Here's a thought. How bout you bomb the ever living shite out of any weapons stockpiles once you're done evacuating.

I'm glad these guys are in charge of our protection, selling us fuel, has almost billion in funds, and a stock pile of US weapons. What could go wrong?

quote:

Taliban fighters massacred nine ethnic Hazara men after taking control of Afghanistan’s Ghazni province last month, Amnesty International said today.

On-the-ground researchers spoke to eyewitnesses who gave harrowing accounts of the killings, which took place between 4-6 July in the village of Mundarakht, Malistan district. Six of the men were shot and three were tortured to death, including one man who was strangled with his own scarf and had his arm muscles sliced off.

The brutal killings likely represent a tiny fraction of the total death toll inflicted by the Taliban to date, as the group have cut mobile phone service in many of the areas they have recently captured, controlling which photographs and videos are then shared from these regions.



quote:

Torture and murder in the context of an armed conflict are violations of the Geneva Conventions, and constitute war crimes under the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court, which is already considering crimes committed in relation to the conflict in Afghanistan.



quote:

On 3 July 2021, fighting intensified in Ghazni province between Afghan government forces and the Taliban. Villagers told Amnesty International that they fled into the mountains to traditional iloks, their summer grazing land, where they have basic shelters.

There was little food for the 30 families that fled. The next morning, 4 July, five men and four women returned to the village to gather supplies. On their return, they found that their homes had been looted, and that Taliban fighters were lying in wait for them.

One man, 45-year-old Wahed Qaraman, was taken from his home by Taliban fighters who broke his legs and arms, shot him in the right leg, pulled his hair out, and beat his face with a blunt object.

Another man, 63-year-old Jaffar Rahimi, was severely beaten and accused of working for the Afghan government, after cash was found in his pocket. The Taliban strangled him to death with his own scarf. Three people involved in the burial of Rahimi said that his body was covered in bruises, and that the muscles of his arms had been carved off.

Sayed Abdul Hakim, 40, was taken from his home, beaten with sticks and rifle butts, had his arms bound, and was shot twice in the leg and twice in the chest. His body was then dumped next to a nearby creek.

One eyewitness, who assisted with the burials, told Amnesty International: “We asked the Taliban why they did this, and they told us, ‘When it is the time of conflict, everyone dies, it doesn’t matter if you have guns or not. It is the time of war.’”


quote:

During the two-day killing spree, three other men – Ali Jan Tata (65), Zia Faqeer Shah (23), and Ghulam Rasool Reza (53) – were ambushed and executed as they left the iloks, and attempted to pass through Mundarakht to reach their homes in the nearby hamlet of Wuli.

In Mundarakht, they were stopped at a Taliban checkpoint, where they were executed. Ali Jan Tata was shot in the chest, and Rasool was shot in the neck. According to witnesses, Zia Faqeer Shah’s chest was so riddled with bullets that he was buried in pieces. The men’s bodies were thrown into the creek alongside Sayed Abdul Hakim.

Three more men were also callously killed in their home village. Eyewitnesses told Amnesty International that Sayeed Ahmad, 75, insisted the Taliban would not harm him as he was an elderly man, and that he intended to return to feed his cattle. He was executed with two bullets to the chest and another in his side.

Zia Marefat, 28, suffered from depression and rarely left his home in Mundarakht. He refused to leave after the Taliban took control of the village on 3 July, but eventually did so after being urged by his mother and others to flee for his own safety. However, as he walked alone to the ilok, he was captured by the Taliban, who killed him with a shot to the temple.

Karim Bakhsh Karimi, 45, who had an undiagnosed mental health condition which caused him to act erratically, did not flee with the rest of the villagers. He was also shot, execution-style, in the head.

Did anyone see the Afghan women handing over their babies to the military over the wall at the airport?

