Casualties had been pretty low for awhile now. Lot of which is down to taliban openly negotiating with every country.
They were under protection of the Taliban and trained parts of the Taliban Army.
? What's the point of replying with a Twitter video that could mean many different things without any actual context to anything.
What are the official figures of deaths? They've taken most major cities in recent weeks with very few casualties, for a major overthrowing of a government backed by a military. Look at Isis in Syria, the Rohingya, various civil wars in Africa.. yes comparatively it's been very peaceful.
Of course innocents dying is bad, that goes without saying, but you know the point I was making.
True. But they want to live according to the laws of a religion from the 700s. I'm sure if we tried to impose modern western society on Europeans a thousand years ago it wouldn't be taken too very kindly. Sad as it is but I'm not sure you can force that change on a population, if anything what we've seen over the last 20 years it just strengthens the resilliance against it.
At the least the disruption to the lives of most ordinary people has been low, which can't be said the same for most recent conflicts around the world. There's a silver lining to that.
This must seem like a devastating question if you give it less than 2 seconds' thought. I mean, honestly.
Well yes I imagine Jeff Bezos and Elon Musk must be on the phone to Biden right now berating him over the lost opportunities for Amazon and Tesla in Afghanistan...
I do, but I reject it because you’re discounting the lives paid before the timeframe you stated. This casual dismissal of that cost of lives is objectionable because you’re trying to frame it as though they just recently started trying to take over the country which is simply not the case.
Try and think for at least another minute before replying. That’s not the point. You know this
Many percents of the 1% have money invested in war. Those same people can get ahead of the market on a withdrawal they know will happen.
If you don’t get that, it’s a happy ignore.
It comes down to the question of what harbouring actually means. 9/11 could have been planned in a basement in Anytown, USA.
Sad for the women of Afghanistan...desperately sad. But the US and the corrupt cnuts they put in charge should have known what was at stake. There needs to be hearings about how the US spent 2trn training a military that fell to a bunch of ragtags in 10 days.
America keeps finding new ways to make itself look weak.
I reject the simplistic notion that these wars have been caused by "the 1%" - whatever that means - looking for a quick buck. Yes, certain companies benefit from war. Doesn't mean they are pulling the strings of who gets invaded and when withdrawals occur. It's just the old "America invaded Iraq to secure the oil" argument in modern clothes (which you don't hear anymore and was never true anyway).
Can't make this shit up.
Sure, this is a disaster politically for Biden but to me, it looks like this day was always going to happen. It just depended on which leader was willing to stomach it.
Seriously. Questions need to be asked. Don't let the US government including previous administrations off easily.
From what I hear the Afghan goverment army had 300.000 tropps and were well equipped and had aircraft vs 75.000 Taliban. Of course that equipment is now in the hands of the Taliban.

That 300.000 figure is definitely fake.
What's the real figure?
that’s not how defense contracts work, nick.
Grow up Nick
They…….. don’t care about women. Or Afghanistan
Hope it's not too late to get them out safely
The Afghan men don't seem to care about the women either.
Our government knows about this. You know that, right?
The Taliban don’t. The country itself treated my girl as a goddess and me as a regular dude.
Watching the reporting on Sky News, seeing the quotes from Biden and Johnson, the Taliban have caught everyone off guard
What a mess.
Was just reading a bbc article last night where it said US intel expects Kabul to fall within 60 days. 60!
What the actual feck
Remnants of an Army (1879) depicting the sole survivor of the British retreat during the first Anglo-Afghan War in 1842:
It was painted during the Second Anglo-Afghan War, which actually went a lot better for the British.

Apparently that isn’t Kabul.
No no. It's antifa in a false flag operation.
Tbf, all that you mentioned in the boldened didn't stop the Saudis having those rules in place for as long as I've known it. I distinctly remember going there in 2005 and having the feeling that all the rules and regulations placed upon women in particular were no different to the rules and regulations that the West were decrying the Taliban for.
The only difference was, that one was sitting in the Americans' good books, and the other, didn't.
