U.S. Attacks Taliban Fighters, After Trump Says Taliban Wants to 'Cease the Violence'

President Trump said Tuesday he had “a good, long [phone] conversation” with the leader of the Taliban and that the group wants to “cease the violence.”

But on Wednesday, the United States conducted an airstrike against Taliban fighters in Nahr-e Saraj, Helmand, who were actively attacking a checkpoint manned by Afghan Defense Forces.

A U.S. military spokesman, Col. Sonny Leggett, called it a "defensive strike to disrupt the attack."

I Believe in the United States of America as a Government of the people, by the people, for the people; whose just powers are derived from the consent of the governed; a democracy in a republic; a sovereign nation of many sovereign states; a perfect union one and inseparable; established upon those principles of freedom, equality, justice and humanity for which American patriots sacrificed their lives and fortunes.  I therefore believe it is my duty to my country to love it; to support its Constitution; to obey its laws to respect its flag; and to defend it against all enemies.

The Talibanders tried to game the "truce", saying they would cease attacks against US troops, but not against Afghan troops. Evidently instructions to in-country US commanders regarding the truce didn't allow playing that game.

If, as anti-Covid-vaxxers claim, https://www.poynter.org/fact-checking/2021/robert-f-kennedy-jr-said-the-covid-19-vaccine-is-the-deadliest-vaccine-ever-made-thats-not-true/ , https://gospelnewsnetwork.org/2021/11/23/covid-shots-are-the-deadliest-vaccines-in-medical-history/ , The Vaccine is deadly, where in the US have Pfizer and Moderna hidden the millions of bodies of those who died of "vaccine injury"? Is reality a Big Pharma Shill?

Millions now living should have died. Anti-Covid-Vaxxer ghouls hardest hit.
