most of them are former ANA members who are now eager to demonstrate that they were always loyal to taliban, and that actually they were only pretending to be loyal to Kabul.

Uyghurs situation in Xinjiang? Just a police action, do not fret. Not ongoing genocide like in EVIL Canada.

I am definitely not a tankie.

This is also why the ANA didn't really resist. Why would you shoot at guys who are for sure going to win? Because if anyone knows what a paper tiger the occupation government is, it's the ANA.

Even the US government was like "we expected they would least a year or two". Wow, I can't believe they ran with a vote of confidence like that. Please ruin your lives horribly some more so I don't have to feel as bad in my NoVa Mcmansion and without so many people being mean to me on Twitter.

"We need you to be a political crumple zone for us by dying honorably in a new pointless civil war" is up there with the all time best reasons to enter into a suicidal unwinnable war

invading Britain would actually improve the world because it would teach the English to shut the gently caress up and know their place, those loving chinless broken toothed freaks are the biggest enemies of democracy in the world

According to the select British journals found near cashiers at supermarkets Britain is soon going to be a mostly brown, Muslim country. It's only a matter of time before the US invasion.

Similar to Suez Canal loss of face, shows they are just a client state following the US lead.

Don't also have enough Troops or money pit to go off on their own military / "Nation building" adventures.

have a feeling he would legitimately consider that a victory worth pursuing if the opportunity arose. he should have been president when he's 95 to increase the senility power and be president during a referendum

Because as long as the US was doing the heavy lifting they got to pretend they were still a military power doing the whole invasion thing of yesteryear. And now they have to run for their lives.

new mic grift idea: invade a country and then leave behind a billion dollars of our own military hardware in a panicked retreat from local insurgents, wait approximately 8 months, and then start selling supply and maintenance contracts to the newly installed government to service the tanks and planes they inherited from our failed puppet state

A billion dollars is like 4000 Humvees.

“How was he ISIS? Look at this,” said Najib, a cousin of Mr. Ahmadi who would give only his first name for fear of retribution, angrily dismissing the U.S. military’s account of the attack. “They lied about us in the media.”


Neither Mr. Ahmadi nor any of his family members were connected to ISIS or any other terrorist group, they said, adding that many in the family had worked for the Afghan security forces.


The president of the charity group, Steven Kwon, said that Mr. Ahmadi was a compassionate man and “well respected by his colleagues,” adding: “Just yesterday, he prepared and delivered soy-based meals to hungry women and children at local refugee camps in Kabul.”


Family members provided documents showing his long employment with Nutrition and Education International, and the application of his nephew, Mr. Naser, for a Special Immigrant Visa, based on his service as a guard at the U.S. military’s Camp Lawton, in Herat.


“The grave danger that he and his family faced was directly linked to his commitment to American and NATO forces,” Timothy Williams, Mr. Naser’s American supervisor, wrote on Aug. 14 in support of the application. “To the best of my knowledge, Ahmad Naser does not pose any type of threat to the safety or security of the United States and its citizens.”


Family members also said there was no evidence of more powerful explosions within the small courtyard. Although the doors and windows of the house had been blown out, they said, it remained structurally intact. The mud and brick wall next to Mr. Ahmadi’s vehicle was still standing.
