          The Ministry of Defense of Lithuania has decided to increase its military presence in Afghanistan, in April 50 troops will be deployed in Kandahar

          Now, for sure, the tyranny of the Taliban will sink into oblivion and something will fall there, and tyrants will sign unconditional surrender, due to the presence of this "special squad" in Afghanistan. Interestingly, that squad has some kind of "cool" name, well, like BlackLabusWateras?
