the taliban might very well end up being better on balance than the old government simply because they're a disciplined movement that has actual principles besides naked self-interest, but that's more an indictment of the gang of corrupt rapist scum that made up the puppet government than anything elseSchnorkles posted:is... dudes rock

Watch China Belt and Road a high speed rail line straight through in like 5 years and before Europe has managed to connect Paris and Berlin and the US has anything even resembling high speed rail and bridges collapsing become regular news stories.

I really wish the woke libs bellyaching about human rights abuses in Afghanistan would shut the gently caress up about it. Chauvinist Westerners with radically different ideas of rights no longer have any say in the matter. Maybe the Taliban will listen though if we ask them really nicely?!

I hear the term cages is subjective. Just like torture camp. That's another highly subjective term for the military facility in Guantanamo Bay which is still loving open. Not Bagram though, that torture camp is now closed.

Al-Saqr posted:I’m fairly certain ISIS starting killing everyone in sight right away, I remember them murdering masses of Iraqi’s and immediately laying down their rules ruthlessly almost immediately And the OG Taliban sacked Mazar-i-Sharif and pogromed the Hazara there. Riding up and down the streets on motorcycles with machine gun firing into crowds and homes and poo poo. They were absolutely the absolute opposite of chill when they took over places.

I read reading up on China's Belt and Road Initiative and came across this nugget:quote:In response the United States, Japan and Australia had formed a counter initiative, the Blue Dot Network in 2019. yes. blue dots. who comes up with these names? I mean, belts and roads are tangible things and distill complicated geopolitical goodwill/nation building ideas down into useful objects. blue dots are space herpes.

so the guy waiting to become the likely president was a Co founder of the OG Taliban who was captured by the CIA and released at the request of the United States a few years ago to "play a constructive role in peace negotiations", so is the fix in or what? wasn't the last guy a stooge?
