I wonder if he meant holding power, or foreign peoples holding power. Maybe you have to be absolutely brutal and authoritarian to rule? The Taliban seem to be that.
Well the Yanks spent a good decade arming and training them when they were occupied by the Soviets.Heartbreaking watching the news watching normal Afghanis trying to flee as the Taliban take Kabul. People trying to cling onto aircraft, even though the plane has taken off, they are shitting themselves because of the Taliban taking things back to their equilalent of medieval times.
Question is, who re-armed this fucking Taliban scum? It's a similar end to the Vietnam war..... beat the retreat, let's go, fuck 'em!
The leaders of Afghanistan are corruptly weak, no backbone either, so it's left to the ordinary Afghan to suffer at the Taliban's hands. Disgusting!
totally heartbreaking. And a complete insult to the soldiers who died there and their families .Heartbreaking watching the news watching normal Afghanis trying to flee as the Taliban take Kabul.

Maybe there's an overrepresentation of the 'bourgeois' class in that country on social media, people who are more Americanised and do not necessarily want a society governed by a stone age religion. This may not represent what most Afghans actually want.I'm seeing increasing numbers of post on social media from Afghans appealing for help, claiming they have been abandoned by the west etc.
I'm convinced these are pro-war ads from American think tanks.
Afghanistan is not being invaded by the Taliban. The Taliban are Afghans. As barbaric as we perceive them to be, that's what most Afghans think is normal.
Maybe it's 'acceptable' for black people to say it to each other, although it's still a problematic thing even in that context.If the words aren't racist despite being defined by the far right as the cockwomble claims, then why do they need to be reclaimed?
Let them get on with it then?I'm seeing increasing numbers of post on social media from Afghans appealing for help, claiming they have been abandoned by the west etc.

Tell you what Pangloss I bet she wins her case.Ohhhhh hahahaha, this is so hilarious. 'Anti-racists' being racists then trying to retroactively redefine racism.
Aysha Khanom is a racist and deserved to be fired.

Academic sues university for discrimination after being sacked for ‘racist’ tweet
An academic claims she was wrongfully sacked by a university after her trust called a mixed race conservative commentator a ‘house negro’.
Leeds Beckett University cut ties with advisor Aysha Khanom in February and said the language was ‘racist’.
But the academic claims it is an ‘anti-racist’ term because it challenges ‘white supremacy’.
None of the above comes into it col.Let them get on with it then?
So we won't need to take any refugees from there then.
Ok I agree. Deal. Where the hell are they going to go anyway if we take 20,000 like Canada? We can't house our own and illegals from France are god knows where.

I just can't see it mate. Any reasonable judge will throw it out.Tell you what Pangloss I bet she wins her case.
They will pay out to shut her up.
Freedom of speech is a two way street but sadly these bloody activists dont get it.
If you haven't heard, the Taliban are ok now, it will be fine.I don't see that there is any other choice now.
Therein lies the possibility of a win.reasonable judge
