Nick Soapdish posted:Seeing tweets saying that Dostum has fled to Uzbekistan so that's not a great sign for the "federal" government tbh Dostum is probably the guy Afghanistan needs now. Sure he'll be a dictator but at least he can lead strongly until he gets coup'd and the next guy comes along. I'm sad about the Hazara to the north who were really screwed under the Taliban in the 90s

Will be interesting to see China's relations with the Taliban as they share a border. If big Red cozies up with the Taliban how will it affect their handling of Xinjiang? Seems like the next big islamist target will be China and they'll eventually poke the wasp's nest in the next 20 years

Taliban isn't ISIS, maybe i'm sounding optimistic but you don't think 10 years of smartphones and access to tiktok/bollywood/k-dramas hasn't made an impact on your average talib?

facialimpediment posted:My internal thought is that the sadly inevitable doesn't become any less sad when it actually happens. Don’t forget as VP Biden was opposed to the surge. He went along with it because Obama wanted it. https://www.nytimes.com/2009/10/14/world/14biden.html not saying it’s not his problem. but he was a voice of dissent from way back Suicide Watch fucked around with this message at 19:13 on Aug 16, 2021 |
