Well that was quick! U.S. attacks Taliban in Afghanistan

Journal by DeathMonkey

The United States has conducted an airstrike against the Taliban in Afghanistan after President Donald Trump boasted he secured peace with the group.

Military officials confirmed on Wednesday the airstrike was to interrupt a planned attack on a checkpoint run by the Afghan National Defence and Security Forces (ANDSF).

The strike was from a drone, according to military officials.

    Supposedly the US and the Taliban agreed, but the puppet government refused. And so the Taliban hit them, and the US dropped a few million dollars of TNT. On something. Somewhere nearby.
