All of this is from flight tracker. Surprisingly, US Cargo Planes and Tankers don't have their transponders turned off.

There are also multiple twitter posts about this.

Latest reports say the Taliban are now taking potshots at the aircraft.

That's a lie, the poor would be moving to Afghanistan with economic incentive, although most of America's poor happens to be black and brown.


I find your ideas intriguing, but can the documentary film made about this experiment be called Brokeblacks' Mountain?

Russia would soon strike Afghanistan like it's 1979.

Can you just stop with this ridiculously racist colonialism shit?

Acknowledging economic development for poor people, including poor people of color, is not racist.

Establishing an open market where poor people, including poor citizens of Afghanistan, can build wealth in Afghanistan is not colonialism.

It fucking is colonialism.

Why not just help these people in the US, instead of forcing this batshit crazy fuckery?

Pushing all the minorities out of America to occupy land in a country of 30 million people to exploit them for economic gain is abso-fucking-lutely racist and colonialist as fuck.

Bro, sending people into this country run by the Taliban is sending them to their deaths. I don’t think you realize that the idea you have is about as logical as Jefferson’s idea to send African-Americans back to Ghana and Nigeria.

How many African Americans do the Taliban kill compared to American police?

Russia and some of its Central Asian allies already held military exercises near the border with Afghanistan. But they will not get involved directly. The leadership of those Central Asian Republics just want stability in Afghanistan which includes Afghan crushing of any rebel groups that want to cross the border north.

Considering there are very few African-Americans in Afghanistan, not very many.

Conversely, the American police don't kill as many Afghani citizens as members of the Taliban.

There's plenty of reasons to fight the Taliban. But nobody was going to put up much of an honest fight for the government the USA installed in Afghanistan.

Neither do you forcefully send poor Americans to a different country to exploit the profits of Afghanistan.
This is classist, racist, imperialist, colonialistic, and absolutely disgusting.

This is bordering on lebensraum.

Wrong way around. A bunch of tankers just went dark just south of Afghanistan, and an AC-130 and a few tankers are still transmitting and moving towards Afghanistan. The only blood being spilt is going to be that of the Taliban.

Because if the number of them in the country jumped suddenly because of the US dumping exporting encouraging them to emigrate there, the number of them being killed by the Taliban would jump at an equivalent rate.
