Afghan Conflict: Russian Political Leader Meets With Massoud

[Washington Resistance Army]

Iran May be Preparing to Give Support to the Panjshir Resistance

Everyone in the world hates the Taliban it seems

Iran is a Shia theocracy and the Taliban are hardline Sunni's. I'd be more shocked if Iran didn't try to screw with them.

[Salandriagado]

Have you not one moral fiber?

Nothing bad is going to happen to them, I mean- come on. These are the Taliban's future subjects. If the Taliban is too harsh or impractical in their rule like ISIS was, they'll implode or get overthrown because over time everyone hates them. Taliban has a base of support because their platform is compatible with Afghanistan's culture and precedents in some way that the US supported regime just isn't.

Because that is exactly what happened the last time the Taliban ruled Afghanistan, right?

Where there is sharia, there is no woman, where there is women, there is no shariah governed by superstition ! Political Islam is doomed to lose before humanity and science.

So is political Christianity. Religion whether it be Christianity or Islam should not be weaponized.

Yes, I absolutely agree, the European Union saw this and it would not be wrong to say that they are in a better position than Asia at the moment. People always find something to fight for money races and religions are all project of the same ridiculous game.

You know it’s bad when even Iran doesn’t like you.

Also they’re already up to their eyeballs in heroin so I’m guessing the prospect of an even bigger deluge of Afghan poppies is not super compelling to them lol

Do the Taliban strike you as a group particularly concerned with the well-being of their subjects

I dream of a social democratic secular liberal big Afghanistan with a partalamnet system. I think of an afghanistan where no one kills each other, gays can marry, civil nationalism is common. Taking the European Union as an example, I think the target should be Asian unity.

They are like this because they don't want to. There is a proverb in Turkish.''su testisi su yolunda kırılır'' The meaning of the proverb is that if you serve a bad purpose, your situation will inevitably be bad. People who will settle in space will not be political Islamists, people with the idea of ​​the European Union will be space colonists.

You mean you can actually win if you fight back and don't just give up? Dang, if only we spent 20 years putting actual commanders in charge of the ANA who would have known this from the start lol.

I know a lot of people have made Vietnam comparisons but honestly this feels more like 2014 Iraq to me where practically everything above the squad level collapsed and fled which allowed massive ISIS gains until a new officer corps was established to lead the actually fairly decent lower levels and push back.

I mean yes, this was more Late Stage KMT 1949 than the end of South Vietnam.

1. this is a terrible idea, nobody in afghanistan wants this
2. eu bad. no, i shall not elaborate further

I've always thought the writers of Star Trek TNG cribbed that line from HHGTG. The Vogons says "resistance is useless".

*builds hyperspace bypass*

Do you have proper authorization for hyperspace clearance?

No point in acting surprised about this, Nana. They've been on file with the Galactic Hyperspace Planning Council at the base on Alpha Centauri for the past 50 years. Probably even longer now. There's been plenty of time to lodge a formal complaint and it’s far too late to start making a fuss about it now.

In a decentralized nation with competing tribes looking after their own kin, a centralized regime ruling from the capital, unaware of local issues and enforced by a foreign power is literally the worst thing to the various tribes and peoples of said nation. The US should have brushed up on the history of the short-lived Helvetic Republic (a centralized government imposed by the French on the Swiss cantons) before foolishly establishing a presidential republic in Afghanistan.

[Baltenstein]

i kid you not, isis is calling the taliban's victory part of a global conspiracy, declaring them takfir (again) and being puppets of the us

I like to think that the relationship between ISIS and the Taliban is like that of two particularly toxic online gamers.
Whenever one scores an achievement trophy, the other immediately goes on a public rage rant

I mean, the entire point that the American politicians thought of for Afghanistan was to export freemarketism, KFC and the American Way.

The Vietnam comparisons come mostly from us running away with our tail between our legs as the central government is overthrown while law and order collapse behind us.

Other than that, yeah, comparisons to 2014 Iraq are apt.

in fairness, a few other french "sister republics" went quite swimmingly. Er, for a moment, until the french got a little greedy.

True and all of it fueled by hubris.

Yeah, Afghanistan’s troops (especially the Commandos) were super pissed about their commanders forcing them to surrender.
