Afghan pilots assassinated by Taliban as U.S. withdraws

Joe Biden's Afghanistan?
quote:
Afghan Air Force Major Dastagir Zamaray had grown so fearful of Taliban assassinations of off-duty forces in Kabul that he decided to sell his home to move to a safer pocket of Afghanistan's sprawling capital.
Instead of being greeted by a prospective buyer at his realtor's office earlier this year, the 41-year-old pilot was confronted by a gunman who walked inside and, without a word, fatally shot the real estate agent in the mouth.
Zamaray reached for his sidearm but the gunman shot him in the head. The father of seven collapsed dead on his 14-year-old son, who had tagged along. The boy was spared, but barely speaks anymore, his family says.
quote:
At least seven Afghan pilots, including Zamaray, have been assassinated off base in recent months, according to two senior Afghan government officials. This series of targeted killings, which haven't been previously reported, illustrate what U.S. and Afghan officials believe is a deliberate Taliban effort to destroy one of Afghanistan's most valuable military assets: its corps of U.S.- and NATO-trained military pilots.

Zero fricks given. We never should have occupied the place for two decades.
I don’t give a shite what happens there. Their society and culture don’t want to move past the Middle Ages

frick Afghanistan. This has been a disaster for just about every nation that's occupied it.
Biden's a joke but the US should have learned it's lesson from Russia.
These are people that are a good 1000 years behind the western world culturally. The only commodity they have is opium.
Keep them contained within their borders and if they want to kill themselves so be it.
If they want to play the terrorism game we have drones that can bitch slap them from time to time as needed

On this we agree. It sucks but it is not our responsibility to bring civilization to people that do not want it.
The world is large and bad things happen. There are enough bad things happening under Biden* to worry about.

This is the answer to Biden's how do you fight a modern army without F-15's , you just find out who the pilots are and get them when they are at the mall etc, not to hijack the thread but this is what a 21st century rebellion would look like.

Biden is probably botching this, but he's botching something that has to occur. And he's botching something that he didn't put in motion and has a lot of R and D fingerprints on it.
This is one situation where everyone, including most citizens, bear some collective blame. This quagmire persisted in our name, with the support of many of us and/or politicians we put in office.

Basically fighting Afghanistan is using million dollar missiles to blow up forty dollar tents. We need to get out and stay out.
By the way folks, remember when Trump wanted to end our involvement there and the left wing pitched a fit? I remember

It sucks and is going to be painful but we can't stay forever.

Rich in mineral resources, Afghanistan remains a landlocked tribal nation stuck in the Stone Age. Chyna may walk in and stomp the taliban down and take their minerals.

The Taliban HAD to be confronted. They were the ones who were allowing terrorist training camps to propagate in their country. Our occupation of Afghanistan and defeat of the Taliban is why there has not been another 9/11. Also, when we went into Afghanistan, it shocked Iran, Syria and Saudi. They got a clear message that we aren’t screwing around and weren’t going to sit back and do nothing while they attacked us through their terrorist dogs.
Our problem is exactly the same thing we did in Iraq. We shouldn’t have just “conquered” the countries… we should have taken them completely over, installed Americans as rulers, governors, mayors, police, etc…. Instead, we conquered the corrupt and then gave it back to the corrupt. All we did was “monitor”, “advise”, and “provide security” for the corrupt.

It’s going to be painful watching the press cover this gingerly because of the political persuasion of the current dementia patient in office.
The Afghan people that don’t want to be ruled by Bronze Age goat humpers with AKs are the ones in the most pain though.
What a trash religion.

Oh boy I can't believe I'm going to say this but......This was going to happen no matter who it was. Bush, Obama, Trump, Biden, or some other president no matter how long we stayed there. Trying to bestow a western style government on a tribal Islamic theocracy is the definition of a square peg in a round hole. This was always going to happen.

I know that's what the media would like you to believe, but I don't buy any of it anymore. As corrupt as all of our intelligence services are, I don't think we will ever know the truth about what is going on in the world.

This is probably going to happen. Although, it’s going to take them a while to use up all of Africa’s minerals.

Says it all. I don't like Biden but I won't blame a bit for pulling out of that place.

What I get from the story is I can't believe there's a real estate office.
