Trump calls off Afghan peace talks

A slight over reaction, and a damn fool move, on his part it would seem.

I not so sure. A lot of the mainstream Conservative commentariat in the USA considered that Trump was selling the Afghan people down the river by these talks and handing victory on a plate to the Taliban.

Trump’s actions have allowed him to pull back from this whilst saving face.

On Thursday, a Kabul car bombing carried out by the Taliban killed 12 people, including a US soldier. A Romanian soldier serving with the Nato-led mission was also killed.

But the Taliban had never agreed to end their violent campaign against Afghan and foreign forces while the peace talks were taking place. Sixteen US troops have been killed this year.

This is why Trump called it off, the Taliban have to stop murdering people like this before the talks.

This is the BBC still trying to make it look bad on him somehow. Well, they'd never agreed to a ceasefire so... it was alright for them to do it.

Again, this is how revolts are. The BBC is merely stating a fact here, if he looks like a tool... well.

Did you know that the attack in Kabul last week was on the US embassy?

Nope but i fail to see how that is overly relevant? Its not exactly a secret that the Taliban are fans of these tactics.

Oh, you didn't know that. Not your fault, I can't find any mention of it in the BBC link either because they INTENTIONALLY/DELIBERATELY/WILFULLY set out to hide it from public view in their effort to make Trump look as bad as possible. Absolute nause, really.

Is it that irrelevant for them to have secret talks booked with Trump and go out and do this? You're right that it's a customary tactic of theirs but I wouldn't blame Trump for standing up to them. I actually fully afree with him on this one.

A recent escalation of violence had deepened fears that a looming US-Taliban agreement would not end the daily fighting in Afghanistan and its toll on civilians.

Yet Kabul residents on Sunday questioned why the death of one US soldier should scupper prospects for peace.

"So, the Afghans who have been losing their sweet lives during all these years, is their blood worthless?" asked one grocery shop owner who spoke to the BBC's Pashto language service.

Trump does not want peace. Trump wants pieces. Pieces of foreign countries torn up to supply America with oil.

"If they cannot agree to a ceasefire during these very important peace talks, and would even kill 12 innocent people, then they probably don't have the power to negotiate a meaningful agreement anyway," Trump tweeted, adding that the Taliban sought to "build false leverage".

"I immediately cancelled the meeting and called off peace negotiations. What kind of people would kill so many in order to seemingly strengthen their bargaining position?" Trump said.

You ignored this part....

The blast took place on Thursday in Shash Darak, a heavily fortified area adjacent to the Green Zone and home to several important complexes, including the National Directorate of Security (NDS), the Afghan intelligence service, and the US embassy.

A slight over reaction, and a damn fool move, on his part it would seem.

Well that man wants to Nuke someone before he leaves the office. He has no intention of peace whatsoever.

Trump does not want peace. Trump wants pieces. Pieces of foreign countries torn up to supply America with oil.

How much oil does the US get from Afghanistan...?
