Secretary of State Marco Rubio made similar comments, stating that the administration was “very concerned about violence against Christians,” From Wikipedia, “Christianity is the most widely professed religion in Cuba”. There goes the premise of your argument for US sanctioned violence.
The U.S. and Nigerian governments keep insisting this was a “precision” operation, yet every detail from Metele tells a different story. Villagers describe children playing and women cooking moments before the bombs fell — “there was nothing to suggest that anything unusual was about to happen” — and afterward the hospitals were overwhelmed with women and children burned, shattered, and dying. That is not precision. That is impunity.
AFRICOM claims 175 “terrorists” were killed, but they can’t name them, can’t prove it, and won’t even respond when confronted with the civilian dead. Meanwhile, the Nigerian governor openly declares civilian areas fair game, and the Pentagon has gutted its own civilian‑harm safeguards. This isn’t counterterrorism; it’s the normalization of collective punishment.
The administration wraps these strikes in a narrative about defending Christians, but the people dying in Metele — Christians, Muslims, families simply trying to live — are treated as expendable. The rhetoric is holy war; the reality is a village reduced to ash.
If this is what “flawlessly executed” looks like, then the flaw is moral, not tactical. And unless someone is held accountable, Metele won’t be an aberration — it will be the template.
The same pattern appears in U.S. operations against alleged drug trafficking vessels in the Caribbean and Eastern Pacific, where fishermen, smugglers and ordinary coastal workers are killed under false pretenses, with no effort to separate the innocent from the guilty. A government that kills first and justifies later is not defending democracy, it is acting with impunity and playing God with human lives.
If the U.S. and Nigeria want to call these actions “counterterrorism,” they need to explain why entire villages and civilian crews, not militants, are ending up dead. Until there is real transparency and accountability, this is state violence against civilians. These are crimes against humanity! The USA is now a verified banana republic!!
Is there no.place on this earth that the US is not bombing????
DC and Northern Virginia, and maybe The Hamptons.

Sad beyond belief…
