    The War in Afghanistan

    Succession war risk has to be handled somehow anyway because of multiple heirs and serial monogamy. It's also not exactly common men who have multiple wives in the Arab world and Muslim Asia, it usually is only the rich people who can afford that, though in some shitholes in Africa it can get...

    The War in Afghanistan

    The "may" is the issue here. It indeed may happen. They, or some of them, may also get detained by the Taliban for who knows what reason for months, like this guy. The total unpredictability is the issue...

    The War in Afghanistan

    Only since they got their asses kicked trying to invade Israel.

    The War in Afghanistan

    Mostly laughable position due to having to rely in Russian/Chinese allies for a supply corridor and overflight rights. If you can count on Pakistan to go along (you can't), just place the planes right there.

    The War in Afghanistan

    It's worse than this. https://freebeacon.com/national-security/military-could-have-stopped-afghanistan-bomber-who-killed-13-americans-service-member-testifies/ As i said, typical GWOT problem - highest parts of chain of command micromanaging troops to try avoid PR messes at any cost.

    The War in Afghanistan

    Definitely not with State Department, battle lawyers or whoever deciding whether snipers are to take a shot or not, or having to OK each artillery fire mission. Those absolutely need to be out, especially in a conventional war. No sane country fights this way. A military can either focus on PR...

    The War in Afghanistan

    It's going to take way more than a baseless blanket statement of equal involvement for me to take such a statement seriously. Turkey had far more to do with the Syrian opposition, and also a whole lot more to do with the migrant flows - after all, Turkey itself was the biggest route for the 2015...

    The War in Afghanistan

    Funny how majority of the supposedly sponsored opposition migrants weren't even from Syria. Western leftists and muh human rights lobbies carry far more blame for this crisis than the whole Syria conflict, nevermind what little Israel contributed to the opposition there. Stop giving them money...

    The War in Afghanistan

    Sorry, but socially conservative socialism is still leftism and still sucks. Wokeists aren't what makes socialism suck, wokeists suck because they are just one of many mutations of socialism. Old timey non-woke commies still sucked, i live in a country that used to be ruled by such and the...

    The War in Afghanistan

    Yes it is. So they would head to Canada, Australia, USA. Only if there they got the same treatment, would stay in Turkey or Lebanon. They aren't very interested in poor countries that won't coddle them. But as i said before, if Europe is willing to reconsider its liberal principles when it...

    The War in Afghanistan

    You are a self admitted leftist, so i have no choice but to take this judgement as praise. So Qatar with much less petro money. https://habartm.org/archives/5844 Of course, as any stereotypical shithole, it has grand prestige projects in the capital.

    The War in Afghanistan

    So are we talking developed or stable? These absolutely aren't the same thing. North Korea is very stable, more than any of the Arab countries, even the rich ones, but it's the golden standard for being a shithole and definitely not developed. Turkmenistan is a hereditary dictatorship, so...

    The War in Afghanistan

    That's just third world fanboyism. Look at the existing monarchies of the same region... Not exactly developed countries. Not tendency, you are picking famous marxists to make your argument against high IQ people. Which is a very low IQ thing to do - after all, it's not like low IQ people can't...

    The War in Afghanistan

    It's near impossible to make people with low IQ smart, but it's insanely easy to turn someone with a great mind into a drooling idiot. Big stick to the head easy, years of marxist indoctrination are just a slower and more expensive way.

    The War in Afghanistan

    Bullshit. I'd recommend you take your own advice before you give it. You are taking the most limited interpretation of Taqiya in existence and lecture me that this is all it is. https://www.france24.com/en/20130313-taqiya-france-islam-deception-favoured-terrorists-jihad They aren't gay and they...

    The War in Afghanistan

    Yes. If they are all highly religious and principled, which is a wild assumption. And then there is the subtle difference that according so some lying about these things at infidel's expense is absolutely not a sin. Especially if that deception helps your religion's cause. Then not doing that is...

    The War in Afghanistan

    Well for one conservative Muslims of such strong principles would be staying in islamist shitholes of the highest order willingly. Unless they subscribe to one of islamic schools that recognize Taqiya, then they can lie to infildels all day about anything as long as they can claim it benefits...

    The War in Afghanistan

    Congratulations, now any chancer or opportunist who arrives on your shores will fake a conversion. Basically a more conservative story of the same silly policy that is being exploited already in its woke variant...

    The War in Afghanistan

    Iraq kinda got "neutralized" off it. The rest is the same, often proxies of Russia or China.
