Re: Freetalk Friday 1
Got meetings with people from Anchorage, Colorado, Pittsburgh and Japan next week. The only time slot we had was 6PM to 10PM for the Pittsburgh dudes which is 7AM to 11AM of the next day for the Japan dudes. I imagine if we also had somebody from India somebody would have to be at the office middle of the night

They were founded by your country, so I would assume you're okay with them.

Re: Freetalk Friday 1
We only sent some pick-up trucks to some totally not terorrist organizations which were totally not using said pick-up trucks to use as a machine gun mount to slaughter kurdish villages. That never happened and if it did I do not have any active memory of it ever happening madam speaker.RefluxSemantic wrote:I wouldnt feel confident in that statement tbh.Mr_Bramboy wrote:Funding terrorist groups is pretty cringe tbh glad my country hasn't done that multiple times.

After the Soviet Union intervened and occupied Afghanistan in 1979, Islamic mujahideen fighters engaged in war with those Soviet forces.occamslightsaber wrote:That’s like saying King George III founded the USA.

Pakistan's President Muhammad Zia-ul-Haq feared that the Soviets were planning to also invade Balochistan, Pakistan, so he sent Akhtar Abdur Rahman to Saudi Arabia to garner support for the Afghan resistance against Soviet occupation forces. A while later, the US CIA and Saudi Arabian General Intelligence Directorate (GID) funnelled funding and equipment through the Pakistani Inter-Service Intelligence Agency (ISI) to the Afghan mujahideen.[95]
About 90,000 Afghans, including Mohammed Omar, were trained by Pakistan's ISI during the 1980s.[95] British professor Carole Hillenbrand concluded that the Taliban have arisen from those US-Saudi-Pakistan-supported mujahideen: "The West helped the Taliban to fight the Soviet takeover of Afghanistan".[96]
US literally bankrolled Taliban into existence just like it bankrolled China into the next superpower for past 30 years. Your only saving grace (not really saving) is that you weren't alone in the mishap. But being in bed with saudi's and pakistani's isn't exactly a rosy picture either.
Fine line to something great is a strange change.

Re: Freetalk Friday 1
The US had little to no interest in Afghanistan after the Soviet Union collapsed and the Taliban was founded well after that around 1994 with Pakistani backing.princeofcarthage wrote:After the Soviet Union intervened and occupied Afghanistan in 1979, Islamic mujahideen fighters engaged in war with those Soviet forces.occamslightsaber wrote:That’s like saying King George III founded the USA.

Your source says the Taliban arose from the US-Saudi-Pakistani-supported mujahideen, which is entirely different from the US founding the Taliban or literally bankrolling it into existence.
The mujahideen were not a centralized, monolithic entity. Some threw in with the Taliban after the Soviet withdrawal, while other mujahideen like Massoud opposed them.

Re: Freetalk Friday 1
US funnelled money and arms to mujahideen and the same established itself as Taliban with same leader and same fighters. Even after 1994 right until 2nd term of Obama US continued providing blank check to Pakistan which in turn funded Taliban, and US knew this. I mean literally experts agree that US played a pivotal role and had lion's share in establishment of Taliban and its rise to power. It's kinda ridiculous to argue on this honestly.

Re: Freetalk Friday 1
If you want to technically argue that whether US laid the first brick to Taliban or not then fine. But US for all practical reasons is responsible for establishment and continued survival of Taliban. Experts agree on this. US itself agree on this. Contrary to popular beliefs it is actually in US interest to keep these wars going for as long as possible.
