Trump threatened the “most brutal” response if the Taliban refused.

The Taliban has reacted sharply to US President Donald Trump’s call to return Bagram Air Base, which is currently under the authority of the Afghan regime, to American control, Bloomberg reports .

“Afghanistan is fully independent, ruled by its own people and not dependent on any foreign power. We are not afraid of any hooligan or aggressor,” said Armed Forces Chief of Staff Fasihuddin Fitrat during a speech in Kabul broadcast on state television.

  1. Surprise! They said not just no, not just Hell NO!, but HELL FUCK NO! And that is the biggest no there is.
    Frankly I can’t say I blame them.
    They spent 20 year trying to get rid of us. What made TACO think they would just let us waltz right back in?
    For a man who has come up with some stupid ideas this one takes the Reality Check Prize for Idiocy.
