Trump Threatens Afghanistan With ‘Bad Things’ If Bagram Not Handed Back To US
US President Donald Trump threatened Afghanistan with unspecified “bad things” if it doesn’t turn the massive Bagram Air Base outside Kabul back to United States, an action previously rejected by the country’s Taliban rulers.
"If Afghanistan doesn’t give Bagram Airbase back to those that built it, the United States of America, BAD THINGS ARE GOING TO HAPPEN," Trump said on September 20 in a Truth Social post.
Trump did not immediately follow up the social media post, and the White House did not immediately comment.

Sounds similar to the threat Trump made when Iraq was trying to get the US to leave during his first term. He bluntly threatened he would do the same things as Obama when his predecessor was confronted with abandoning the US presence. He would back mass protests against Baghdad, stage false flag terror attacks between the Shia and Sunni, re-arm Islamic State in Irag and the Levant (ISIL), and withhold weapons deliveries to the government in Baghdad. In Afghanistan, it would be ISIS-K or ISIS Khorasan which has been supported by the US, India, and possibly Pakistan as well. The group is made of some of the IS fighters the US evacuated from Iraq and Syria and from the Pakistani Taliban. |
