acts of violence from a illegitimate government is terrorism folks. I don’t care about America or Isis. A bad guy fighting a bad guy does not male one bad guy good.
So many levels of lol (halal /s)
“We spent sooo much money on getting this thing to be employee-owned and these motherfuckers are out here GIVING IT AWAY FOR FREE!”
Reminds me of a line from The Maxx: “The Crapon-in-a-hat and Jean Paul Satre team up to fight nausea? Sounds like a losing battle to me.”
Upvote for referencing an old cartoon I saw on Teletoon in the 90s
Maybe it’s like math, one terrorist cancels the other out?
This is something the US considered doing too. Talibans have a big conflict against the Islamic State in Khorasan. (source)
They were originally funded by the us to fight against Russia in the 80s iirc
The kicker is ISKP is largely made up former collaborators of the occupational government.
lol the us is the one who made taliban what it is
the us is the one who made both the taliban and isis what they are
The Taliban is more of a product of Pakistani ISI than the CIA.
I remember when Rambo 3 was about Rambo teaming up with basically the Taliban.
I’m sure there’s a pretty big overlap of members of the Afghanistan Mujahideen and the Taliban that followed it
This is unfortunately just a really good edit.
The original being “This film is dedicated to the gallant people of Afghanistan.” See, for example, this review from 1988
And the film was shot in contested territory in Israel
Edit: There is a documentary about it: Under a Blue Sun
Yes, the Taliban were armed and financed by USA.
Not exactly, the Taliban was never a part of the Mujahedin. They don’t show up until after the soviets leave and the US looses interest. They did however grow out Madrassas that were jointly sponsored by the USA and KSA.
It’s funny because the Taliban too is also fighting a form of terrorism
Spidermen pointing
everything i don’t like is terrorism!
Islamic State Khorasan Province is a grade A terrorist organization.
This Engine is Terrorism!
Wow. It’s come full circle.
The guy in pink: 😞😣😢
If you’re partnered with the Taliban, it’s not terrorism anymore, it’s military action ¯_ (ツ) _/¯
I was gonna say they’re a government now. Which escalates them to a different scope of suffering infliction.
It’s funny cause they legit have a terrorism problem with the once US funded IS. If you people had ever cared to see what has happened to Afghanistan after the Talibans took over you’d know that the terrorists are constantly bombing public spaces, public infrastructure etc.
The Talibans may be extremists and fundamentalists but terrorists? That’s a CIA talking point - any violence against us, the west, is terrorism.
The US abandoned Afghanistan in ruins after 30 years of war, bombing people and infrastructure and now they have to rebuild their country on their own, forgotten by the world. They are starving, they are extremely poor and because they are so vulnerable, the IS was able to establish itself there and terrorise the people. So I don’t get the irony here, you people are just hypocrites and don’t remember who caused all this in the first place.
30 years of war? Are you including their initial war with the USSR in that statement? Otherwise that sounds like a 50% rounding error.
As far as I’m concerned, the 92-01 war had the support of the US along with Russia. But that’s way besides the point I’m making.
I didn’t mean that it’s 30 years strictly against the US, I am only saying that these people have been tortured by war for 30 years and all people care about is to call the Talibans terrorists, not the people’s suffering by the world powers’ interventions.
Instead of playing with numbers, we could just focus on the issue of portraying every enemy of the US as a terrorist and mocking anything these people go through just because someone the west doesn’t like prevailed. Of course they are religious fundamentalists and oppressing, especially to women, but they are a legitimate government as much as you don’t like it and the people have the right to sort their society morals on their own just like the west did - it feels stupid to articulate such obvious statements, but people don’t get it.
…but they are a legitimate government as much as you don’t like it and the people have the right to sort their…
I’m Indifferent, though I see your point. I thought your numbers undercut your argument before you elaborated. Thanks for the follow-up.
I’m sorry I assumed that, people’s goal when making comments on semantics is usually to obfuscate the point
The US built a shitload of schools and infrastructure in Afghanistan but none of it has been maintained.
Ah yes, “we did good but they messed it up, as usual!”
If the US cared enough about the well-being and the services the people have access to in the nations they invade, they would probably not do the invading bit.

Oh, I think I’ve already seen this movie.
this is the fucking problem with westoids they dont fucking know anything about anything, they think that because the largest terrorist organization on earth (the CIA) told them that Taliban are terrorist they just are, the Taliban is the fucking government of Afghanistan, do they suck? yeah about as much as a fucking black hole, are they terrorist? obviously not. Are they better than the amerikkkan occupation? obviously. Why do they suck? because amerikkka fucking made to oppose a communist revolution. Like holy fuck can yall learn literally anything about history, can u atleast know something literally anything about the countries u invade.

Accusing people of being a bot while giving the most meme-template response in defense of the Islamic State.
Sir you are in a meme sub reddit. The Taliban is an illegitimate government in Afghanistan that has used acts of violence for political means. The very definition of Terorism. I did not talk about Isis and not the point regaurdless.
The Taliban is an illegitimate government in Afghanistan
They won the war. Its their state now.
acts of violence for political means. The very definition of Terorism.
Something literally every government must do is the definition of terrorist. Something fundamental to the nature of being a state is terrorism. Jesus Christ you’re brainwashed.

I think we’re done here after that embarrassing tantrum.
You’ve got the wrong idea on who’s been embarrassing themselves here, they weren’t the one simping for the Literal Fucking Taliban cx
IN DEFENSE OF THE ISLAMIC STATE XDDDDDDDDD you’re a goddamn riot my guy, I hope you get acid splashed in your face like you do desperately want for all women who dare show their face in public
The Islamic State are the ones suicide bombing Hazari women at the moment not the Taliban.
You’re right, Afghanistan is an absolute bastion for women’s rights, the brave taliban fighters are protecting women from the evil terrorists for sure. Do you hear yourself? XD
Can you show me where they defended the Islamic State?
Those are the terrorists the Taliban is currently fighting. Islamic State Khorasan Province, ISKP.
Again, I’m asking where he defended the Islamic State like you claimed. Making fun of the Taliban is not defending their enemies.
Making fun of the Taliban for joining forces against the Islamic State, the terrorists from the meme is defending them.
That’s not how it works, the meme is only pointing out the irony, not saying the Taliban is not allowed to fight back against the Islamic State.
You seem to have some trouble differentiating between making fun the Taliban vs defending the enemy of them. If I make fun of the US, that doesn’t mean I am defending China or Russia. Somehow, your head have managed to mix these two things together.
Can I chalk this up to you strongly supporting the Taliban to the point that any slight against them means it is defending their enemy?
Yes of course the taliban are terrorists. Are you 20?
I have personal experience with the Taliban. They are fucking terrorist scum. Just like ruZZia
I have personal experience with the Taliban
I can smell the RipIts spilling out of your Dodge Charger.
Ripits are only for butt chugging and well that’s about it. Dodge isn’t normaly sold here 😢
Ripits are only for butt chugging
Agreed, but they are the official energy drink of the US Army. I’m sure more than one private had boofed a ripit. Sorry you didn’t get a Charger. You would’ve love it.
People who can’t fathom this also can’t fathom that Iran offered to help the US invade Afghanistan because they wanted Al-Queada off their doorstep. Then we put them on the Axis of Evil and took 20 years to loose a war.
Poe’s law in full effect here.
Its like the US and Russia passing a blunt back and forth except the blunt is filled with afghans.
