Hey amigos! 🌟 In a dramatic twist, President Donald Trump just threatened Afghanistan with “bad things” if they don’t hand back Bagram Airbase—the legendary hub that once fueled US military operations. 🇦🇫✈️
On Truth Social, Trump warned: “If Afghanistan doesn't give Bagram Airbase back to those that built it, the United States of America, BAD THINGS ARE GOING TO HAPPEN!!!” At a White House briefing, he doubled down: “We want it back, and we want it back soon, right away.” 💥
Afghan authorities weren’t backing down. Mullah Tajmir Jawad, First Deputy of the General Directorate of Intelligence, said the current arrangement will stand—and no foreign troops will be allowed. ❌
Defense Minister Mohammad Yaqoob Mujahid told reporters, “If you don't leave and want bases, we are ready to fight you for another 20 years.” Now that’s persistence! 💪
Zakir Jalaly, Political Director of the Afghan Ministry of Foreign Affairs, reminded the world that Afghan people have “never accepted foreign troops on their territory,” and any dialogue with Washington must exclude military reoccupation. 🤝
From fiery online posts to firm ground-level resistance, the showdown over Bagram Airbase is heating up. Will this epic standoff stay locked in place, or can diplomacy defuse the tension? Stay tuned for the next episode of this high-stakes saga! 🔍🌏
