Republican (fascist/socialist) President Trump reneges on his campaign promise to end the 16-year long Afghan-American War: “In Afghanistan … We must stop the resurgence of safe havens that enable terrorists to threaten America, and we must prevent nuclear weapons and materials from coming into the hands of terrorists and being used against us. …”

       NOTE: The truth is Afghanistan produces 4,000,000,000 “dollars” worth of opium each year–90% of the world’s total output.  This source had been all but eradicated when the Taliban (Pashtun for “students of Islam) were in control.  Also, Afghanistan has proven reserves of 1,000,000,000,000 “dollars” worth of mineral resources.
