There is quite a difference between the two. The Ukrainians are demonstrating intense national pride and defending themselves in every manner possible, and doing a pretty good job getting their story out. That gets peoples attention and support. The Afghan military, if ever there was such a thing, never did that. I was watching a youtube from a guy whose opinion I hold in high regard. He went on a special forces mission in Afghanistan with US troops. Long story short, they were with Afghan troops and those folks were asked, "why don't you fight these guys," and the response was, "That's the US' job." They simply didn't care. They remain a tribal culture with a "next dollar gets my allegiance," attitude, and no national identity to point to or rally around. Their light speed collapse proved that. Loss of life is sad on any scale, but it is human nature to support people you identify with, and I'm not talking race or culture. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the quick collapse of the Afghani government and army due to Biden's horrible withdrawal might have given Vlad the impression that he could do the same to Ukraine. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're spreading nothing except disdain and repulsion for their gov and their military. The world's desire to embrace Russian style communism is about as popular as covid. They are being publicly humiliated across international borders. This disgraceful exercise is going to cost them dearly. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B-Man Posted May 4, 2022 Share Posted May 4, 2022 Oh, great. Taliban using abandoned biometric data to target Afghan helpers It’s long been known that America’s disastrous withdrawal from Afghanistan last summer left behind a massive trove of more than seven billion dollars worth of weapons and other military equipment. This has made the Taliban one of the most well-armed military forces in the region. But there were other goodies left behind for the terrorists to rummage through. There were countless computers and other data storage devices. Some of these contained all of the personnel records of our Afghan helpers ranging from translators to teachers and general maintenance workers. Those records included all manner of biometric and personal data such as home addresses and the identity of relatives living in the area. Now the Taliban is using that data to track down the helpers that we left behind and imprison or execute them, and members of the Senate want answers as to how this happened. https://hotair.com/jazz-shaw/2022/05/04/oh-great-taliban-using-abandoned-biometric-data-to-target-afghan-helpers-n466980 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, but these types of crisis happen around the world and Ukraine is more important in status, TODAY. The people who die every day in US are people too. Likely more die daily from drugs than in Afghanistan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
