    Just FYI, "Established Titles" is a scam company. They are not recognised by the Scottish office that tracks genuine heraldic titles, and they skirt the law by only implying (but not stating explicitly) that owning their piece of paper makes you a lord of somewhere...

    You inherently cannot become a lord of a souvenir plot, this has been debated in parliament. Edit from my comment: I am very disappointed Shirvan, these ‘established titles’ are fake. There is only one title of nobility that is purchasable called a Scottish barony which classes as minor nobility. No other title can be purchased, all of these fake titles that come from buying souvenir plots of land are scams and have been debated in parliament many times. If you buy one of these fake titles, it will not be accepted by the government and will not be reflected on any paperwork. In addition to that, you said it gives you a ‘crest’ this is inherently false as a full armorial achievement can only be granted by the Court of the Lord Lyon in Scotland or the Garter King of Arms in England. Irrespective of that a ‘crest’ is only a very small feature of an armorial achievement.

    I deployed to Afghanistan. Many afghans explained to me that they don’t understand why they would vote for a man from another tribe to lead them. Politics in Afghanistan don’t really go beyond a persons village or outside of their city. The federal government has pretty limited power in what it can do to the average afghan and has been the case for a long time as the standard of living and day to day life of the afghan has not changed in the last 2000 years outside of the advents of the mobile phone and combustion engine. If you looked at an afghan village when the British were there in the 19th century and now the only difference would be plastic garbage in the gutters and a few motorcycles

    Agree. And regaining their freedom is just the starting point. Afghans need to grow as a peaceful society, and it may need some years. As they were in a state of war for more than 40 years. And it needs time to change people's mindsets. When I heard that they sell their excess firearms to buy food, I think it is a good development. History proves that letting civilians hold firearms in their daily lives will lead to chaos. People will prefer to use violence over talking. So, I hope they can export as many as civilian-owned firearms as soon as possible, to stabilize their security sooner.

They also have popular Pashtun support.

    I've discussed a lot with Afghan friends over the years. Let's start with the obvious: the current centralized state doesn't work. Then the second obvious thing: we don't want to break down Afghanistan and attach the parts to neighboring countries. So what remains? Prior to the Taliban takeover, we had 20 years to implement a better system. Better than the highly centralized state, that would only work in a country with relatively uniform population (language, culture, religion). Such a fragmented country can't work as a centralized state. You need something that's decentralized, with a balance between states and federal power. Good models for Afghanistan would have been the Malaysian federation, where individual states can decide to vote more stringent civil laws, always respecting federal guidelines. Or the canton model in Switzerland. That way, you can manage different language laws at the state level and have official federal languages. You can also have different religious accommodations at the state level (for example, observing a day off for one of the prophets in areas with majority shia population).

Guess how that will play in US news and what it does to his party in the election. Not saying it's right, just real. Also, without close oversight, most of that money will vanish in a black hole of corruption. Again, not right, but real. A lot of it did WITH oversight. Nothing is easy in Afghanistan. It's been made into hell on earth and its neighbors have a vested interest in keeping it weak and troubled. Agree about the lawsuit though.

As a result, the Afghan government has no real power over the countryside where it's far away from capital and traditional values are still held. It's ironic because many Americans are all for limited government, but US tried to impose a "democratic" government in a place where people favor no government.

Corruption is like a disease it needs to be eliminated, prison doe not help with corruption it just gives it leeway. If Central and South America want to be free from corruption (or atleast have it in a very reduced form since completely removing corruption is impossible due to human nature) then it must be eliminated but that itself would be very hard to achieve. Anyways this is mostly just a crazy pipe dream that will most likely never come to pass. Also ofocurse one important thing I need to mention is that the leader/Emperor is the servant of the people he is ruling over, that is the responsibility that a ruler carries and they must not abuse it, you need to give away any enjoyment you had in life to make sure all your subjects are doing well, as their well being comes before yours the leader's which would've been me I guess the Emperor.

