Officials from the administration US President Donald Trump are pushing Afghan forces to move their soldiers to big cities like the capital Kabul, sources say. Citing three officials familiar with the president’s war strategy, The New York Times reported Sunday that the incentive is avoiding aggressors’ attacks in isolated outposts manned by Afghan forces. The officials further told the daily that the approach is a previously undisclosed part of the war strategy that the president announced in 2017. PressTV-Rocket attacks wound at least 3 in Afghan capital Several rockets have been separately fired at different residential areas in the Afghan capital of Kabul, wounding at least three people, police say. “The withdrawal resembles strategies embraced by both the Bush and Obama administrations that have started and stuttered over the nearly 17-year war. It will effectively ensure that the Taliban and other insurgent groups will hold on to territory that they have already seized, leaving the government in Kabul to safeguard the capital and cities such as Kandahar, Kunduz, Mazar-i-Sharif and Jalalabad,” read the report. Earlier this month, US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said Washington is ready to negotiate with Taliban. PressTV-‘US ready for direct talks with Afghan Taliban’ The United States has expressed readiness to initiate direct talks with the Taliban in an attempt to end a 17-year-old war in Afghanistan. This is while Trump has boosted US forces in Afghanistan, bringing the official number to 14,000 American soldiers. He has also removed any timeline for the US forces to leave the country. “The retreat to the cities is a searing acknowledgment that the American-installed government in Afghanistan remains unable to lead and protect the country’s sprawling rural population. Over the years, as waves of American and NATO troops have come and left in repeated cycles, the government has slowly retrenched and ceded chunks of territory to the Taliban, cleaving Afghanistan into disparate parts and ensuring a conflict with no end in sight,” read the Times. The United States invaded Afghanistan in October 2001 after the September 11 attacks on New York and Washington, and overthrew the Taliban regime. But US forces have remained bogged down there through the presidencies of George W. Bush, Barack Obama and now Trump. Taliban militants have warned of stepping up their attacks until the US forces fully withdraw from Afghanistan after more than a decade and half of occupation. Poster Comment: [Tatarewicz] Had US not intervened in Afghanistan where Arab soldiers were doing their field training to oust Israeli squatters from Palestine there wouldn't have been wars in Iraq and Syria. Would have been most likely pogrom #110, the final one. [Henry Asta] Americans, blinded by a satanic delusion disseminated by treasonous wolves in sheep’s clothing standing in the pulpits of greed, such as Zionist fanatics John Hagee, Franklin Graham, Mike Huckabee, Pat Robertson and many others can’t comprehend that the illegitimate state of Israel was created by the satanic Rothschild Zionist fake Jewish Banking Oligarchs as a stepping stone to invade and take over the entire Middle East, and eventually the whole world, in control of the Federal Reserve System, the Military Industrial Complex, the British Government, the European Union, the Knesset, the International Monetary Fund, the World Bank, and the United Nations, at the expense of the blood and limb of the unsuspecting members of the U.S. Armed Forces that have been easily brainwashed into believing that they are fighting for freedom, when in reality they are fighting for their own enslavement under the yoke of heavy taxation, and under the yoke of an usurious banking system. [Anon] The great satan is carrying out an evil strategy of damaging Russia,Iran and Pakistan with easy heroin supplies. Together with China they must evict the satan and bring the warring sides to an arrangement. The jewenile US is out of its depth here. [Anon] Russia made the great satan behave on Syria by threatening to supply the taliban with the 100% kill rate unjammable picture guided VERBA manpads. Without helicopter transport the hillybillys would be forced out of Afghanistan in 3 weeks. Post Comment Private Reply Ignore Thread
