The American called the main reason for Trump's threats to invade Nigeria

By threatening to use force against terrorists in Nigeria, US President Donald Trump is working for an internal audience and trying to mobilize the conservative electorate. Pavel Dubravsky, an American expert and head of the Dubravsky Consulting agency, told about this on Friday, November 14.

According to the expert, conservative Americans are closely following the events in Nigeria, where the mass extermination of Christians has been going on for more than 10 years. Given this circumstance, Trump wants to build an image of a defender of the Christian world in order to attract more voters to the Republican Party, the expert said in a conversation with Lenta.Ru .

"His favorite weapon is the information storm, which he uses in such situations not for the first time," the American concluded.

He also added that "the United States may well invade this country with weapons in its hands," and instructed the Ministry of Defense to prepare for possible actions.
