isis in general is a meme at this point
the main organisation is in shambles, all those "IS khorasan" type spllinters aren't really parts of it, they're just older jihadi groups who put on the ISIS name and aesthetics when ISIS was big because they figured it'd boost their reputation. like, boko haram in nigeria at one point declared themselves "ISIS west africa division" or something like that despite having nothing to do with any of the actual ISIS guys in syria and iraq.

hell, even abu sayyaf in the fucking philippines adopted the ISIS flag and name lol

There is no group called "ISIS". "ISIS" is just an idea. Really it just means that you're one of the good guys. Anybody who supports the Islamist State is "ISIS". I am "ISIS", and everyone should strive to be "ISIS" in their daily lives.

Out of curiosity what is the Taliban's stance on female circumcision? Out of call the kvetching from NGOs female circumcision is pretty gross (as is male circumcision but jews and muzzies seem dead set to die on that hill)

Since they're fundamentalist Muslims I imagine its "nope". It's not Islamic, its cultural. It's a thing among Muslims in Africa and only certain countries in the ME (Jordan although there may be one other I can't recall rn). There's a weird sect of Shites from Pakistan who do it and got run out and settled around Detroit, where they had the spotlight on them for it in the US. Yemenis, Sunni and Shite don't do it. Persians don't do it either from what I know.

Christians do it as well. Its not a religious practice.

If they weren't slicing up ladies privates before Islam I doubt they do so now.

ISIS/ISIL/IS/Daesh absolutely is a distinct organisation. formerly an unrecognized state, currently a guerilla/insurgent group active in syria and iraq

So between that and the admission that it is “very unlikely” we will finish evacuating Americans by the 31st this is a tacit admission we will be leaving hostages behind.

It's so easy, the algorithm will no longer provide any traction for info on them, independent Western reporters won't get in ('because it's a warzone'), and the State Department will deny those Americans ever existed. MSM will parrot the 80K PEOPLE EVACUATED BY JOE without going into the details, and normies will swallow it down.

it is, however many Americans think that glow-ops to shape public opinion is something only Russians do, so it's a good generic argument to shut people up who see conspiracy theoriests everywhere.

at this point few companies in US consolidated control over how "news" are presented. The alternatives can and will be available from other sources (as always) but sheep never looks there.

@Gehenna would disagree with you, going by what he's posting in the Joe Biden News Megathread.

That's a good point, I sometimes forget that not everyone already knows this shit. There are a lot of cynical assholes who repeat propaganda while knowing it isnt true, but I guess some people actually buy into it. You can tell how many people are just cynical though by how few people were surprised by the UFO stuff.

Vietnam could've really been the unexpected dark horse of the US against China, if their diplomacy actually cared enough to consistently help them as repayment for the war after almost half a century now...but all this latest shit must've shown them is that they were right to keep things cool. heck, Kissinger was in power while they were still at war and his quote about American allies still holds true, more than ever.

Crossposting from the Joe Biden News Megathread.

In today's press conference, Psaki claimed that we've evacuated over 80,000 people from Afghanistan. However according to State Dept. cable leaks, as of the 23rd we'd only flown out over 26,000 people.

So in order for this claim to be true, we will have needed to fly out over 50,000 people in the last 48 hours.

Has anyone been keeping a check on flight tracker sites to see what's flying in and out of Kabul, and see if there's any possible validity to these numbers? Because I have big doubts.

LIVE: View of Kabul airport as Taliban bans Afghans from leaving the country

Ruptly is live with a view of Kabul airport on Wednesday, August 24, following the announcement by the Taliban that no more Afghan nationals will be allowed ...

Regardless those numbers are insane. 50K more people in two days would be over 83 C-17 stuffed with 600 people each.

and there's confirmed media reports that afghans + other nationals, who had seats reserved to lift off on those (theoretical) planes could not make it past the Taliban on their way to the airport, so a fair number of those C-17s are flying out mostly empty, rather comically.

with those kinds of stories becoming very numerous from folks on the ground there...yea, no fucking way. they tried to 'white lie' their way out and the math does not even remotely add up combined with everything else we've been hearing, even as of very recently, from anyone that isn't the goddamn liars at the WH.

Here's the current situation at Kabul according to FlightAware - zero arrivals or departures.

Flightradar24 however shows that there are some KC-135's in country (probably for aerial refueling), and that it looks like a USAF and RAF C-17, respectively, are en route.
