they don't know all alien abduction experiences can be explained by people thinking saving private ryan was a documentary

So if the ceasefire holds it's like Saigon and if not it's like Mogadishu

"Following the departure of Mr. Ashraf Ghani and the responsible officials from the country, in order to prevent chaos and reduce the suffering of the people and to better manage the affairs related to peace and peaceful transfer of the Coordinating Council consisting of the esteemed Dr. Abdullah Abdullah, Chairman of the Supreme Council National Reconciliation, Jihadi leader Gulbuddin Hekmatyar, the Emir of Hezb-e-Islami Afghanistan and former President Hamid Karzai were formed. The council calls on the government security forces and the security forces of the Islamic Tehreek-e-Taliban (TTP) to resolutely curb the chaos and incitement of irresponsible and unrelated individuals while maintaining restraint."


Ghani flees into exile and Karzai is sitting on the Supreme Council of National Reconciliation.

He's outmaneuvered Ghani one last time. What a pro.

Nothing says "peace and peaceful transfer" like a council headlined by Gulbuddin f'ing Hekmatyar.

i mean if you deliberately ignore that china has no intention of invading and occupying and has explicitly said their intentions of investing with money while working alongside the taliban sure

Why invade when you can just offer them free railroads and conquer them through economic controls?

I think that American presidents, that position in itself, as well as American foreign policy, it has terrorism in it. CIA agents going to overthrow certain governments - they're using terrorist tactics. They're not going in there like, 'Hey, you wanna have some cake?'

A scrimmage in a Border Station-

A canter down some dark defile

Two thousand pounds of education

Drops to a ten-rupee jezail.

The Crammer's boast, the Squadron's pride,


Shot like a rabbit in a ride!



No proposition Euclid wrote

No formulae the text-books know,

Will turn the bullet from your coat,

Or ward the tulwar's downward blow.

Strike hard who cares - shoot straight who can


The odds are on the cheaper man.



One sword-knot stolen from the camp

Will pay for all the school expenses

Of any Kurrum Valley scamp

Who knows no word of moods and tenses,

But, being blessed with perfect sight,


Picks off our messmates left and right.
