No, it's that you have bad reading comprehension. The US has laws against abuse of women. The Taliban doesn't, because they don't believe women deserve the opportunities and protections that they are afforded in the US. I never said the Taliban don't have laws altogether. Understand now?

Because I am basing it on what the Taliban themselves proclaims to believe. Education for women? Forbidden. Women being able to vote? Not happening. Women having any leverage against abusive husbands? Gone. Women being able to wear something slightly more relaxed than a fully-covering black...

Armenians already tried to exterminate us from there once, first during WW1 and the post-war period and then again in the 90s. We hit them back the first time and their Bolshevik and Entente backers (with help from you guys) and then completely broke apart due to internal infighting in the 90s...

The US has laws against this and organizations dedicated to punishing crimes and upholding women's rights. The Taliban doesn't even have such laws. A woman abused in Afghanistan now has nowhere to turn to. Additionally, the US has almost 340 million people. Afghanistan has barely over 30...

While Afghanistan has been a mess, the US has been way less brutal than the Taliban has and will be. So yeah, women's rights is kinda relevant. I don't mean to disparage certain commenters here but please, please don't lower yourselves to the level of actually supporting these savages and...

Gotta love the sheer arrogance of Armenians to be screaming about liberated territories...that weren't even part of the Azerbaijani territory they were originally claiming and in fact were (supposedly) going to give back under Ter-Petrosyan and even Kocharyan in exchange for Azerbaijan...

Huh, I was under the impression that Turkey only had around 170 F-16s. Guess I was wrong.

Just for comparison - when the Soviet Union withdrew from Afghanistan, Soviet-trained Afghan forces held the line for 2 years before being overrun. NATO hasn't even finished fully withdrawing yet and the Taliban has already won. LMAO.

One saving grace is that Afghanistan is quite far away, as opposed to being right on Turkey's border.

Just a reminder that even though ANA is awful, the Taliban are not saints and will be a plague upon Afghanistan all the same.

We really are saints to be putting up with these psychopaths for this long. Any other country in our place would've wiped them off the map years ago. Armenians should really be thankful that they don't border China.

Scandinavians are actually fairly nice and I don't wish them harm. Ideally, they should be sent back to Afghanistan and Syria or tossed back to Iran but if you want to screw over Europe, I'd recommend France.

It depends. The ones are mostly like this are the ones who really cling to the Crusader "Europe under attack!" mentality, who think that the world is like Lord of the Rings and their dopey selves are the last line of defense against the savage orc brown hordes. Then there are others, who think...

LMAO, this is quite literally the EU trying to bribe Turkey not to say "screw it" and stop holding the refugees back. It's not even because the EU is incapable of policing its own borders. They just know that their border security doesn't have even the restraint of Turkish border security, so...

What do you mean "return"? Mercenaries never went anywhere, we had mercenaries in World War One for heaven's sake.

Uh...is it normal for fathers to kiss their sons in public there? Or you mean like on the cheek? Still...ugh? Got a news link?

If this is what some flooding can do, I don't even wanna think about what Istanbul is gonna look like after the Big One hits. Assuming that no proper work has been done to minimize earthquake damage in the city, it's probably gonna look like Stalingrad times 100.

Huh, really? I thought Sikhs didn't have that veneration for cows that Hindus do.

Weight, size, etc. Where you might be able to fit 1 or 2 30 round mags, a 60 round one might not fit. Not to mention the weight, there's a reason militaries stopped using drum magazines, they made the guns too heavy to handle.

I find that Sikhs are usually the least prone to extremism among the three major religions of that region but maybe I'm just not educated well-enough about their history. You can't swing a dead cat without hitting a Hindutva or Islamist moron somewhere but Sikhs seem generally cool.