Here’s the bright side: this cluster frick, where let’s face it and not sugarcoat it, is going to lead to a great awakening. I’m sorry, 80% of the people there are for all intents and purposes totally fricked. The men are about to get killed and the women and children sold off to sex slavery. It’s horrific and anyone who isn’t a sociopath will never truly get over it. All of us are in for a bit of trauma once we start seeing some photos and videos and hearing horrific news stories.

But there’s opportunity here and Americans need a bit of harsh reality on how the world works, why we’ve largely been the exception for a few generations, and how humans throughout most of history have lived. People who want to throw this country down the garbage disposal, once the shock of this wears off, the general population is going to realize this is something worth protecting, especially once we see Taiwanese people being shot in the streets. We’ll be saying frick these commies and not put up with it if this nation still has a remote pulse.

It’s not Afghanistan that is the warning. That is telling us what the worst case scenario could be. When Taiwan falls, that’s going to be the realistic one. Trust me, the Taiwanese are going to have cameras on every street corner and Americans are going to be bombarded with thousands of clips over what the CCP does to them. So just be resigned to 2021 being the year of tyranny, but 2022 will be the year to fight back.

I truly appreciate what you're saying here, and agree that that should be the end result... but you're giving the average American way too much credit. It will all be spun into some bullshite narrative about how we're the bad guy.

As I've been saying, don't watch Kabul where all the cameras are and the world is watching. Watch everywhere else. Don't buy the "This is a new, more moderate Taliban" horseshite. Take the orderly, carefully-crafted protests by women in Kabul with a huge grain of salt. A leopard doesn't change its spots, and religious fanatics with hundreds of years of fanaticism don't change their ways.

The problem is we’re spoiled. While I can and often am hyperbolic, most people in this country haven’t spoken to someone that would literally kill someone to get here. I think they’re about to start understanding that mindset, and that alone should help turn things around.

Until you understand that desperation, you don’t truly understand what a great country we live in and don’t get extremely insulted when someone tries to surrender your own civil liberties for your and their protection. There’s a reason I get venomous when people try that, and it’s because I’ve heard and known the voices of desperation. I haven’t experienced it for myself and I pray to God I and my country never have to, but I know people who have.

We need to realize this now, and if this extreme human rights atrocity before us is what it takes, then don’t let these people suffer in vain. It’s time to wake up on what we’re up against and be thankful for our mass blessings being born in this wonderful country.

Then what made Trump sign a peace treaty with them? Im not trying to take shots or anything, I am actually curious.

I've said on this board that I think Biden has fricked this up and that I think Trump deserves some blame as well. Would what we see going on today still have happened if that peace treaty wasn't signed?

What a fricking cowardly worm John Kirby is. If this mother fricker lived in my neighborhood, I’d make his life a living hell. He’s a cowardly Porky Pig. Asked if the Taliban is an enemy he acts as if someone has a knife to his daughter’s throat: Twitter

Yea I'm no libtard or nothin but I'm starting to gather that this evacuation is going okay. Fox wants the world to believe it's Vietnam part 2 and Biden's fault and CNN just talks about Covid all day. Somethin in between is happening.

Trump knew they ultimately would regain some amount of power in the region, likely all of it. He gauged Ghani as slimy and worthless from the get go. His approach was to barter with the obvious stronger party to allow us an easier exit, avoid unnecessary blood shed and hopefully slow down the eventual decline of the established government. I also think he was not going to completely abandon the region but rather maintain a force support for the ANA through bagram which is were Biden initially fricked up. At least this is my take.

Obviously Trump didnt consider them an enemy when he met with them at Camp David last year and released a lot of Taliban leaders from incarceration.

Let’s not play the fault game, I am not a trump guy but I give him credit for wanting to end this shite show, and Biden for following through on it.

Now let’s get our people and friends out then blow the airport. Enough ducking around. Use the Satellite laser systems if needed

Why would we bomb the airport?

We invaded Afghanistan because of Al Queda, not because of the Taliban.
