In one of the deadliest attacks in recent memory in Afghanistan, the
Taliban has attacked a police training campus in Wardak Province, just
southwest of the capital city of Kabul. Officials have confirmed at least 126 killed, mostly police but also including eight commandos.
The attack began with a US Humvee full of explosives, as a bomber
smashed the Humvee into the facility by ramming through a checkpoint,
and then detonated inside the campus, causing a large number of
casualties.
This was just the start of the attack, as at least two gunmen stormed in
after the explosion and shot as many people as possible before finally
getting killed themselves. The Pentagon has so far not commented on the
attack.
But the attack is the latest in an ever-growing series of Taliban
strikes, with the group keen to show that it is not only capable of
attacking soft targets, but is willing and able to inflict mass
casualties on security forces.
This will continue until they get their country back. After 18 years, U.S. should come to the terms that they will not be able to control this country with a puppet government.
No, it’s in our dna to keep doing the same thing over and over–Einstein’s definition of insanity.
No country will ever trust ANY government that has US finger prints on it. Would you ?
Our exceptionalism relies greatly upon our entitled oligarchs and their useful idiots devotion to Einstein’s definition of insanity. Didn’t they call this the “mad man” theory or something ?

Washington seems to be incapable of understanding that there are always unintended consequences to its nation-building exercises.
126 dead Quislings. Bet that will shorten the lines at the Afghan police recruiting offices.
The United States can be in Afghan for the next 500 years and still never defeat the Taliban. The country has never been defeated since before 330 BC if not longer.
