Afghanistan - 20 years on

Trying to talk to Africa, China and NK is like talking to a post. We already know that.

People are hoping the Taliban have changed and are giving them a chance, but they probably haven't. Not the foot soldiers at least who are high on drugs most of the time.

No Western government can possibly believe that so it must be some flimsy attempt to fool people into thinking they're competent when they drop the lolworthy sanctions on them rather than partly responsible for the situation.
 
Basically how they were running air traffic control for the evac op:

Though probably quite a bit more infrastructure than that involved.

Not sure if true but according to one of the comments at times the pilots were were having to rely on nothing more than ADS-B exchanges.

It actually makes sense. China certainly is a neighbour and doing business with you neighbours is what most sensible countries do (cough cough Brexit)

China and sensible in the same sentence!?, give your head a wobble!

I guess concentration camps and clamp downs in China is also what sensible counties do as well?? But yeah I guess Brexit is just as bad as killing people right.

From China's POV it would be exceedingly sensible to cut off Xinjiang insurgents from help across the border, it furthers their Belt-and-Road initiative and conveniently irritates their opponents.

Probably won't go very far though, but who knows.

All in all a very successful war for the Chinese, no troops lost, viewed as an ally rather than an oppressor and still able to access valuable raw materials rather than being cut out.

I'm starting to think Bush was bribed by Xi

They'll be looking to annex it as another province eventually.

I didn't say sensible from our point of view did I. I said sensible from an Afghan point of view. They have a market for their product on their doorstep and that country will also supply the tech to get at that resource. If human rights were taken into account when it comes to business our arms industry wouldn't be selling to countries with terrible human rights records would they but they have been and still are.

Agree it seems sensible to invest in and partner with Afghanistan from China's pov. Builds their influence in the region, allows Afghan resources to be exploited, improves their security and further surrounds rival India with their own allies.
 
The problem with partnering with China is they'll somewhat go the way of the West ironically, which is something they are very much against. I wonder how long it will be before the Taliban are running around with Huawei smartphones and knock off Manchester United shirts.

Dubious source but imagine having your own towns population increase by 25% overnight with another culture that's fundamentally at odds with your own.

Can anyone honestly say they wouldnt have an issue with this?

Those racist blooming Dutch. Do they not know how rich snd successful their town will now become with all those doctors and engineers.

I mean sure it might get a bit gang rapey andtl crime might increase by 500% but it's worth it right?

As Remix News has previously reported, the latest crime data released by Germany’s Federal Criminal Police Office (BKA) has shown that Afghan migrants are vastly overrepresented in the country’s gang rape statistics. In 2018, despite making up just 0.3 percent of Germany’s total population, Afghans were the suspected perpetrators in six percent of recorded gang rapes, figures have shown.

Furthermore, criminal statistics from 2017 showed that Afghans were five times more likely to carry out a criminal act than native Germans were. The figures in criminal categories such as sexual assault were even grimmer, showing that Afghans were 12.5 times more likely to commit such an offense than the rest of German society.

I can see why we need to up our allocation, its all making sense to me now. Allah is great.
 
After all the previous attacks by people like that, just how ******* stupid does a government have to be in order to let these 'known threats' and IS supporters back out on the streets?

Where are these actual statistics then? The flakey news report doesn't link to any.

And the BKA are the equivalent of the FBI, they don't even investigate rape, nor could I find any data from Germany that seperates 'rape' from 'gang rape' so how could they extrapolate the figures to state 6% of gang rapes were commited by Afghans?