    Although this video seemed promising at first it fails to mention one major issue Afghanistan has faced in its entire history of roughly 200 years and that is the countrys ethnic issue which can and I believe will lead into a major ethnic war similar to rewanda and the many genocides that took place their. If you're not aware of this then please do read up on this if the situation of Aghanistan interests you. As a Afghanistani I can confirm that their are potential risks for an ethnic conflict and the one of the main reason you mentioned in the beginning of the video - CENTRALISATION. One of the biggest issues Afghanistan has faced is centralisation. This started from the time of Abdur Rahman, one of the many kings or Afghanistan which sold many of its coethnic to the British Empire creating the Durrand Line and committed genocide against Uzbeks (racially different to pashtuns and a threat to pashtun dominance as Uzbeks have had a history of controlling the lands now known as Afghanistan) and Hazara's (racially the same as Uzbeks but are religiously a shia group). One of Abdur Rahmans motivations were to centralise a deeply conservative and ethnically diverse nation under the Pashtun dominance. The Pashtun is an ethnic group in Afghanistan that lived along side other ethnic groups such as the Tajik, Uzbek, Turkmen, Hazara, Balouch, Aymaq, Kyrgyz, Qizilbash, Pashai, Arab, Nuristani. Since the creation of Afghanistan and the nation state model imposed on the native people of Afghanistan the Pashtun believe that they are the sole rulers of Afghanistan. And in the process it has created a history for itself (Where in many cases they consider themselves as the original inhabitants of the land and everyone else as immigrants) to justify its continued genocide of Hazaras, and now Tajiks and the many land grabbing against Hazaras(Dai kundi, Balkhab, Behsud - search these locations for articles), Tajiks(Panjshir, Badakhshan - search these locations for articles), Uzbeks & Turkmen (Faryab - search these locations for articles) that is happening under the watch and support of the taliban which is also a pashtun group. Unfortunantly there has been no population count of the country so we cannot say for certain if which is the majority ethnic group and which is the minority because the ruling pashtun elite feared they'd lose control politically and this would be humiliating to them as the nation's very name is Afghan - istan or translated to land of the Afghans(pashtuns) which non pashtuns would refer to Pastuns as Awghan and the latinised version is Afghan. I understand I mentioned many different aspects of this issue in an unstructured way. But I hope CaspianReport does make a video on the ethnic issues and the recent revival of the Northern Alliance (which the leaders of the group has come back again except for Ahmad shah massoud which was assassinated by Al Qaeda) and the possible ethnic war that is looming over the taliban and their involvement of worsening the ethnic tension even though they claim to be men of god but have been caught committing crimes such as paedophilia, rape, assault on innocent people and genocide of other ethnic groups and making way for pashtun settlers from pakistan. I understand that I am from Afghanistan and I could be biased but I welcome anyone interested to take a look at these situations I've mentioned.

I’m for the safety of the west it’s better to leave it to its own devices and sanction it as a terrorist state until it can prove otherwise. The old way of thinking that conceding and maybe they’ll change is a failed concept. It didn’t work with China and it won’t work with Afghanistan. while monitoring any potential danger it causes. They think they won a war with the US. Isolate the place don’t allow anything to come and go. I don’t care how much of a disaster it becomes for those living there.

My understanding of the law is that already planted fields may be farmed to the completion of the growing season, but new and future fields cannot be planted. Thats why there are still so many poppy fields around, the Taliban promised not to touch them for the next year. We'll see how they treat poppy farmers next year. Hopefully they'll use the fields for substistence farming instead, thereby fixing the food crisis.

    I think current regime has one plus point i.e. the simplicity and trivial methods of governance, which limit govt spending to much lower ebb. Plus tight control over mass corruption would definitely bring more revenues. If we see on north of Afg, we have monarch running states, western side has a theocracy and east has a rag tag democracy. So I think neighbours would accept any system if it brings stability in the region and start economic activities like intra regional trades. Afg has a bright future with more Diplomatic relations with neighbours and two super powers. West should work on drawing the red lines and convey them to current regime linking with economic aid and defreezing assets.

