Secretary of State Antony Blinken condemned the attack by unknown assailants on a U.S. convoy in Nigeria, which left four people dead, including two staff members of the U.S. Consulate in the country.

“We do not yet know the motive for the attack, but we have no indications at this time that it was targeted against our Mission,” Blinken said in a statement. “We condemn in the strongest terms this attack. We will work closely with our Nigerian law enforcement colleagues in seeking to bring those responsible to justice.”

Time for a little gunboat diplomacy.

But instead we get rubber ducky diplomacy.

Yep, completely random attack. No chance Muslims attacked a U.S. target out of hatred for America. Motive may never be known.

I had to go back & reread the headline. I thought it said:

“Blinken condones attack on US convoy in Nigeria”

Agree - he should follow up that finger wagging with a ‘strongly worded letter’.

Nobody on this planet fears anyone in this administration.

Blinkey needs to talk his Kenyan buddy into going over there and telling his Nigerian brothers to knock it off.

Seems like this scenario happens every-time a DEM is in office.

Per Blinken: “The United States has no greater priority than the safety and security of our personnel. We express our heartfelt condolences to the families of those killed in the attack, and pledge to do everything possible to safely recover those who remain missing,” Christopher Stevens was not available for comment.

Our country has died. Most just do not realize it yet. Hope you are prepared.
