President Trump has begin threatening Afghanistan to get them to 'return' the Bagram military base back to the USA, who, according to him 'built it'.

Another slight distortion of the truth as it was originally built by the Soviets but the US did turn it into a full-fledged military city.

We know the USA has a 'returns' consumer culture but this is stretching it a bit.

Anyhoo...you might think that Trump just wants another forward military base close to China but FNN thinks there is another reason:

A new Guantanamo-style prison to house illegal immigrants, except one that keeps these 'scum' even further from the USA. Bonus!

Lest we forget, Bagram was also the site of an infamous prison as Tolo News reminds us:

But Bagram was not just a military base; its infamous prison gained international notoriety. Hundreds of Afghans suspected of ties to the Islamic Emirate or al-Qaeda were detained and interrogated there.

Numerous reports of torture and harsh conditions turned Bagram into what many came to call “the Guantanamo of Afghanistan.”

Ahmad Khan Andar, a military analyst, remarked: “They built a prison within this base, where they brought Afghans labeled as supporters of al-Qaeda and the Taliban, and subjected them to brutal torture.”

Or maybe Trump wants to turn it into a theme park, like Gaza?
