Esse é o núcleo da resistência afegã contra os Talibãs, baseados no Vale de Panjshir, a menos de 80 km da capital, #Kabul. O homem que aparece ao centro é Ahmad Massoud, o filho do lendário Ahmad Sha Massoud, morto pelos Talibãs em 2001. LINK

Well, at least the shittiness is spread around.

The Guardian

quote:

Guards at Kabul embassy told they are ineligible for UK protection


quote:

More than 100 guards at the British embassy in Kabul have been told they are not eligible for UK government protection because they were hired through an outsourced contractor, the Guardian has learned.

Most of the 125-strong team of security personnel, employed by the global security firm GardaWorld, have been given informal notice that they no longer have jobs guarding the embassy, several said.

The guards, some of whom had been working for the UK embassy for over a decade, described feeling abandoned by British officials and their employer. Many have been forced into hiding, fearing for their lives.




quote:

Meanwhile, more than 100 guards the same work for the US embassy, under a separate GardaWorld contract, have been evacuated and others were receiving support from the US embassy, according to a senior Afghan national GardaWorld employee in charge of human resources


ETA the next paragraph in the article.

Truth be told, that shite was likely kept under lock and key by the Afghan Army higher ups, the ones who cut the deals not to fight. Troops you see forming up in the North are those who fled because they were given little option. They were sold out by their commanders.

Yup, Biden fricked up, but those eurotrash countries just bashing the US like they could actually stand for themselves. Boris needs to sit the frick down and shite his mouth.

This means the UK is very close to closing up shop in Kabul and leaving the Americans to frick up the evacuation even more.

From a historical standpoint, that wouldn’t be that surprising. I’m constantly amazed at how embarrassingly poor of an understanding most posters have of history

Who is talking about history? Im talking right now, france has the reputation of being a pushover. Theyve kept their mouths shut and for all we know are getting the stuff/people out.

Im not talking about history.

So what I’m learning is stay the hell in America. If I go out of country and shite happens, tough cookies.

Glad I made it home from Rwanda in 2019 safely.

Message from the new, more inclusive Taliban to female students-

“Cover your faces, cover your eyes, come back to classes without fear, but if I see your nails polished or if I see your toes or if you wear lipstick, I'll chop you in pieces and throw you away.”

Take a poll and find out for yourself. We arent talking about their history, go start another thread and france's military history. Through my time in the corps and at home, the perception of france is that they are a bunch of pussies.
