I'm telling you again, folks. The only real change in AFG is created by media managed perceptions and the cries for help from people afraid of being punished for loyalty to Ghani. Others have always maintained their good relations with the turbans. Ghani's traitors will be top men this year. And the Taliban won't depopulate its hard won nation State. It will try and win hearts now, become the orderly junta it has been trained by the ISI to be. It will be life as usual in the shariah shithole, and the people know it too. Women are screwed of course, but they weren't exactly living it up in the Islamic Republic of Afghanistan, no matter what they tell you.

Any ensuing boo hoo hoo is classic media amplified bourgeois overreaction in the west, to what is to islamics just another takeover. These perceived outrages help in fueling 'good intentions' which then give justification for the military industrial complex to keep wading in.

Just say 'Fuck it!' and disassociate from this Wrong Turn in history.

#5 Since we are doing hollywood remakes, this is "Run Out of Town on a Rail."

This whole decade seems to be cursed.

Sheet Mohn, we're Americans, we're just getting started. Well, technically, Council of Cao Pi, but we can all point and laugh at President Rocky Road. Well, those of us who are allowed out of the house.
