Right so what would you do in Nigeria and Mali, two countries with weak militaries struggling to maintain control of their territory? Options

1. Ignore their requests for training, because who cares about them. If they’re overrun by jihadists, it’s fine.

2. Train their military, helping them maintain peace and security internally. Consequences - you’ll be on the hook for any actions that military takes in the future. Intellectuals on HN will criticise this action with the benefit of hindsight.

Please, choose one.

The thing with “clever” comments like yours is that the lack the basic level of thought.



Maybe USA should never have trained jihadists in first place ? can you see the pattern ?


Please tell me more about how Boko Haram was trained by America?

Can you see a pattern of ignorance?
