" It’s the first time the U.S. has ever fired missiles into Nigeria, but it’s one of several countries the Trump administration has bombed this year. In 2025, U.S. forces launched more than a thousand strikes against civilians in Yemen, more than a hundred in Somalia mostly targeting fishermen, dozens against resistance groups in Syria to support the ISIS takeover, 29 and counting against mostly fishermen in the Caribbean and the eastern Pacific, plus some strikes targeting Iran’s nuclear program. All of those efforts killed innocent people and damaged things, but none appear to have achieved anything lasting."
