The US is moving to reclaim the Bagram airbase from the Taliban after losing it during the chaotic withdrawal from Afghanistan, Donald Trump announced.
“We’re trying to get it back, by the way,” Mr Trump told reporters during a joint press conference with Sir Keir Starmer in Aylesbury on Thursday.
The Bagram base was the largest operated by the US in Afghanistan and is strategically important in countering China’s growing influence in the region.
Mr Trump suggested that he was negotiating with the Taliban to retake ownership, adding: “We’re trying to get it back because they need things from us. We want that base back.”
Maybe he should have included that in the deal, when he surrendered to the Taliban, the last time.
Now whose administration was it that signed the withdrawal deal, I wonder?
Oh that’s right. Donald Trump’s.
Create problem. Fix problem. Repeat. 🙄
Create problem. Blame the other guy and promise to fix it. Make it worse. Claim it’s fixed. Repeat.
Nothing like letting the Taliban know “Oh yeah we are trying to take that back” on public channels so they can get everything nice and reinforced and ready for you and make it as much of a pain in the ass as possible.
Yes, beautiful deals with the Taliban, Putin… Americans, are you going to do something with your clown-king or what?
What’s your proposal?
I have never been to the USA and know too little about inner naunces to propose anything. But revolution is always a good way to explain to politicians who the people are, who the politicians are, and how it all works.
Why yes, they are. A month from now, they’re going to wave signs at nazis again.
Maybe he should go over there and take a look at it…? You know, inspect it for… reasons or whatever, just cuz?
