Taliban vows no revenge, less restrictions on women this time

[longwood50]

I would give this one as much credence as Hitler's non-aggression pact with Russian and the Munich pact he signed with the British with Hitler saying he only wanted the Sudetenland.

You consider Biden and Obama "left-wingers"?

Really? 

Oh dear.

That might be your real problem.

Your deeper misunderstanding of things. 

...and your steadfast and deluded military mindset.

Without going off topic YES both of them are Left Wing idiots that done more harm than good and caused more divisions in society by their lack of moral courage and unwillingness to make the right decisions.

And having a military mindset allows me to see things as they are unlike some lefty luvlies that live in an alternative reality.

Again without going off topic centrists leaders wouldn't support the likes off BLM  who under their watch have caused over 1 Billion dollars off damage in there inner cities and murdered over 50 off their innocent citizens unchecked.

Centrist leaders definitely wouldn't seek to disintegrate the the rule off law by openly supporting the defund the Police movement.

Well, "plain and simple" depends on where you come from - literally.

 

In the UK their policies would be very much right wing, and only the likes of Bernie Sanders would be "centrists" - and he's considered a socialist in the US.

 

In Australia they'd be right of the Liberals, who are considered centre-right there, and even Bernie Sanders would be right of the ALP (Labor), and American Republicans would be well to the right of Paulie Hanson's One Nation.

Without commenting on your bizarre view of what BLM are responsible for, many leaders considered "centrist" in the West do, openly.

If you're suggesting that Democrat leaders in the US did so, then it's simply uninformed and untrue.

Unfortunately, not unusual.

Please don't flatter yourself that yours is a "military mindset", although being blinkered and unable to think laterally are the reasons for so much military incompetence, particularly at low levels.

Loads of video evidence off them supporting defund the Police Walter and it's not even been doctored unlike the CBS interview the other night.

Again Walter quoting about the inner workings of the Military when you have not practical experience of Military life.

Again I'd take this opportunity to say God Bless the Coalition troops in harm's way at Kabul Airport (some as young as 18) doing an outstanding job in a highly hostile environment because off the incompetence of a highly corrupt and career criminal called Joe.

Feel free to name any Democrat leaders, with some evidence ..... any at all .....

..... or not, and just throw mud, as usual.

... and, again, you don't have the faintest idea what you're talking about but are simply making uninformed and unfounded assumptions based on ignorance ... but, sadly for the military you claim to represent but don't apart from its worst and most incompetent elements - which, sadly, are increasingly prevalent - that's now the norm.

Again Walter like I've said previously don't criticize those who served in the Armed Forces off their Country unless you have (and we all know you haven't) .

I don't agree with you at all regarding your feelings or perception of Joe Biden but your other comments are worthy of praise. This morning on Sky news the report and interviews with the British army guys helping to get those Afghans and British passport holders through into the processing system was a site to behold. As they said these soldiers were undertaking tasks they had never experienced or trained for but to see  soldiers carrying babies and escorting families to comparative safety of the next processing area should make us all mindful, and if British, proud, of the difficult job they have been asked to suddenly do.

Totally agree Gummy mate those lads have been working for nearly a week now with no down time in the off Afgan summer in body armour helmets and webbing on doing a sterling job while at time same time having to watch the Taliban taunting them (they'd never have got that close before).

It shows the discipline off the lads on the ground especially the boys that have served on Op Herrick previously I bet their dying to let loose on The Taliban with some 5.56mm and 7.62mm.

I  still stand by my statement Joe Biden and his criminal family are scum.

No, just name any with any evidence .....

It shouldn't be hard if they all did, but all too evidently throwing mud is all you can do.

What a sad insult that is to the "military mind", but sadly it's little surprise after the shambles of the last twenty years and more and little wonder Iraq and Afghanistan are left in the position they are.

Walter go back to TVF your boring people now and stop insulting The Military when you've never served in it it's very disrespectful of you when the closest you came to service was The Duke of Edinburgh's award scheme.

Members,

The topic is "Taliban vows no revenge, less restrictions on women this time."

This Forum recognises that people view topics from all countries often because they are interested in hearing the comments of the members on the subject being discussed. They come for the main event and not the minor side bouts, though some probably come for any bout!

So separate back into your respective corners, have a drink and then come out to throw punches about the topic, not about each other or other subjects. Otherwise the referee will need to hide your punches or deduct points from your scorecards .

Thank You
