Dozens of Afghan civilians are dead, local officials said Monday, following operations carried out late Sunday by U.S. and Afghan forces targeting al Qaida fighters. The incident in the southern province of Helmand, which came just days after a U.S. drone strike killed at least 30 farm workers in eastern Nangarhar province, highlights the fragile situation for civilians as the U.S. enters its 19th year of war in Afghanistan.While the country was distracted by fake whistleblowers and fake climate activism, the government was busy dropping real bombs on real people for reasons we've lost track of. It's either because they want to prevent the rise of radical Islam there, or because we like having a permanent military based conveniently situated between China and Iran. I'm starting to think they've just realized that it's hard to start new wars these days so they're milking what they have for all it's worth. Obama failed to rally support for his proposed war in Syria, and America responded by electing a guy who's something of a peacenick by the US Presidential of the last few decades.
We can seem the cause the lack of sensationalist media coverage. The wedding was most likely a ceremony between a man and a woman who will have many kids and live their lives in obedience to their traditional religion. Yawn. Had it been a gay wedding the story would be an international news sensation, likely dwarfing even the impeachment coverage. There would be anti-war protests in major US cities for the first time since the Bush era, and righteous proclamations from lefties of "we told you Trump would start executing gays." Unfortunately for the Afghanis now entering the 19th year of US occupation, the wedding was not a degenerate festival serving to undermine the traditional order of the place, but a celebration of the creation of a new family. The Satanic media couldn't care less. Bomb them all.
