The President’s Bogus Crusade

by Daniel Larison

“Trump’s threatened intervention in Nigeria’s internal affairs is not legitimate in any way. The U.S. has no international mandate to act, and it doesn’t have permission from the Nigerian government. Congress certainly hasn’t authorized any mission in Nigeria for any purpose. None of this matters to the lawless president, but it does matter for the interests and reputation of the United States. The president is not an emperor with a responsibility to protect Christians in other lands.” (11/06/25)
