Okay. These guys, who we haven't heard from in how long, are the schizzle. Things gonna be alright. We can send them Stingers to shoot down the aircraft we left the Taliban. Kinda like a complete ecology in a terrarium. Then, later, we'll find out they're just another bunch of grubby fanatics. Boys who are just now learning to walk can go fight them. |

Quoted: China supported the mujahideen in the 80s. This was one of the reasons the US was doing things like selling them Blackhawks and allowing US companies to assist them with defense projects. It's rather funny,if China hadn't been so knee jerk about Tiananmen and given the protestors just enough easily revocable concessions to go home they would quite likely have already overtaken the US in terms of military power. You were about to give them the ability to produce F404s and APG-66 radars and this was would have catapulted them ahead tremendously,especially by now.

View Quote There is no problem that Afghanistan could ever have posed the United States that could not be solved now, or in the past 20 years, by cruise missiles delivered from 600 miles away. Here is a list of interventions in that grubby shithole that have demonstrated the complete futility of engaging with those animals: -Alexander, 300 BC. At least he got a town named after him (Kandahar). -Britain, 1840's, culminating in Gandamak. -Britain, 1870's. -Britain, 1919, Third Afghan War. -Soviets, 1979. -And now, the US. I haven't the slightest interest in studying the latest bunch of tribal goons posturing with modern military equipment, as they go by. So, yeah, I've made a point of NOT hearing about your favorite bunch. |

Nice to see M4s in the good guys(well, better guys)hands:
Yeah, I know. It's the fucking Commie News Network, but at least a bit of good news: Fighting resumes around Afghanistan's Panjshir valley, a pocket of Taliban resistance "In the Khawak Pass area that connects to Panjshir, heavy fighting is going on," the commander said. "We didn’t have internet until just now. The resistance forces are in Puli Hisar and clashes continue. The Taliban have hundreds of casualties.” View Quote |

If we see resistance Twitter, FB, etc. accounts going down, it would be a safe assumption that the tech platforms have received instruction to take those accounts down. |

Ahmed Shah Massoud was a great man. I hope his son can fill his dads sandals. Bless those guys. |

Assuming the Taliban are backed by Pakistan and there, by proxy, China, this group has very slim hopes. Regardless, if they'll treat the weak people in their country with more dignity than the Taliban will, I hope they win.

Quoted: Your opinion gives the impression that you're so unaware of what you're commenting on that you've made the decision to be willfully ignorant. I sincerely hope that's not the case for your sake. View Quote Here's the bottom line: -For 20 years Americans invested blood and lives in that shithole. They gave those assholes every opportunity to better their lives, and the lives of their families. 20 years. Not only Americans, but western and eastern Europeans, Koreans, god knows who else. The incredible amount of money sent there, and the incredible amount of firepower I saw launched out of Bagram awed me. -I was over there for a while, non military. I saw it first hand. -In the end, the Afghans, no group of them, could get it done. No possible coalition of them could stop hating each other long enough to turn a place that had been a tribal shithole since Alexander into something better. -Another 20 years wouldn't have made a damn bit of difference that I could see. -Whatever mistakes that America, and the world, made there doesn't change the fact that the Afghans didn't step up. In my opinion, they are too corrupt, venal, and lazy. And it was pretty clear they weren't interested in changing in any real numbers. So, we're having a thread about a bunch that's supposed to be the real deal. The place has been an anarchic shithole for 2300 years or more, despite every intervention of the civilized world, so I'm calling bullshit. |
