The war in Afghanistan is over! Long live the war in Afghanistan!
Yes, in case you haven't heard, the US Armed Forces are withdrawing from Afghanistan at the end of the month and NATO's "Resolute Support" mission — which took over from the NATO combat mission that ended in 2014 — will wind up at the same time. And now, exactly as predicted, everything is chaos. And by "everything," I mean
everything.
The Taliban is quickly taking over the country. This story is developing by the hour so it will doubtless have moved on by the time you read this, but as of press time the Taliban have already
seized half of Afghanistan's provincial capitals — including
Kandahar and
Herat, the second and third largest cities in the country respectively — and are on their way (
inevitably, we are told) to capturing Kabul itself. The US military has given up defending the country and is now
launching "over-the-horizon" strikes from Qatar and the Persian Gulf and using
drone strikes to destroy its own artillery and armoured vehicles, which are increasingly falling into Taliban hands.
In response, everyone is getting the hell out of Dodge. Denmark is
evacuating Afghan citizens who worked at their embassy. Canada is
deploying its special forces to evacuate its own embassy staff. The US military is
doing likewise and begging the Taliban to
pretty please don't hurt us as we run away. (No word yet on whether people will be
hanging from helicopters as they make their last minute escape.)
And, oh yeah, by the way,
Al CIAda is regrouping.
Are you scared yet? Well, you should be. Not because the scary turbaned bogeymen are coming to get you again, of course,
but because the government-media-military-industrial-technological complex want you to be scared, meaning that they doubtless have something up their sleeve.
So what's really happening in Afghanistan?
The simplest answer to that question might be: Nothing unexpected. After all, the country is called "
The Graveyard of Empires" for a reason.
Comment: Governments and global agencies are becoming more open that they use fear to coerce the public into doing their bidding:
- Psychologists accuse UK government of using 'unethical' fear tactics on people to enforce lockdown
- British MP Graham Brady: 'I Believe the Real Purpose of Masks is Social Control - It's Time to Turn Down the Fear Dial'
- Detaining schoolgirls & denying parents a proper funeral - Australia, you've gone too far with your Covid hysteria
