President Trump’s decision to order strikes against ISIS-affiliated militants in northwest Nigeria was a bold, necessary step to protect persecuted Christians and send a message the world could not ignore. U.S. Africa Command confirmed that strikes were carried out in Sokoto State on Dec. 25 at the direction of the President and the Secretary of War, acting in coordination with Nigerian authorities.
The Commander in Chief made plain on his social platform that these strikes were a direct response to the savage targeting of Christian communities, and he promised more action if the slaughter continued. Defense officials and the Secretary of War publicly backed the operation and praised the precision of the mission, proving once again that America under Trump will defend religious liberty abroad rather than stand by while innocents are butchered.
This was not a unilateral stunt — the Pentagon says the Nigerian government approved and helped coordinate the mission, showing real partnership where it matters: on the battlefield. That cooperation is what gets results; when American resolve meets local intelligence and political will, terrorists bleed and communities breathe easier.
Conservative leaders like Rep. Pete Sessions were right to tell Newsmax that the president’s message about Christian persecution was “quite clear,” because decency and the defense of the innocent are not negotiable. Patriots watching should welcome clarity and action — not the moral equivocation from the usual media and left-wing elites who pretend both sides always suffer equally when one group is being targeted for extermination.
Make no mistake: this administration is reasserting American strength and moral leadership, and that is exactly what the world needs. The alternative — a feckless, apologetic policy that treats religious slaughter as regional nuance — is a recipe for more chaos and more victims; our country should stand with the oppressed, project power where necessary, and refuse to let Christians be erased on someone else’s watch.
Now Congress and the American people should back the President and our armed forces with the tools they need to finish the job: sustained pressure on hostile networks, smarter intelligence sharing, and tougher consequences for governments that tolerate persecution. If we care about faith, freedom, and the safety of innocent families, we will applaud toughness when it’s justified and demand continuity until the killers are cleared from the field.
