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.

    What kind of moron would sign any kind of deal or treaty with Trump?
    Is there actually any international agreement that he HASN'T shat all over? The US has zero credibility with him in charge.

    This is the second-most damaging aspect of having him as president, yes (the first being, the fundie whackjobs actually care more about stuffing the judiciary than the executive, and have used him to do that). It's going to take at least 50 years to rebuild the world's trust in the US, and that's assuming we get our shit together right now in November 2020.
