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

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.

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?
