    3rd grade education, and high as hell is a great combination. You should have been there when we were training them. The first time on the range we stopped it 2 mins in. Everything was through translators, so not a lot of person to person face time up to that point. It never even occured to us someone would get up, get jacked up and head over to a military range. It was the first of many learning experiences with them that thankfully nobody got hurt. But just wild.

    It's the western propaganda machine pushing the narrative that the fact we spent 20 years fighting the Taliban and left them in a stronger position than before we went in isnt a defeat for the western powers, but is actually all down to some inherent problem with the Afghan people themselves. The Taliban offered unconditional surrender, to give up their weapons and disband the organisation shortly after the US invasion. The west ignored that offer and have made the Taliban stronger than ever.

    Afghanistan is made of 14 different tribes. Rather than the USA formulating a plan to unite these tribes against the Taliban, we created our own military in a country where any 8 year old Afghani boy could tell you the USA oversimplified a complex political power struggle. The ANA was nothing more than Ameica meddling in a culture they never understood.... Come to think of it, not understanding other cultures is very American. And so is wasting 2 trillion dollars.

In my view, the “propaganda machine” actually wants us to see the consequences of our withdrawal and the anger/disillusionment of military folk who worked with Afghanistan. The KZread algorithm is just a tool for maximizing “engagement” of viewers. That’s why it’s recommending this video.

    It's more complicated than a 12yr old video of stoner soldiers. Afghanistan is a regional place, tribal. The fighters know everyone in their villages. The Taliban used WhatsApp (this is literally true) to contact Afghan army soldiers and offer them "amnesty". The deal was basically, come fight with us in new Islamic state and we'll forgive you fighting with the Americans. Their commander explained this in an interview a few days back. The Taliban literally walked in with no resistance. The Afghan army laid down their weapons and helped them take control village by village, and they walked in as fast we walked out. These people wanted an Islamic state and they've got one now - and they've got several billion dollars of US military hardware to go with it because Biden and his woke generals are idiots.
