I was reading an article that talked about that the Taliban are actually trying to find the trained Afghan pilots. For years, those guys were prime assassination targets but now they're looking for them to basically re-enlist in the Afghan armed forces on the side of the Taliban.


thats interesting

now that i think about it, with the cash they will have coming in soon and this, they might actually figure it out

Did the United States really leave 45 Blackhawk Helicopters in Afghanistan?

Because if so that's the most cringe shit I've read all year.


Not only did Biden leave them there...

He tried to bomb them, but the information leaked to the press...

And the Taliban flew them all away to hidden areas.

Holy shit we live in a clown world.

This is really the tell-tale sign of an empire in decline, like 300AD Rome.

The praetorian guard would assassinate emperors if they weren't getting paid enough.

Raytheon and Northrop are the only ones who gain here.

Can you explain that a little more? I don't know what kind of equipment that would entail or what kind of information it may have.
