TRUTHDIG’S JOURNALISM REMAINS CLEARLos Angeles Times:
According to the website icasualties.org, which keeps track of U.S. and North Atlantic Treaty Organization troop deaths in Afghanistan, 245 international troops have been killed in the country this year, 153 of them American. Last year, 520 international troops were killed in Afghanistan; 316 were Americans.
Also on Monday, an American contractor was killed in a suicide bomb attack on a police training center in Kandahar, where U.S. troops are planning a major offensive this summer to uproot Taliban insurgents from their longtime stronghold.
The storytellers of chaos tried to manipulate the political and media narrative in 2025, but independent journalism exposed what they tried to hide.
When you read Truthdig, you see through the illusion.
