Taliban taking over Afghanistan

[Tgo01]

Because the ANA is a shell army. It is claimed there were 300,000 soldiers, but how many probably don't exist? And then you got the ones that just take their issued stuff and go home.

Add on to that the corruption from their local leaders that just keep the money that is meant to pay them and yeah, why the fuck would they want to fight the Taliban for people that don't even care about them in the first place?

People think of Afghanistan as one country, but it isn't. It is a bunch of countries. Each tribe is basically its own country. The Taliban is attractive because they see them as people kicking out invaders imposing these silly national laws on them.

Hell, there were people that thought we were the Soviet Union when I was there.

Yeah but I mean how did the Taliban do it all then? Why couldn't the Afghan government do what the Taliban did? Or are the local tribes just more sympathetic to the Taliban so they just let them do whatever they want?

The Taliban is a religious movement more than an actual Government. They are extremely popular when fighting external threats such as us. They'll eventually peter out and get their own insurgencies against them, like they had before 2001.

We'll actually probably start supporting the Taliban with the next couple years, as they are also fighting ISIS.

Meanwhile, the Taliban say they're collecting civilians' personal weapons because they'll no longer need them.

Gee, where else have I been hearing that from lately?

Funny how the very first thing a tyrannical terrorist group does after they take over is to take everyone's weapons away and tell them it's because they no longer need them because they'll keep everyone safe.

Back where you belong mongoloid.

No thanks. I'd rather just call out your hilarious retardation whenever and wherever I please. Please stay triggered as shit about it, though -- I'm sorry, Big Mad about it.

[Methais]

No thanks. I'd rather just showcase my stupidity and point out how I have no clue that there's a decent likelihood that Biden will either be dead or 25th'd from office to make room for President Kamala by the time the 2024 election rolls around. I stay triggered as shit when you throw me back in my cage and laugh at me, though. Please let me stay out of my cage just for now -- I'm sorry, I just stay Big Mad about everything.

It'll be ok, Ashlianus. The rest of the PC, including your fellow democrats, already know that you're too stupid understand anything.

[Gelston]

Oh great, another Methais/Ashliana circle jerk.

Nonsensical reply acknowledged. Kudos on the simple mistake while simultaneously trying to insult someone else's intelligence, though.

Oh great, another Methais/Ashliana circle jerk.

Nah, he's going back into his cage now where he belongs. Cancer must be contained quickly before it spreads.

He'll kick and scream the whole time, and you'll probably see him talking to himself for a while. Those things tend to happen with the mentally ill.

Let's get you back where you belong, even though everyone over there also knows that Biden will probably dead or removed from office by 2024.


Come on now, loser, it's time for you to return to your cage.

However you need to soothe your bruised ego with mental gymnastics regarding your surrender in this thread is your business.

You said something profoundly retarded, and got appropriately criticized for it. That's going to happen each time you say something retarded in a thread, regardless of which thread it's in, and regardless of how Big Mad you get about it.

How long Biden lives or is president has nothing to do with the profoundly retarded response you gave to Vishra. And I'm happy to call you out as a deluded imbecile in each and every thread, so we have that to look forward to.

Remember the good old days, just ohh.. a year ago.. when peace deals were being made and signed in the Middle East, when Afghanistan had not had any major engagements for over 18+ months, when we were energy independent and not asking OPEC for increased production... I do...

And if you don't think that last thing ties in...

People going to be begging for that Keystone Pipeline LOL. I mean sure.. why make a pipeline with a friendly neighbor on the same side of the world... when you can cancel that pipeline, and get oil from people that hate us on the other side of it.
