President Trump Wants U.S. Troops Back in Afghanistan
The president announces in a joint press conference with Prime Minister of the U.K. Keir Starmer that his regime is trying to get Bagram Airbase back from Taliban
Despite botching the operation itself, one of the very few good things that Joe Biden did during his presidency was to pull American troops out of Afghanistan, but now President Donald Trump has announced that he wants to get Bagram Airbase in Afghanistan back from the Taliban and put U.S. troops back into the country.

Trump says that the base is apparently close to where the Chinese government makes nuclear weapons and so is of strategic interest to the United States government. There is no good reason for a single American troop to step foot in Afghanistan, and doing it to provoke the Chinese government is a particularly bad reason. Average Americans can no longer afford to pay for Washington’s imperial ambition and no longer want to lose their lives for it either. After campaigning on “no more stupid wars,” is there a single war or military escalation that the second Trump regime won’t find itself involved in?
