US Tried To Arm Iran Protesters, But Lost Weapons, Says Trump by God1000(op): 7:04am On Apr 07

President Donald Trump said on Monday that the United States attempted to arm Iranian protesters, but the weapons were diverted and never passed to the right people.

“We sent guns, a lot of guns; they were supposed to go to the people so they could fight back against these thugs,” Trump told reporters while at a White House Easter event.

“You know what happened? The people that they sent them to kept them,” Trump went on, adding: “So I’m very upset with a certain group of people, and they’re going to pay a big price for that.”

Trump did not give details about who he was accusing of taking the US weapons.

However, on Sunday, Trump was quoted as saying by a Fox News reporter that he blamed Kurdish intermediaries for having taken weapons destined for Iranian dissidents.

They're already doing the same thing in Nigeria, just waiting for it to spiral out of control so they can step in and act like saviors.

the problem is that if our president refuses, he will be insulted and tagged as a terrorist supporter by some people being that he's a Muslim

Nigeria deserves any form of intervention it can get from almost anyone. Your leaders are the most unserious set of people in the whole world running a country.
What? People that pamper terrorists, play all sorts of useless politics without addressing any real security issue on ground. Can anyone mention any particular aspect of governance that your leaders have successfully tackled since independence? Mention just one.
Infact Nigeria needs to be recolonized.

Trump armed the people to protect the protesters against the killing of the protesters by the supreme ~~leader~~ terrorist, Ayatollah.

The way terrorists are killing people in Nigeria without the government doing anything, if Trump now shares guns to the people to defend themselves, due to your love for terrorism, you would say Trump wants to distabilize Nigeria.
Pray your support for terrorism will not consume you.

Trump admits he got SCAMMED by group he armed to back Iranian 'protesters'

'Instead KEPT THE GUNS TO THEMSELVES — because they said what beautiful guns'

The US sent weapons to the Kurds in Iran so the Kurds can rise up against the Iranian government. Kurds in Syria and Iraq quickly reminded the Iranian Kurds how the US has betrayed them in the past. So the Iranian Kurds quietly collected the weapons and told the US to f(u)ck off. This is what Trump is angry about. But he is too much of a brain dead individual to remember that he was the one who first betrayed the Kurds in Syria under Assad.

Abi oo.

Why do people not learn? Bigotry and hate is a really big disease. It blocks sense and logic.

Which country has America ever helped out of a problem?

They are only after oil and resources.

Nigerian christians are the obstacle holding this country back.

The earlier the country breaks itself from. the bondage of 5he church like UK amd Europe did, the sooner we will start to see progress. Otherwise, expect nothing good.

He has already caused it.

Actually, he isn't the cause. He's only a symptom.

Just as Tinubu isn't the cause of Nigeria's problems. He's only a symptom of our problems.

The greed of the church is what's holding this country to ransom.

Sane countries have big tech. Nigeria has big church.

The FAANG of Nigeria is the church industry.

What a republic!

This mentality is part of the problem. You don't believe that we have ability to save ourselves but that the Americans or who ever else will save us. Some people in this country have never escaped colonialism. No body will save us but us. We have to hold our leaders accountable by force and live by example of the type of governance we want in our everyday lives.

Lol. How about you tell your masters to stop supplying weapons to terrorists? That's another good option.

In fact, it's the first option on the list of sensible people.

Thank you President Donald Trump for exposing every of the US evil secrets.

The Kurds are smart enough not to fell for their trap. You deceived them in Syria and left them to their fate after the fall of Bashar Al Assaad so they're not going to fall again.
