil and I can't help but think this Christian genocide was once again orchestrated by the CIA to justify intervention. Remember Trump's militarily strikes against Venezuela have absolutely nothing to do with drugs. Venezuela is not a large drug player in the area and the drugs they were involved with were run by the CIA which is not surprising.
The US has a military base in Honduras where they ship drugs directly to the US on military planes. Iran contra never stopped. Trump's real concerns with Venezuela are political. Venezuela has oil. Socialized oil. Enough said. One of the purposes of Operation Fast and Furious was to discredit the president of Mexico at the time so another president could be elected who handed over the nationalized oil to American oil companies.
"Islamist militancy in Nigeria is being strengthened by western and regional fossil fuel interests." Big Surprise. Nigeria is the largest oil and gas producer in Africa. Do the math.
