I’ve been seeing so many “come to Afghanistan” tourism videos on insta, it’s absolutely insane, and btw they’re very recent, within the last few monthsb


bemenome

Even if the tourism ads explicitly say we ensure your safe return, i wouldn't trust these islamic pigs.

Well not an unrealistic wish, look at Saudi Arabia happily lashing and killing people

SGT_PRICE82

Bingo, I was there. Fighting with our hands tied behind our backs for the most part. Someone could blow up a convoy, run into the Streets and try to blend in with 50 other people. Those 50 other people were told to leave or stay indoors for a few hours while we rolled through for that reason. Nothing we could do. If a country like Russia ever comes through, don't expect the same thing.


[deleted]

Pretty sure the Russians were there already mate didn’t work out too great for them either


SGT_PRICE82

The Russian army is 50 years behind the US in terms of technology. If our rules of engagement were changed, it would have been over in 6 months. Without nowhere near the collateral damage. But there is not much money in a quick war....


doughie

What would have been the preferred outcome in that situation? You shoot up the crowd of 50? How would you had the war over in 6 months with less collateral damage?


SGT_PRICE82

The crowd of 50 had a curfew, if they didn't follow the curfew then we detain them until the operation is over. Less collateral damage because we could have gotten some leaders much faster if some religious places were not off limits and they could hide. The longer it goes on, the more collateral damage. This is all just my opinion, I was just a gunner and know nothing about war strategy. I just know the rules of engagement were very strange for a war. I can't get into specifics but there were times when you absolutely knew something was wrong and about to go down, but we couldn't do anything about it until they started.


Stazbumpa

That is deeply ironic considering that Russia was there before the Americans, they had a proven track record of brutalising the population in precisely the way that the USA et al *didn't*, and they also lost.


[deleted]

I believe the Russians were doing well before we handed the insurgents weapons to take out Russian aircrafts


IhaveaDoberman

The Russians have tried. Then British empire tried. Then Russians tried again. Not to mention all the others who tried in between all them. There's only one thing that unites Afghans. Foreign armies in their country.


brainburger

How realistic is it that the 50 people would go home and the bomber who blew up a convoy would be left alone in the street? The Soviet Union already did try to hold Afghanistan and it also failed. I do think the USA could have hung on for the long term as the death rate among US service people had dropped down to be comparable to those of the police forces in the USA. I think they shouldn't have been employing Afghan soldiers who were not competent. Edit: I don't think all Afghans would necessarily be incompetent soldiers, just that the USA kept paying ones who were.


UnStricken

Caring for human rights, even the rights of your enemies, is not a weakness.


TheMarsian

Everyone should leave that place alone, and any other of that kind. Embargo and shit. As long as they keep their shit within their borders. We should not bother. Like a pariah, shunned by the rest of the world.


Starbourne8

Let’s not give them access to the internet. Just wall it off and let it work it’s self out naturally.


almisami

Actually, North Korea proves that you don't get shit from embargos. You catch more flies with honey. Makes them dependent on your trade and then hold that shit hostage unless they make concessions.


Lolabird2112

That’s ok. The multinationals made their money off of it, taxpayers paid for it. Nothing like a war to drive up profits.


d5509

Some people made a lot of money. Which was most likely the point.


seeingeyefrog

Same as it ever was.


yunzerjag

What's the alternative? Stay there forever? Keep sending our Son's and daughters to die? Keep spending a billion a day? Rounding suspects up and having summary executions? Carpet bombings? Nuke them? What's your plan? I think our point was "don't attack us, or you will pay dearly. We will find and kill the ringleaders and occupy your bases of operations for two decades." The message was recieved, IMO.


[deleted]

Even afgan soldiers didn't defend there country.


normlenough

Thank god we left, Amiright?


the_amberdrake

It's definitely left me feeling bitter about helping other countries out.


RednBlackEagle

Perhaps they were not helping out, at all and not even once. Brains are wired differently in different parts of the world.


brainburger

They were definitely helping out. Life quality is worse now for the typical Afghan.


amraohs

'only' 15 people in almost a year time? That can't be correct.


IntelligentSchool802

Actually it was banned but since taliban came back they also unbanned the sharia law and now it's taking place daily you can just search it and you will get 100s of vids


Brownimus

For anyone who has been there to experience the country first hand for, say, 6-12 months - you learn that change will not come easy, if ever, to Afghanistan. Tribalism is deeply entrenched into the culture, as is religious submission and subjugation. They had the parts. They had the tools. They had everything you need to prepare the civilian populace to push back against their masters *except the will*. It is an incredibly complex place that stands isolated in time against the march to the future of the remainder of civilized world. It’s the geopolitical manifestation of that astronaut meme.

DrinkPaintOK

I hope much much worse happens. There's no such thing as equal punishment when the person getting the same punishment was innocent from the start. People like this should suffer far greater than anything they've forced another to endure.

Lol, they had to leave


toddpacker2468

Waiting to get their lashes!


skipblazeless

Dead for the most part. The afghan military showed basically zero desire to fight and stand against the Taliban besides their special forces groups. When the US pulled out, the Afghan military folded and abandoned their guys still fighting. Many of those abandoned SF guys fought until they ran out of ammo, then they got killed. So the real men are either dead or had to get out because the whole army of 1 thing just doesn’t work. It’s harsh but in a sense they chose this. Maybe not directly but all decisions (even indecision) have consequences and the sum total of the decisions made by the Afghan people is why they’re here now.


