Abuja, Nigeria — A day after part of a missile fired by the United States hit their village, landing just meters from its only medical facility, the people of Jabo in northwestern Nigeria are in a state of shock and confusion.

According to US Africa Command, the operation neutralized multiple ISIS militants. But Trump’s explanation has left Kagara and his fellow villagers scratching their heads. villagers say Jabo is not known for terrorist activity and that local Christians coexist peacefully with the Muslim majority.

Bashar Isah Jabo, a lawmaker representing Tambuwal in the state parliament, described the village to CNN as “a peaceful community” that has “no known history of ISIS, Lakurawa, or any other terrorist groups operating in the area.”

There’s this, the Venezuelan assassinations, the whole Gaza situation, Ukraine. One good thing Trump has done is mask off the US hegemony.

There is a single rule that ALL politicians should live by. Don’t give your friend power that you would give your worst enemy. So many nations have failed or are failing this rule

One good thing Trump has done is mask off the US hegemony.

To "mask something off" is a phrase that means to cover it up. I assume what you meant is "to take the mask off" or to do something with "mask off" which means the opposite.

The whole Gaza situation is Biden's genocide, he unmasked US hegemony. Trump is just doing business as normal, with extra fascism.
