There is an isolationist tendency in the Republican Party who would have supported such a move. The USA illegally occupy 1/3rd of Syria's territory. They occupy the main oil producing region and are sabotaging agriculture and water supplies needed by the Syrian people. The fact that it's widely believed that the USA withdrew (or unknown that they invaded at all) is another victory for state/corporate media propaganda.

They will be getting extracted and will pop up again in Syria or Yemen or Somalia or Mozambique or wherever the next proxy war is. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's on record that much of the Taliban's support comes from Saudi. And we all know who equips them. What a fucked up world we live in. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adam Posted August 16, 2021 Share Posted August 16, 2021 I work with a lad who fled back in 2001 (he thinks) unfortunately his family didn't make it out, he ended up in Hull, before being sent down to Exeter, he now lives in Essex (probably a joke to be made here). He isn't sure of his exact birth date and therefore age, although he thinks he is around 26. We went out for dinner a few months ago and I asked him about Afghanistan and if he'd go back etc, he said he was keen to see his family that were still there but had been told not to attempt coming over as the Taliban were starting to become a lot more visible and kidnapping was a real possibility. He was also pretty convinced about what is happening now would happen. He's been off the past few days, have sent him a couple texts just checking in and he seems utterly dejected. Similar to you, one of my friends came over 15 years ago and is in despair at the state of the country and worried about his family that remained. It’s a travesty what is happening. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Detournement Posted August 16, 2021 Share Posted August 16, 2021 (edited) This is like the International Brigades all over again but instead of communist workers going abroad to fight we will send guys who wear brown brogues to the pub and will likely be kidnapped before they step off the plane.

Back to making opium and being told Mohammed was the ultimate shagger for the Afghans. The Taliban pretty well wiped out opium production when they were in charge. Then the Americans took over and it opened up again, becoming the Taliban's main source of revenue. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Detournement Posted August 16, 2021 Share Posted August 16, 2021 A deal has definitely been done. The Taliban lads get to make sure no one is heavy petting who shouldn't be and mineral mining and gas exploration get to work without worrying about IEDs. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
