Taliban offensive of 2021 and collapse of Afghan government.

When 9/11 happened, they were fucking dumb enough to not just turn over Bin Laden directly and incurred the wrath of the most powerful military on Earth, followed by 20 years of their incompetent nation building.

When Uncle Sam demanded they abandon honor and allow a guest to be dragged put of their home, they chose instead to fight, and they won.

That may be "fucking dumb," but it's also heroic.

Those two on the right look quite white. PMC or glowniggers?

This is pure speculation, but:

None of the big, western looking dudes are obviously armed (the two on the right, or the one in the truck). Only the native looking dude in the truck is armed. They look like they're only interested in trying to bring specific dudes into the wire, while the armed guy is keeping the crowd back.

I'd guess these are gov fags, working under Taliban security, to extract known foreigners. Just speculation.

Edit: I watched it again, and I think I'm probably wrong.

I think we might be talking past each other here.

I'm referring to the situation now, what with the media blitz about re education and the situation of the Jan 6 political prisoners. You seem to be referring to some hypothetical civil war or future breakdown of state authority.

The incentives and threats I mentioned are already in use, and will be further used in the years ahead. Whether that leads to some sort of parallel society forming and eventual civil conflict, I don't know, what I do know is right wing (let's be honest White) Americans have a lot to lose, and that gives the System leverage over them.

I understand what you're saying, I have just personally realized that for as much yelling and bitching there is about the government, they really don't control anything beyond large policy. Hell even at a state level, most people don't actually listen. The entire theory of the US requires that we accept the government's control, it's the only way it works. The second you stop paying attention they're already at a loss because they can't actually make you listen, think, or do anything. That's why it's always shame they try.

They know they can't actually make you.

Nah they can do much worse, like make you wish you were dead

lmao they're fucked if that's their plan, I already do.

Panjshir valley still holds. Shia militias have thrown in against the taliban. Tajikistan and Uzbeks are rearming ANA that fled over the border and several border crossings in the north have been overran by the anti-taliban forces.

Oh and the Panjshir forces are moving to secure Bagram. Taliban have taken territory and are now finding out that keeping control is going to be much much harder than they thought. Anti-taliban resistance in the cities is growing and the ISI can’t help the Taliban out when it comes to rooting out resistance lmao.

I agree when it comes to large countries with relatively low population densities like Russia, Canada and the US. If you don't have the need to avail of any government services and don't perpetrate violence against anyone else, the reality is you can move to the middle of nowhere and there is little they will do to you. Tracking and controlling people in the countryside would require far more manpower than it is worth. However, in densely populated countries such as many of the ones in Europe and Asia, I don't think people enjoy the same luxury.

I haven't seen anyone mention Canada in this thread, which makes sense. At first glance, it seems Canadian troops have been out of Afghanistan since the NATO mission ended in 2014. This is also primarily a US war that Canada was dragged into by alliances.

They still had a sizable involvement in the Afghan war, with over 40 000 troops deployed between 2001 and 2014. For context as to how big this number is for Canada, the Canadian military today only has 23 000 active personnel and 19 000 reserve troops. (Source) The US military has about 10 times that, and a shit ton more weapons.

I still think they're pertinent to mention, however, since Canada has actually deployed troops close to Afghanistan. It's interesting to compare Canada's approach to the Middle East versus the US. Canada is taking a more "passive" approach (officially, at least), attempting "capacity building".

Operation IMPACT is part of Canada’s whole-of-government approach to the Middle East. The Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) mission to build the military capabilities of Iraq, Jordan and Lebanon, and set the conditions for their long-term success.

Lol at the typos in this official government statement. (Source)

I assume this deployment knew about what was happening in Afghanistan, but couldn't/wouldn't do anything about it.

The reason I mention this specifically is that this deployment is still active today, with 850 troops deployed.


Canada seems to be pussying out though. If they do stay in the Middle East, it'll either be in limited capacity or only to aid evacuation from Afghanistan.

“Right now our expectation and demand of the Taliban is that they permit, first of all, an end of violence and hostilities and restore order for those who want to leave Afghanistan,” said Trudeau, Liberal Party leader, on Monday.

“We need to see the Taliban step up and permit the evacuation of those who want to leave.”

TL;DR: "Taliban stop please" -Canada, 2001-present.

Trump was big mad in his Hannity interview. Just listening to his stream of consciousness invective at this cluster fuck was mildly cathartic. Say what you will about the man, but somehow I don't think he would have left 15,000 US citizens stranded in a hostile country.

But no more mean tweets. That's what is important here.

I feel a lot of Biden voters knew they were making a bad choice even in the voting booth, I don't think they expected it to be THIS bad, though.

The thing I don't understand is that there is no speak of casualties. Maybe it's because of ISIS setting the standard of public executions but you'd think there would be a stream of news about journos, trannies and NGOs getting the rope.

Pretty sure that's all they where talking about at the start there was an endless stream of articles about how the poor glowies and journos where trapped in there with no hope but for the most part it seems the Taliban was more focused on securing key infrastructure than executing non-military personnel.
I imagine most of the journos and glowies had already evacuated by the time the Taliban turned their eyes at the airport

What's the over/under that Treudau goes over to Afghanastan in a regional outfit and gets on his hands and knees to kiss the feet of the new leaders. 100-1 odds he wear a burqa like a bitch.
