Not only was airfield at Bagram built in 1950s by Soviet Union, but potus was one who wanted US out of Afghanistan.
“It was Trump's administration that signed the peace agreement with the Taliban that paved the way for the withdrawal of US troops from Afghanistan near the end of his first term.”
Bad things may well happen to US soldiers if potus follows through on this.

Good Morning #Canada
I bet you thought that I forgot about this unfinished series, but I was just waiting for a slow historical news day. Iqaluit is our newest provincial/territorial capital, as Nunavut was officially separated from the Northwest Territories to become the largest and northernmost territory of Canada on April 1, 1999. No fooling. Iqaluit, which means "place of many fish," has a long history as an Inuit hunting and fishing ground. In 1880 the British Government transfers the Arctic archipelago to the Canadian government which begins a century of colonization efforts to protect Canada's sovereignty in the area, with a bit of resource extraction that prompted settlements in Nunavut. Officially named "Frobisher Bay" In 1942 as a military airfield during WWII, the town reverted to its Inuit name in 1987.