America tried to create a centralized government with it's head in Kabul, not realizing that Kabul is just the main powerbroker between cities like Mazar, Herat and Kandahar.

On top of that, the Soviets attempted to influence the nation... with no appreciable effect. Then, we, the West went in and spent years "nation building" Again, no appreciable effect. Perhaps, we just let Afgani's figure it out on their own this time. Yes, the Taliban are not good people. But there are others in Afganistan who oppose them. Let them figure it out and then we all can create a civil programs to help them. But we should continue with humanitarian aid.

    Afghanistan lives in the tribal era. Politically and culturally are at the state western Europe was in the dark ages, after the fall of the Roman empire. This, does not make them less human. But it puts them at a lower cultural and social level than the rest of the world. If you try to enforce modern political institutions to such a society, you will fail. This is why, both the Soviets and the Americans failed, when they tried to enforce their own version to modernity. Here in the west we are concerned with theocracy, the position and rights of women. We are concerned that the new regime is authoritarian. We have to acknowledge that the Afghani "voted" for it. Not in the ballot box, but with their opposition against the modern institutions, their inability to understand the concepts of democracy, rule of law, checks and balances etc. Many of them voted with their AK47. So, we should not care any more about Afghanistan. They have made their choice. All, men and women got what they wanted. We wish them good luck with the political system they chose, (though I believe that it is a dead end), but it is their choice. On the other hand I am not going to give them any more aid of any form. I don't want my country to have any relations with such a backward society. This is my choice They have to live with what they had before modernity knocked their doors.

    It is not just afghans we arabs do as well reject democracy and equality between men and women and so on. We are muslims not seculars and we want theocracy. Islam does demand theocracy and one of the requirements to be legitimately called a Muslim is to believe in Qur'an and sunnah fully which does include the entirety of Islamic sharia'a and rules. Taliban are not in fact extremists nor are seen as such by Muslims in terms of opinion. They are seen as fair and good leaders and for many they see them as role model for declaring independence which for Arabs for instance we are struggling with and still in wars to do so since 2011. Take my words seriously now for that what usa and the crown prince are imposing on saudi arabia of liberalisation will soon enough cause a civil war and insurgencies all over the arabian peninsula and collapse other regimes as domino effect and remember that we aren't defeated in syria yet. You got to understand that secularism is apostasy from Islam and that the belief itself does not permit to do or believe in such things that the west has been trying to impose upon us since the 40s. My advice for people in the west is to not be concerned for when it will blow up in their faces but be more concerned for how they are being used by their own governments and how they are made to live like animals in cages with illusion of freedom. Our land will never be for grabs nor will it be secular and atheist. Each war and transgression and scam fuels religiousness and hatred towards our enemies further and further.

    It is not just afghans we arabs do as well reject democracy and equality between men and women and so on. We are muslims not seculars and we want theocracy. Islam does demand theocracy and one of the requirements to be legitimately called a Muslim is to believe in Qur'an and sunnah fully which does include the entirety of Islamic sharia'a and rules.

    As other commenters noted, we are forcing them into the mold of a modern centralized state when they don't want it. Afghans just want to follow their tribal leaders and be left alone beyond that, which should be fine by us. We can't make Afghans think or act like westerners.

    The situation in Afghanistan is hardly a :"Humiliating Defeat" for the US. We kept their government propped up for years wit hjust a few thousand troops. We hads less than 5000 troops there and things held together. It was only afte rthis token force withdrew, that the Afghans simply gave up to the Taliban. You cannot support a government the locals do not beleive in forever.

    while not disagreeing with this , Zeihan has an extemely basic understanding of pretty much everything, if i were you i would'nt quote him, he isn't held in high regard by anyone, he is like the pulp fiction (books) of geopolitical commentary, simplistic, he doesn't understand the nuances, and complexities and has an extremely orthodox and predictable mind.
