'Murica! (403 Viewers)

[Siamak]

It seems like a local cultural thing. Soldiers going there had to coop with it, weren’t allowed to stop it. I heard many stories of how difficult it was for the forces going there and who had to build relationships with local tribes or warlords. Cultural differences were huge, in the rural areas you’re still literally speaking about tribes with no strong national identity and weak influence of government. A lot of corruption, trauma, influence and pressure of the Taliban. Opposite to here where doing business is straight to the point a sergeant there had to sit down with the head of a tribe multiple times in order to build a relationship, with all the barrières it just became something very difficult.

Moral of the story, you can’t go to a country haunted by wars for decades, totally different cultural values far from the Western ideas and expect to build something from scratch.

Funny enough the US is funding the Taliban until this very day in the form of humanitarian aid, which in turn will be misused. Wouldn’t surprise me if the EU is doing that too.

Tribal and backward community Afghanistan, in fact the US spent 20 years and training Afghans military to be able to defend themselves but taliban were walked with smile without firing a bullet and the military surrendered easily.
Forcible rape of women, a culture of polygamy, and strict adherence to religion are among the problems of Afghan society.

Be careful, Afghans force pretty boys to make up and dance and very crazy about having sex with them.
It's a common culture in Afghanistan.

it's common everywhere. it's just less open and in your face.

It's not Iran thing nor Tajikistan(not quite sure), dancing teenagers for lustful men don't happen in my area. It's practiced in some parts of Afghanistan.

just because you don't see it, doesn't mean it's not there. sexualization of children happens everywhere. it may not be dancing, but there are other ways the creeps do it.

Yet another air disaster in Trump's Murica, this time in AZ.

Supposedly this was Motley Crew's aircraft? Regardless, I blame Trump. It's clearly his fault.

 

[s4tch]

That’s the definition of ethnic cleansing. Modern day trail of tears.
I don’t think it’ll happen but if it happens it’ll be a stain on this nation’s history.

the fact that he's ready to openly talk about this speaks volumes about his character

he should have never been elected. shame on everyone who assisted, including democrats who failed to push his prosecution during biden's term. he should be locked up

no disasters for more than a decade

4th (?) disaster since the imbecile took over and fired everyone because this is still a reality show

but dei and biden

he'd own gaza. and he wouldn't let anyone return.

it's not the home of a nation, it's a real estate development project.

i'll let that sink in.



yeah, he's easily the biggest piece of shit of any western politician i can remember.

if there's any sane republicans left in that rotten party, they should just start to speak as soon as possible. this is already a massive genocide, imagine what would happen if trump sends the us army there. it's not about left or right, woke or conservative, it's about basic human decency. this piece of shit must be stopped.

Wow.

He's using a genocide for his own real estate development projects.

Thoughts, @Hust ?

why are South African farmers America’s responsibility? Can’t they just fix their own country?

Great reminder of my favorite Zimbabwe joke of all time. Told to me in South Africa at my company office by an immigrant from Zimbabwe.

Q: How do you make a white wine?

Spoiler: A

You take his farm away.

OK OK, it's more of an audio joke with a play on the homonym for wine = whine, but you get it.

Wow.

He's using a genocide for his own real estate development projects.

Thoughts, @Hust ?

Gentrification and geonocide just got linguistically closer.

How many plane crashes did Trump cause since he got into office?
4 or 5, right?
You guys won't have any planes left by the end of his presidency.

You're just a salty libtard.

Don't expect a serious answer.

But if you are lucky, Nomuken might post a nice meme from his facebook boomer group.

Why have DEI when you can have DIE, baby!

As Vince Neil once put it about Trump, "He's got crooks that kill."

In fact, here's a future video from the U.S. 2029 presidential inauguration ceremony:


Everything accurate except for Vince's waistline.

relation between what?

Between Trump in office and the crash

 

[Bjerknes]

Between Trump in office and the crash

The relation is the cult thinks DEI is the cause of all problems in our country. Trump then ends DEI overnight and encourages federal workers to resign or pause work. Then we have 5 air disasters in 10 days. Ipso facto, the disasters were clearly caused by Trump's orders, which means he is to blame.

Between Trump in office and the crash

- musk pressured the head of faa to resign. that's on day 1, when trump took office. yes, it was a priority because the guy was about to investigate spacex
- next day trump fired the heads of two related offices (transport security, coast guard)
- next day (we're at day 3 only!) a key aviation security advisory committee was disbanded
- day 7: our orange god didn't rest, they froze billions of govt funds, which lasted for like 2 days. they created a completely unnecessary panic within the executive branch
- next day: 2 million federal workers, 10k+ air traffic controllers included, received an email offering them to resign

(and there might be some stuff i don't know about)

they should have known that there are ~3k open air traffic controller positions in the country and they work overtime too. yet within a week, they created chaos, insecurity and even more stress within a profession that requires attention like very few others

and they are blaming it on dei (with the potomac crash, all involved were white straight males, despite all the effort of the right wing media to blame it on a trans military pilot, who's still well and alive so obviously couldn't drive the chopper when the tragedy happened lol) and biden

bottom line is that not all governmental employees are useless. and a country cannot be run like a business for way too many reasons. you can't fire 50% of the staff on day 1 like that imbecile elon did with twitter and not face consequences.

edit: i had like 5 phone calls during typing this post so sorry if it's not fully consistent. bjerknes also gave a shorter, more on point answer in the meantime

Anybody who knows anything about aviation practices will tell you ATC's have always been well vetted and upheld to high standards. I know of two people who used to work as ATC's at IAD as well as an aviation expert at the Pentagon. All of them will tell you the POTUS is being extremely irresponsible when there's already a shortage of FAA employees, not just ATC's. As everyone is going to see, wrecking safety standards under the guise of "necessary deregulation" is going to be the new normal under this government.

People do stupid things when they’re drunk or scared. But if you wake up the morning after bragging about those things then you need help.
