Our country's standing around the globe has sunk into the gutter under Trump and we are the laughing stock of the world.

Now despotic regimes will use our own president's words to make us look like hypocrites if we call them out when they kill their citizens for excercising basic freedoms.

Why ther hell are you so concerned what Nigeria thinks of us? I mean really? Do you lose sleep at night over such petty crap like that?

I guess our "standing in the world" is not so low that tens of thousands of foriegners are trying to illegally cross our borders though..too bad

It is their country.

If they don't follow rules of engagement, then that is too bad.

Plus, I wasn't there, I don't know how bad the situation was over there. So I cannot really say if the killing is justified or not.

My brother has done a few ops in foreign countries, (including some African countries) the situation there was really bad. So who am I to judge if the killing is justified or not. Nobody knows.

Having been to Nigerian twice in the 70's and 80's I can tell you Nigeria is in the gutter and has been for years.

Yes and now they are using our President's words to justify murder.

This has got to be one of the silliest things I've heard lately. Like those crazy ass warlords on that continent are waiting with baited breath to decide what to do and are looking to trump for direction?

The OP has a very dismal lack of understanding of how things work, especially for that part of the world.
