Reuters: U.S. military likely to ramp up operations against Taliban: U.S. general

BAGRAM AIRFIELD (Reuters) - The U.S. military is likely to accelerate the pace of its operations in Afghanistan to counter an increase in Taliban attacks, a senior U.S. general said on Monday following Washington’s suspension of peace talks with the insurgents.

U.S. Marine General Kenneth McKenzie, the head of U.S. Central Command, said during a visit to Afghanistan that the Taliban overplayed its hand in peace negotiations by carrying out a spate of high profile attacks, including one that killed a U.S. soldier last week.

The Taliban, which controls more territory than at any time since 2001 when it governed the country, said on Sunday that more American lives here would be lost.

McKenzie declined to comment on the Taliban statement. But he noted that U.S. troops in Afghanistan were hardly “defenseless.”

Democrats and the Democrat Party are purposefully fucking over the American people and America.

"Is a Dark Ages disease the new American plague threat? "

"A study just released from the Keck Medical Center at the University of Southern California looked at 187 leprosy patients treated at its clinic from 1973 to 2018 and found that most were Latino, originating from Mexico, where the disease is somewhat more common, and that there was on average a three-year delay in diagnosis, during which time the side effects of the disease — usually irreversible, even with treatment — began to occur"

"Illegal aliens spreading leprosy to homeless addicts in California? You can't spell social justice without anti-social diseases. At this rate, California won't be a sanctuary state. It'll be a state walled in by other states and its sunny beaches will be populated by zombies.

But it'll be fine because typhus-ridden zombies suffering from leprosy can't use straws. That's good for the environment. Right?"

This all makes sense. The girl needs money lots of money, because she she was shortchanged in the looks department. Her mother looks pretty good, so I can only assume inbreeding. Good god but Greta is ugly on the inside and outside.
