With his Christmas air-strikes [11] on Nigeria, Trump is blundering into a conflict fundamentally driven by desertification [12] related to the very climate change that he denies [13], and which now threatens democratic rule [14] throughout the West African region. And while the Muslim-Christian sectarian strife [15] that Trump hypes is a large element of the situation, the violence [16] has gone both ways [17]. Furthermore, making Christians the preceived beneficiaries of imperialist intervention is only likely to exacerbate the tensions and make Christians more of a target. In Episode 310 of the CounterVortex podcast [18], Bill Weinberg takes an in-depth and unsparing look.
