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.

    Well, 25 dead ANDSF troops suggests that maybe - just maybe - the Taliban launched their attacks first? I wasn't there to see it, but TFA suggests the drone was launched in response to Taliban attacks on ANDSF checkpoints. So, who was first?