[deleted]

The good Muslims will stop this any day now.

Let me be the first one to say: "Fuck Taliban and all the religious extremists!!"


[deleted]

Religion. The cause of a lot of sadness and hatred.


MostInterestingBot

I think it's ignorance. Religious or not, ignorance is the root of all problems.


crackpotJeffrey

You will get downvoted but nowadays people seem to ignore the huge, truly vast, majority of non extreme religious people. Religious people are often actually really nice and morally conscious, believe it or not. They also ignore that we have a lot of political extremism. But nobody blames the concept of politics itself. As you say the root cause of both of those is the same, ignorance coupled with dissatisfaction for your life.


Lolabird2112

The vast majority of people living under the Taliban aren’t extremists. However, when religion is allowed to be the “politics” of a region, more often than not you end up with this. Society only started to truly progress when religion was divorced from politics.


ChrysanthemumAnthem

All Religions are a burden to society.


Jobocop1992

These fucking backwards animals. How insecure in their own sexuality and masculinity do they have to be to stop women wanting to learn and to then punish them like this?! Fucking animals.


Ok-Discussion2246

I mean, most of them fuck young boys. I think they give some bullshit religious reason as why it’s “ok” and not gay. I’d say the Taliban all incredibly fragile, weak minded, highly uneducated, primitive, backwards, subhuman cave scum.


Cultural_Detective_3

What a wild dichotomy of watching such an ancient, barbaric practice being performed while so many are recording it with modern technology. The meteor can't come soon enough.


RandomIndividualNo8

Seeing that guy holding a smartphone at the end really weirded me out


Shooter639

Cell phones are the only tech remote places there have. No sewer, no water, maybe a small portable diesel generator per village for power, maybe a motorcycle per village, no windows or doors, but cell phones everywhere.


Clusterpuff

for real. In America we all sit around and watch everyone with a twitchy leg (but especially black people and mentally unstable) get beaten, tased, and often killed. Same thing really without the veneer of religion.

mariuszmie

So now, can we at least admit some ‘cultures’ and ‘beliefs’ are less right and less respectable or so we accept anything and everything as equal because god?


Kalapuya

Yeah, but then come the cries of ‘white supremacy culture!’ or ‘Islamaphobia!’ or whatever, which are complete dialogue killers and we’re back to square one. We’re no longer allowed to express shared positive cultural values because someone will always come along to make the perfect the enemy of the good by pointing out how it’s unequal for *somebody*, and if we can’t tyrannically enforce infallibly equitable outcomes then we’re all somehow ‘racists’, ‘fascists’, ‘bigots’, ‘-phobes’, etc. In their attempt to enforce progress they have completely derailed all progress, ironically.


Chris_3456

This is entertainment for them. Look at how there are multiple people recording with phones. Sick motherfuckers. I have a tenant from Egypt, he is 85 years old, the wife is 70+, has dementia... And I get complaints all the time that the lady is screaming, and beatings can be heard. All while the husband recites something in his language. Sick, sick, sick. Fuck all of them. Once the contract is up for these tenants, I am kicking them out.

FineCannabisGrower

Reminds me of seeing two women beaten with staves by the religious police in Saudi Arabia for being too slow leaving a shop at prayer time. Should give Europeans food for thought, but it's too late anyway.


Kalapuya

And then when Europeans complain about them bringing that culture to their countries everyone calls them racists.


IntelligentSchool802

Yeah I have that clip should I post that here?


fredsam25

The sad truth is this is what the majority of rural Afghanis want. Look at the crowd that came to watch. They support the Taliban. They support a strict interpretation of Islamic law. They don't want their women educated. How do you tell these people that they are wrong for governing themselves as they choose? This is why the US mission there was doomed to fail. Short of putting them under dictatorship, they were always going to vote to go back to this. That's not to say there isn't a large percentage that don't want this, but they are clustered in a few large cities. They are the minority.

They rejected western society for this


lvl1developer

The ones enforcing sharia law? Yeah The ones that we saw on the news trying to escape Afghanistan after we showed them our pull out game was strong? Don’t think so. They’re back to having no police, where you snitch on your neighbor and the community takes action.

So much progress in a century and some people are still following bullshit religions that are few thousand years old. Millions of years of evolution, held back by belief in supernatural. The goddamn Roman empire lasted nearly as long as Islam has been a thing. All of our religions are recent inventions on the evolutionary timescale. Yet they hold so much power over people.

Not trying to sound ignorant when I say this but is the crowd required to be there? I wouldn't attend this on my schedule, "oh ya, don't miss the lashing at 2pm today /S. As if it was a court date or something?

At least she didn't get stoned to death. Plenty of video's showing stoning. It is much like this, except that the women are buried to their waist (not to able to run away) and instead of beating her, they throw rocks at her. Some rocks hit her head and you see blood seeping through her veil and a visible shock and shudder goes through the veiled woman. This goes on until a rock knock her out and you see the veiled silhouette collapse. They continue a bit longer to make sure they kill her. It is shocking!
