The Conflict in Afghanistan

[Kepler-186]

Tell me President tell me if you will
How many people does a smart bomb kill?
How many of 'em do you think we got?
The General says, we never miss a shot

And we never ever ever keep a body count
We killin' so efficiently we can't keep count
In the Afghan hills the rebels still fightin'
Opium fields keep providin'

The best heroin that money can buy’in
And nobody knows where Osama Bin hidin'
The press conferences keep on lyin'
Like we don't know.

Yes I agree. Nobody is going to try to take on the Talaban now so they can take that country back to the Middle Ages whilst the west looks on helplessly. Millions of women condemned to a shit life. Unbelievable it is happening our lifetimes. 

I'd worry a little bit closer to home before worrying about a country that has gone through centuries living a way the West condemns but they seem ok with themselves.  The West could always stop making deals with said drug lords and stop supplying the Taliban with the opportunities to make money from it too.

20 years later and heading back to square one.

When you say ‘they’ do you include the women shot for going to school or the boys raped as they are pretty?

You say this as though you know how the majority of the Afghan population feel,I don't yet as pointed out they have lived this way for hundreds of years and rejected any outside interference from both the West and The East.

I don’t think it’s a leap of faith to assume women don’t want to be shot for going to school or the kids being fucked think ‘oh well, it’s our culture’. 
 

Fucking unbelievable.  
 

Whether to intervene is a different matter, but to deny this is just fucking wrong is…entirely predictable.  
 

And if the majority of the Afghans accepted it why do the Taliban need guns?

It's the girls and the women I feel worst for. We've let them down so badly. How will they ever forgive us.

It’s ok, they aren’t allowed to speak so we’ll never know they don’t like being shot.  I mean, how else could we know?  
 

There are about 20m Afghan women.

Lad who works at gym has one leg and a metal one. Only say hello to him like, turns out he was in an explosion over there. 3 died he was the only survivor. Got to be some traumatic shit even if losing a leg wasn't enough

They tend to need guns because their country keeps getting invaded by countries who want to build pipelines and control the opium production,sorry,I mean save the Afghan women and kids by building MacDonalds and Retail Parks.

And we have an apologist for the Taliban! Boom, never thought we’d see it but I’d have had a fiver it’d

be you.  
 

Here’s what happens when women are allowed to (checks notes) do what they want. Better tell her she’s a victim of western imperialism and would be better off in a village.  

 

Nadia Nadim. She was born in Afghanistan. Her father was murdered by the Taliban when she was 11 years old and her family fled to Denmark on the back of a truck. 

Nadia has scored almost 200 goals in professional football and represented the Danish national team 98 times. 

She's completed medical school and is studying to become a reconstructive surgeon when her playing days are over. 

She speaks 11 languages fluently and is on the Forbes list of Most Powerful Women in International Sports. 

If you want to show your daughter a role model, show her Nadia Nadim....

I for one am staggered that someone who takes his forum handle from a guy who killed milllions of people has a warped view of politics.

It’s pretty racist really.  Noble savage type stuff. ‘I want my kids to have every opportunity, but those over there?  Let them have their little traditions’

As spectacular as any spectacularly bad take you’d ever see, glorious stuff.

I am not defending the Taliban or any other cunts and you know that ,but the fact that Afghanistan keeps getting invaded and nothing changes. 200 years of war and invasions and yet its still the same. Maybe this is because the people invading actually don't give a fuck about the girls and kids given they do business with other horrible cunts the world over.

Haha. That's rich from somebody who defends Israel's slaughter of Arab women and children on a regular basis.

[Strontium]

That suggestion that we worry a little bit closer to home didn't last long, huh.

I know it the AFGHANISTAN thread you fucking pumped up balloon. You gleefully jumped into it showing buckloads of false empathy for Afgani children so im pointing out your lack of any form.of concern for other murdered children proves you to to be nothing more than a grade A fucking hypocrite. 

[Strontium]

We're getting this predictable, tiresome, false shit in every thread now.

 

"Eggs were well cooked, beans just right, hash browns so-so, 7/10"

"Yeah, but what about the Palestinians right to a cooked breakfast you baby-killing twat"

[TheHowieLama]

The only thing predictable about any of your involvement is, well your involvement.

 

We can pray for these girls together now - except you - cuz well  - you have already made your peace about that shit.

The Taliban are utter cunts.

 

The British, the Soviets, the Americans and every other cunt who has invaded Afghanistan are also cunts.

 

The IDF are cunts, too, but they're not relevant to this thread.

 

I'm surprised any of this needs saying.
