Hey guys.
Been hearing in the news the Taliban is rapidly taking over Afghanistan again.

Not good at all..

My thoughts are with any kennel buddies who may have family in Afghanistan affected by this development.

Coinciding with Creepy Joe pulling troops out? Genuine question as I haven't been following the story.

Technically it was Trump's policy to remove troops. Biden just followed the policy.

Not that I'm complaining. America need to stop pretending that they can police the world.

It was always going to happen. Taliban technically never went away. They moved to Syria and the surrounding areas to regroup and wait. It was only a matter of time until the US would pull out and they would move back in.

And if not them, then another warlord would move in. The US and allied forces did what they could to estate a proper government but without a force to defend it, it's just going to go back to how it was before.

Pakistan taking over. Taliban us strengthened and supported by Pakistan and will be a proxy government.

And all that money spent trying to exterminate them. The US lost that battle just like the USSR before them.

They just crossed the border to Pakistan. Never went near Syria

Rod only posted that for me. It's an ongoing thing where he thinks that Bill Gates created Covid-19 to sell vaccines and I don't think that because I'm not an idiot.

Well... I am an idiot. But that's beside the point.

no this is about bill gates thinking he is the decider of the world, talking about how he can use his vaccines to reduce world population, who the fuck does this guy think he is to decide how many people should be in the world and how many kids people should have

he is the big time hypocrite, talking about corporations should be paying more tax, people should pay more tax when his company and he personally avoided paying taxes for so long, his entire charity is one huge tax avoidance scheme

then talking about people should think about the footprint they are leaving when he has a huge property portfolio and a collection of private jets

this guy is the personification of a hypocrite money power hungry **** who acts left wing and dictates to others how they should live, also he could be a pedophile visiting the epstein island a few times

At the end of the day, you can't park troops / occupy by proxy another sovereign country forever. You need an exit plan (which hopefully is more than "well, it's been nice but smell ya later"...)

Any terrorist/resistance group (whats that old saying? One man's terrorist is another man's freedom fighter) is severely stuffed through lack of funds. No funds mean no weapons, no paying for training bases, no food for troops, harder to spread propaganda etc. Keep destroying those poppy fields, monitoring/controlling money transfers etc. Keep up intelligence efforts...

There no simple or perfect solution unfortunately for these shitholes.
