The Biden administration is expected to increasingly rely on drone surveillance and strikes for counterterrorism operations in Afghanistan following Monday’s U.S. exit from the country after 20 years of war.
President Biden this past week gave his top military commanders the authority to carry out several strikes on Islamic State affiliate targets in the country, a response to a suicide bombing near the airport Thursday that killed 13 U.S. service members and dozens of Afghans.
The drone attacks – including a Friday strike in Jalalabad near the Pakistan border that killed two militants, and a Sunday strike in Kabul that destroyed an ISIS-K car bomb – appeared calibrated to send a message to militant groups that though U.S. forces were leaving the country, military operations are likely to persist.
More use of VERY VERY expensive weapons to cover for ASSHOLE Biden’s total incompetence!
No kidding. One Hellfire guided missile is $150,000, not including the operating costs of transport, maintenance and the delivery vehicle to the target, which far exceed the price of the missile itself.
Biden Likely to be IMPEACHED !!!! SOLVED
