Other than being a bunch of religious fanatics with principles centuries out kilter with the majority of the world they appear a swell bunch of guys. What are YOUR views on the Taliban?

What gives you the right to impose your views - not that sheep like you have any of your own - and declare that some people and principles are "out of kilter"? What does "the majority of the world" stand for? Our values aye? Do you believe what the various incumbents of the offices of the POTUS and the PM tell you? Bit in bold - I'm me and I'll say what I damn well like and like what I damn well say ? Do I believe them, do I fuck. They are politicians after all. Link to comment

What is China's motivation for invading Afghanistan? China has a history of targeting Muslims. Link to comment

Otherwise seems a strange move for a group purporting to be deeply religious It was Kandahar jail and they are about to do the same in Kabul which holds the former Guantanamo bay 9/11 terrorists. most of the prisoners would have been sympathetic towards the taliban, some would have been the taliban and the rest being held would have been forced to join.

I can't understand why you present yourself as a fool. By opening your mouth and saying whatever the fuck you like, you reveal too much. What I don't understand is how someone who can be so quick to chastise and offer opinions about others can be so utterly ignorant about themselves ? Link to comment

And here we go back to your same old routine, ignoring the point, lashing out and making sweeping judgements about others about things that really shouldn't get you angry but for some inexplicable reason does - and that's what makes it funny!

Agreed, Regarding China. they would be pretty daft to get involved with the Afghan war simply because they have never been a target for these groups and they hurt the west. So win win the reason they are going softly softly on international TV is because they are trying to legitimatise a government and want it internationally recognised, that’s why they are trying to rebrand as the Islamic state of Afghanistan.Taliban has always seen there selves as the religious leaders and governance but not terrorists, hardline religious yes, it’s the cunts like al nusra and al qaida that are salafist Muslims(take the Koran literally) they are the ones that really despise western democracy and well everything about us.

Poodler Posted August 15, 2021 Share Posted August 15, 2021 R_S also touched on a point on page 1, about their way of life, although difficult for us to comprehend, is it what the general population of Afghan want? not a bullet fired, the Taliban saying anyone who doesn’t want to be hear will be allowed to leave safely (unsure if that will extend to yanks). In the grand scheme of things, is it the most peaceful take over ever? Almost as if it was wanted/ expected/ inevitable ? Link to comment

Oregon Red Posted August 16, 2021 Share Posted August 16, 2021 The fact is the Americans/UK and NATO have been lying about what great training we were giving the Afghan Army for years now. Been reading a few articles and it was all a show and a few contractors and politicians ( Afghanis) were syphoning off much of the $100s of billions. The Afghan army was just a bunch of boys who couldn't read or write from the sticks ( were the Taliban came from). Most never got paid. THeir Afghan officers were put in place through nepotism..and the ability to steal the wages that were meant to go to the soldiers. The Americans at first had reports etc but as thin gs failed to improve these reports were classified. So who can blame them at thee first sign of the Taliban they said "fuck this" and buggered off?

manboobs109 Posted August 16, 2021 Share Posted August 16, 2021 I wonder if a lot of the Afghan army were isolating and that's how they are so shit? Maybe a few of them got the long covid. Link to comment
manboobs109 Posted August 16, 2021 Share Posted August 16, 2021 Just putting it out there. Maybe there was an outbreak at the barracks and all the good ones are isolating. They might get out in ten days and kick the Talibans cunts in. Link to comment

"The biggest lies will be hidden by public incredulity". Don't think I have read on here anyone who categorically believes everything that the Govt says and we all know how corrupt leaders can be - be them politicians or business leaders. Private eye has a new book coming out covering the last 6 decades and the biggest exposes they were responsible for during each. Just proves nothing has changed, politicians and leaders are as corrupt now as they were 60 years ago. Link to comment

Parklife Posted August 16, 2021 Share Posted August 16, 2021 Absolute chaos at Kabul airport right now, by the looks of it. Reports the US troops have shot 5 civilians dead. They're also using an Apache helicopter to try and clear the runway and allow planes to take off, so I'd expect many more dead civilians. Link to comment
manboobs109 Posted August 16, 2021 Share Posted August 16, 2021 Why do we get involved in everything? If I was PM I'd disband the army/navy/RAF, build a shit hot load of missiles/drones and make clear we'll fuck up any invaders but keep out of everything else. No matter our intentions we only ever make things worse. Edit - we'd also stop building/selling weapons abroad. Link to comment
