Afghan Taliban sends warning to Trump in bitter exchange |
2019-09-13 |
[DAWN] The war of words between the Taliban![]() and United States President Donald Trump ...dictatorial for repealing some (but not all) of the diktats of his predecessor, misogynistic because he likes pretty girls, homophobic because he doesn't think gender bending should be mandatory, truly a man for all seasons...... escalated on Thursday as the Afghan forces of Evil warned that the US leader had failed to grasp "what type of nation he is dealing with". The latest salvo in the bitter exchange comes a day after Trump boasted during a 9/11 anniversary ceremony that US forces have "hit our enemy harder than they have ever been hit before and that will continue" just days after peace talks between the two sides collapsed. "Trump (@realDonaldTrump) must tread carefully," tweeted Taliban front man Zabihullah Mujahid. "He has yet to grasp the type of nation he is dealing with. His advisers must make him understand and introduce the Graveyard of Empires #Afghanistan to him." Until this weekend, there had been steadily mounting expectations of a deal that would see the US draw down troop levels in Afghanistan. In return, the Taliban would offer security guarantees to keep krazed killer groups out. But then on Saturday, Trump revealed on Twitter that he had cancelled an unprecedented meeting between the Taliban and himself at Camp David and later said the talks with the forces of Evil were "dead". The Taliban front man's tweet comes just hours after the group launched a suicide kaboom that killed at least four soldiers near Kabul, as the bully boyz ramp up attacks on security forces. The incident occurred at a special forces base in Char Asiab district just south of the capital Kabul where an murderous Moslem driving an exploding car detonated near the facility's entrance. "Four soldiers were killed, and three injured," said interior ministry front man Nasrat Rahimi. Afghan special forces ‐ numbering around 17,000 ‐ represent a small fraction of the 300,000 strong Afghan armed forces but have been carrying out the bulk of offensive operations across Afghanistan in recent years.
