Current Affairs Afghanistan

[Yarrgh]

Nah. That pic with Afghans running behind the plane will be a meme for years to come.

And that's how it will be remembered. As a meme on par with a clip from the office.

All the (Western) governments have to do is ignore it and it will fade away.

it will fade away.

For the ignorant people and rednecks, yeah.

2k refugees to come to Burnley... i mean how has Burnley been chosen for 10%?? The council have been in touch with us today about employment for them already.

We are desperate for staff to be fair

For the ignorant people and rednecks, yeah.

For about 98% of the population. The media tells us what to care about. Once they stop reporting on Afghanistan, people will be passionate about the next thing for about 3 months until the next change. There’s a reason why no one ever talks about the conflicts in Africa, the treatment of certain minority groups in China, labor mistreatment all over the world, etc…Attention spans are short.

I will surely be reading a lot on Afghanistan in the future though, even if they stop reporting about the country or the Taliban.

You may, but surely you're the minority. Particularly in America, foreign issues simply aren't everyday topics of discussion or outrage. It just isn't. In a couple of months all this will pass, and we'll be on to the next topic to be outraged about.

And I fear that in a few months, that topic will be COVID as the unvaccinated cause further inconveniences to those of us who are vaccinated.

Yeah, I know that fact about Muricans. Sad stuff.

The 'all lives matter' lot are very quiet about these refugees ...... well either very quiet or complete hypocrites.

 

[Chris O'Connor]

Reports of the Taliban setting a woman on fire as not happy with her cooking. Families forced to marry young daughters off to Taliban fighters etc.

Meanwhile former Obama officials advise 'Taliban' Biden to sack his National Security advisor over his completely botched withdrawal operation. He's busy stumbling at interviews and questions while still believing all the promises and propoganda that the Taliban chiefs are feeding him.

Operation normal then for President Joe.

Things are starting to go bendy in Kabul.

There’s no way the US are going to get all of their citizens out in time.

The Talibans curtain of lies is starting to fall away and we are seeing them for what they truly are.

Meanwhile sleepy Joe is still keeping up with his story that it’s all going fine.

Things are about to get ugly

Strangely enough when I raised all of these groups, it was disparaged….

One of the things I was reading was that Trump had told the Taliban leaders, we know where you live, we know your villages, so let us leave properly or your house and village would be the first to ’disappear’ . Now the Taliban understand that sort of rhetoric and no one would have doubted that Trump would have done it. Biden is basically a coward and is showing it to the world. China is getting all its birthdays in one go…..

The meds will kick in soon and he’ll soon be napping in the Oval Office.

His administration seriously need to get a grip on the situation.

2 Para are actively going out of HKIA into Kabul and bringing back people including Afghans, whilst the US had told its people to make their own way to the airport!

Well that’s not going to work!

Also reports coming in that it’s all kicking off near Panshir valley, with reports of fighting with ANA/Northern alliance re-taking territory from Terry.
