They should substitute their flag for the Genki Sudo one. It'd be so fitting. We are all one if you believe exactly how I believe to the smallest detail. Then there will be one-world peace with no borders. We tromp on borders with human remains in our boots very peacefully.

I find it ironic that so many posters in here are calling for potential invasion of Nigeria over this, when the use of children for suicide bombings has been used so widely by Islamic groups in Iraq and Afghanistan for years.

I think it's the ongoing massacre of which only a fraction gets mentioned. Children suicide bombers is the ultimate low. But as you say it's happened frequently before.

And no one bats an eye. In fact, there are many in this forum that believe the Taliban and Iraqi insurgents were some sort of freedom fighters, taking up arms against the oppressive US.

Or we would, if we weren't currently too preoccupied caring about all the shit taking place in our own countries.

No we wouldn't. Horrible shot happens all the time in Africa, and we done do anything. Some lip service about how bad it is there and NOTHING else.

We didn't care when this same group abducted a shitload of girls (#bringbackourgirls). Wonder if this was one if the same ones?

Rwanda? Sierra Leone? Congo? The other Congo?

No one gives a fuck.

Apartheid in South Africa, Robert Mugabe in Zimbabwe, Idi Amin in Uganda, the Tutsi genocide in Rwanda, Mobuto in Zaire et cetera were all hot topics at their time, at least once the magnitude of the events became clear. In contrast, the current anarchy in Somalia and the ongoing conflict in Nigeria goes almost completely unreported. Even the Nigerian Civil War back in the 60s got more coverage than the war in the same country today. Our focus has simply shifted to other more pressing events.
Besides, the amount of attention media devotes to an event is contingent on how much information and material it can get on it. It is easy to report on events in France - it is almost impossible to do the same in inland Nigeria. There aren't exactly legions of local bloggers posting video clips on the internet, and a reporter going into the region would likely not come out again.

Localized (albeit horrific) conflicts vs global threats to world peace?

What did we do to oppose Apartheid in south africa? Oh right, nothing.
Mugabe? he is still in power. not sure where you were going with that.
Idi Amin? how did we oppose him? he was deposed by a war with Tanzania, the USA did nothing.
Rwanda? again, not a fucking thing from the USA to stop it. Lots fo lip service about how bad things are while eat some Mcdonalds.
Mobutu? He was straight up our man. USA backed.

We do a whole lot of talking about africa. And thats it.

 
Honestly, it is kind of tough for a country like the US to act on this kind of thing in countries where the governments themselves are intolerably corrupt and sometimes came into power themselves through similar means. We have done a fair bit of that in other places over the last couple decades and it does not seem to have worked out to well for us in any way shape or form.

We would literally have to act unilaterally and completely covertly to really be successful. We would have to attack without the approval or even knowledge of the existing governments. They are so corrupt that word of any collaboration would instantly make it to Boko Haram.

And we would have to leave the second they got there. A straight in and out big scale black op. Unfortunately you just don't see as many of those these days. 1000 or so special forces people sneak in, royally fuck Boko Haram in the ass for 24-36 hours, then just fly back out and let the people that have been getting raped and killed finish them off.

I was responding to the "don't give a fuck" bit, not the "did nothing about it" bit. Of course, international resistance to Apartheid was a significant factor in ending it, but sure, overall there hasn't been much in the way of intervening (some would say meddling) in the affairs of African states. But that wasn't my point. People care(d) a great deal about Africa, they just lack the inclination to actually get involved.
Post 9-11 interest has been steadily dropping though, and with the ongoing financial crisis, the Arab Spring, the Ukraine invasion et cetera there is too much stuff going on too close to home for people to even bother to stay updated on what's going on in Africa.

Apropos Boko Haram is should probably be mentioned that France currently has boots on the ground in Mali, however.

ok, we are just differing about what actually constitutes giving a fuck about something.

I think most people just want to sound like they are caring about something ( or pile on Islam recently) instead of having any actual interest in helping these people at all. its like having an i support veterans bumper sticker. People just want the easiest way that they can feel better about themselves, not affect the situation in any way. whatsoever.
 
It's pathetic they'd use a little girl like that. Still, it's better those retards bomb themselves than the developed world. Fucking idiots.
 
Poor girl. Someone drop a fkn bomb on these scumbags already

The US Navy has a new rail gun appearantly. Seems like a good place to do some target practice.
