How do you just follow the order to bomb a place for no reason?
I'm sure they're given reasons, but the reasons are lies.
"Just following orders" again.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coup_Belt
There's been a string of North African countries launching coups against corrupt national governments since the turn of 2020. A lot of these coups came in the wake of US military operations ostensibly targeting "terrorist" groups, but which harassed and tormented locals so miserably that they kicked off domestic insurrection.
I wonder what we'll see in Nigeria after this slaughter.
Not to discount the high chance that they're just imbeciles, but the stated reason maybe bullshit to cover for some other clandestine fuckery.
For example, they wanted to extrajudicially assassinate someone of interest but couldn't do so without a huge collateral death toll.
